Printing Size Problem

Something strange is happening with my print command and my Mac.  So far I notice it happening regularly on Delta.com and Apple.com!  When I attempt to print say, my boarding passes on Delta.com or the comparison of the new iPad vs. the iPad2 on Apple.com, the PDF preview shows me page 1 looking perfect, but pages 2 through x are enlarged to the point that only what would be the lower left-hand quadrant of the page is shown in the sidebar and in the preview pane when I click on any of the thumbnails in the sidebar.  And if I print the document, that's exactly what I get.  But...if I print the documents from my laptop PC using the very same printer the job was sent to using my Mac, everything previews and prints perfectly.  Can anyone address this issue and suggest how I might resolve it?  Thanks for help, in advance.  PS: I'm using OS X v10.7.3 and everything is up to date.  Thanks.

I don't have any experience with this Epson printer but I observed a few things in your screen shots.
a) this might have nothing to do with the print size, and yet  ... the screen shot of your image shows a size of 14.003" X 21.042" @ 197 ppi.
Apart that this number is a bit low for a quality print, I wonder if this is one of the reasons why the print size is different than in Lr. You have set the printer to print <SuperPhoto - 2880 dpi>. That means your printer has to create 2880 dpi from 197 dpi. I have heard the pros always recommending to print with a resolution that is an integer of the largest printer res. So for 2880 dpi you could print at (2880/4 =) 720 dpi, or at (2880/8=) 360 dpi. So what does your printer do if you send it an image at 197 ppi/dpi? Maybe it's not very good at math ...
Try this: Export the file in Lr (as a JPG or as a TIFF) in a size of exactly 14.003" X 21.042" at 240 ppi (or better at 360 ppi); re-import in Lr (by checking >Add to this catalog> in the Export Dialog) and print it.
b) In your printer settings you show "Border: None". This is probably the reason why your print is off-center. If you tell your printer to print without a border it prints from the left side with minimum border. Specify a border that remains when you subtract paper size from print size, or - if you have that feature in the printer dialog  - center the print.
c) You show a paper size of 17x22". It seems to me that this is not an original Epson paper; at least I can't see a paper of that size in the Epson manual.
In my printer (and it's not an Epson) I have to add "odd" paper sizes in order to be able to use them (it's sort of like installing the "odd' paper size). I don't know if it's necessary to add "odd" paper sizes in an Epson or if it accepts the "odd" paper size just by entering it as you did.

  • CS4 Print size problem

    Help please, this is my first time printing in CS4 and I can't get the print to fill the whole media. The print is only 1/4 size of the media off to one corner even though I checked the "Center Image" box and it doesn't matter what paper size I use. It is always 1/4 the size of the media that I select to print on. The print is beautiful and correct in every way except for the size. I have used the adjustments in "Page Setup" and "Scaled Print Size" individually as well as in combination but it still only print 1/4 the size and a corner of the paper. I never have a problem with CS2 and the R1800 before. Thanks for your help in advance.

    Well, with my Canon Pro9500, you have to select "boundless printing" or else there will always be a margin around it, check that.

  • Print size problems with Epson R3000 and Mountain Lion

    I am using Mountain Lion on a 2008 MBP and an Epson R3000 printer.  I can not get prints to size to my paper.  In aperture I am choosing custom since there is no option for 11.7X16.5.  I have set the print size to the same and still it does not work.  I tried both landscape and portrait but that did not work.

  • Printing size problem in Lightroom 5

    I need help. When I print from Lightroom 5 with the settings noted in these screen shots I do not get the proper size print. You can see that I'm using 17" X 22" paper and the print should be 14.003" X 21.042" which is a 1.5 aspect ratio. From the first screen shot you can see that Lightroom 5 does diplay exactly what I intended. What actually is printed is a version that is 12.55" X 18.25" with a aspect ratio of aproximately 1.45. I've wasted two sheets of 17" X 22" paper and the associated ink and I cannot fathom why this is happening.
    Also, it is printing off center even though the preview in Lightroom 5 is centered.
    Any ideas?

  • Printing, new problem, tiny size, not cured by any steps identified in support.

    A new problem a few weeks old. When I print from Firefox, the result is a very tiny image printed at the top part of the page. If I change the settings, it chops each page up into 4 pages and prints a quarter on each page. I do not have this problem if I print from IE, so not a printer problem. I have been through every single step in the help topic on printing problems and any step suggested in answer to a forum question. No joy.

    If Firefox is not using the whole sheet of paper, this can be caused by having extracted the wrong paper size settings from Windows when reading the print driver data. Clearing it can involve finding some obscure settings, but here goes:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''print''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) For each setting for the problem printer, right-click and Reset it. The fastest way is to right-click with the mouse and then press the r key on the keyboard with your other hand.
    Note: In a couple other threads involving Brother printers, the preference '''printer_''printer_name''.print_paper_data''' was set to 256 and when the user edited it to 1 that fixed the paper size problem. If you see a 256 there, you can edit the value by doubling-clicking it or using right-click>Modify.
    Any improvement?

  • Printer print size is very small. Do not have this problem with Internet explorer.

    When I try to print something in Firefox, the printer print size is extremely small. I do not have this problem with Internet Explorer.

  • Image size problem when printing

    After printing a few 6" x 4" prints on my Epson Stylus Photo printer I found that all my images were enlarged so cropped off slightly.  I now find that if I pre set the image size in library custom mode (6000x4000) first before print then they print the correct size.  Is this normal practice or can I set the correct image size in print mode so as not to crop off?  All my original images are either raw or tiff and considerably larger than print size.  In print mode all my margins are set to 0.00 and cell size to 6.00 x 4.00.

    If you are going to print an image at 6x4, then you need to first use the crop tool in Lightroom and crop your image to a 6x4 aspect ratio. If your image is any other aspect ratio, the image will wind up enlarged and some of the image will not fit on the paper, as you have seen.

    If this does not help, then please follow the steps list below which will give you a Workaround that may help with this problem.
    Assign the printer a static IP address
    An IP address is an Internet network address that the computer can use to communicate with the printer. Enter a static IP address to make sure that the wireless connection remains stable. Follow these steps to assign the printer a static IP address.
    Get the printer IP address.
    Press the Wireless button on the printer control panel to view the network settings.
    Access the Network menu on the printer control panel.
    Print a Network Configuration Page or Wireless Test Report page.
    Once you have the printer's IP address, open a new web browser window or tab.
    Type the IP address in your web browser's address bar, and then press Enter.
    Make sure that you type the IP address into the browser's address box. If you type it into a tool bar search box, the EWS will not open.
    If the message 'There is a problem with this website's security certificate' appears in the web browser when you try to open the embedded web server (EWS), or when you navigate within the EWS, click ' Continue to this website (not recommended)'.
     note:
    Choosing 'Continue to this website (not recommended)' will not harm your computer while you navigate within the EWS for your printer. If you encounter this error outside of your printer's EWS, your computer could be at risk.
    If the browser fails to open the EWS after you click 'Continue to this website (not recommended)', refresh the browser window.
    The Embedded Web Server (EWS) for the printer opens and confirms that the printer is on the same network as the computer.
    In the EWS, click the Network tab.
    In the Wireless section, click the Network Address (IP) or IPv6 configuration, depending on your network setup.
    Click Manual IP, and then click Suggest a Manual IP Address. A manual IP address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway displays.

    The user can select to make this new printer the default and then click Finish.
    The new printer is now setup but this printer may be using the In OS driver (Class) rather than the HP Full Function driver.
    To change the printer to use the HP Full Function driver follow the following instructions. I would recommend changing the driver to the HP Full Function driver as the User can then use features such as Custom paper sizes.
    Go back into Control Panel and choose devices and Printers, right click on the newly created printer and choose Printer Properties
    Choose the Advanced Tab
    Click on the driver section drop down and choose the Driver for the printer that does not have the words Class driver after it.
    Click apply and then OK and the driver will be changed to the HP Full Function driver for the printer.
    The user should try this configuration and see if they still experience problems.

    I have the printer offline problem. It started when I ran out of toner. I have now installed a new toner cartridge.
    Your solution does not help me because I have tried to install Win8.1 and it failed.
    I would just reinstall my printer but I have a long list of items in my print queque and I don't want to lose them.
    Is there another solution? 
    Or is there a way I can save the print queue?

  • I can't change print sizes in certain folders!

    This is a maddening problem!
    I have an HP 8750, which I have no problems with.
    I just got a Kodak 5100 printer. The problem is that in certain folders, if I try to change the print size of an image, say Letter to Borderless 4x6, it doesn't stick! In the upper left region, it'll show the new size I selected, but the margins, cell size, image size, etc., don't change.
    This only happens in certain folders within the Library! If I move an image from a folder that has the problem into another folder that's working properly, I can resize the images in that folder. If I move it back to the "bad" folder, it won't work again. Likewise, taking an image from a good folder to a bad one makes it so I can't change the size.
    This only happens with the 5100 printer. If I switch to the HP, I can set the paper size just fine, even in a "bad" folder. If I switch back to the 5100, it goes back to the size I set before.
    It also only happens in Lightroom. If I export the image into Photoshop, it works fine.
    I'm thinking this is a bug.

    Here's a random sampling of folder names that work and don't work:
    works:
    E:\Digital Photos\Maria2
    E:\Digital Photos\Maria and Lei\Lollipop
    doesn't work:
    E:\Digital Photos\Maria and Lei\Yellow
    E:\Digital Photos\Maria
    E:\Digital Photos\London\fig
    E:\Digital Photos\London\rejects
    Notice there are 2 subfolders of E:\Digital Photos\Maria and Lei\, and one works, one doesn't.
    Now I haven't systematically checked every file in any particular folder, but if I find that one file in a folder works or doesn't work, every other file I randomly pick so far has also worked or not worked just like the first one.

  • Question about "Print Size"

    I am confused and puzzled about "Print Size." First I select the Zoom Tool, then I click "Print Size" in the upper bar. I also have chosen View > Rulers.
    What I don't understand is that one inch in the horizontal ruler actually is considerably longer than one inch on the vertical ruler.  I think this is distorting the appearance on my photos in the monitor as compared with the actual prints. The monitor version of my portrait, for example, looks fatter than the printed version. Why is this and why isn't a horizontal inch equal to a verical inch for viewing purposes.
    Thank you very much for any help on this.
    Bob

    Thank you very much. I changed my monitor to its native resolution and I think this solved the problem.  Bob

  • How do I set print size when printing from an IPhone or IPad?

    I have an HP Deskjet 3520. Today (11/24/12) is the first time I tried to e-print with both an IPhone and IPad (both IOS 6.01).  I was able to print easily from both devices. I tried a document from the Notes app on the IPhone and a photo from both the IPhone and IPad. The problem is that I had no idea what the print size would be because there were no formatting options prior to the printing. I printed on letter size paper. Do I need an app for that or is there another solution?

    Airprint will just default based on the printer options, and the file type. If you had a printer with a separate photo tray it would default to 4x6 or 5x7 if it is in the photo tray and you are printing a picture, most other files would use standard letter size.
    The HP ePrint app is what you want for this, it is free in the app store. This will give you options to set the paper type and size.

  • HP 8750 Paper-Size Problem where it keeps telling me the paper is too big (it's set up for 11x17)

    I've got an HP 8750 printer running with a Windows 7 Ultimate machine, and I've got a paper-size problem where it keeps telling me the paper is too big. It's set up for 11 x 17. 
    The actual wording on the printer is: 
    Paper installed is larger than needed. Press cancel to replace with correct size, if you wish to save paper, or press check mark to continue. 
    When you press the check mark it feeds the paper, but for a multi page-document I have to press the check mark for each page to feed.
    How do I get it to print 11 x 17 paper without having to press the check mark for each page?

  • Lightroom automaticaly enlarges print size. How do you stop this?

    How do you keep Lightroom from changing the print size? For example, if I have a 4.5 x 7.5 image ( the image size displayed in PS), LR seems to want to make it larger than this size, such that it fits into an arbitrary cell size designated by the "Fine Art Mat" template. I select this template because the other single cell templates want to enlarge it even more.
    How do you tell Lightroom to leave the image size alone? Right now I have to open the image in PS, check the exact size dimensions, then switch back to LR and specify these dimensions in the cell size, which rounds the numbers off to two decimal places. This is time consuming and awkward. Why isn't the default to print the image its actual size instead changing to fit an arbitrary cell size in a template? Lightroom is suppose to make things simpler, but in this case it makes it more complicated.
    Also, if you want a specific size image and ppi, is there some way to specify the size like you can do in PS?

    Alexander,
    What I mean is print size. I agree that it is possible to specify a cell size, which is how print size is specified in LR. The problem is that LR doesn't know what size the image is suppose to be printed at. This is not my fault, but a fault in the design of LR.
    The actual print size of a digital image is determine by its number of pixels and the specified resolution. These parameters are encoded in each image file. LR fails to recognize this information, ignores the information and automatically changes these parameters to fit into an arbitrary cell dimension/resolution.
    This is LR fault and not the photographer. It creates a very real issue to not only photographers who scan artwork but also for photographers who have regularly made prints in the past of their own work or artwork they reproduce for others. For example I and many photographers make prints of our work, exhibit this work and sell it. Our image files have encoded in them the pixel dimension/resolution, thus the print size on paper. When a print is ordered, then we want to be able to print it out quickly at this encoded print size. This should be a zero step process, as far as image print sizing goes, since we have already previously encoded the print size.
    Print sizing in LR is not a zero step process for previously encoded files, it involves the steps outlined in my original posts. This is an issue to many photographers who sell prints of their work or reproduce artwork of other artists. Granted it only takes a minute or two completing the steps I have outlined, but this is a nuisance, considering that it could be very simply avoided by the suggestions outlined by myself and other posters to this thread.

  • IPhoto Printing - sizing problems

    After many hours of frustration I am about to give up on iPhoto 7.1 printing. The Print Settings dialog does not match the choices of settings or paper sizes of my printer. I enter a custom size [tedious to have to do when it is a standard photo paper size such as "L"], enter, then when I add a border the paper size reverts to A4. If I don't add a border or otherwise customize the picture, then go to "print" on checking the advanced print options the paper size does not match that set in the "Print Settings" dialog. Even if the preview looks right the print size does not match. I called into my local Apple store and tried this at the Genius Bar - they found the same issue on their Mac and after an hour of head scratching they could not figure it out. Any thoughts? This should be dead easy - I am back to adding borders in PS and printing from Aperture; not what I want to do for snapshots.

    Daniel:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Can you provide a little more info regarding the paper sizes available, printer type, etc. Not familiar with paper size "\L\". What language is you Mac set up for? What sizes are you trying to print? Are you cropping the images to the paper size selected beforehand?
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Print scaling problem

    When trying to scale the print size, after clicking inside the scale box, the sizes just keep increasing, even though I never got a chance to enter anything. It just keep getting bigger and bigger. How do I turn this "feature" off?

    No, I mean the one that says "scale" right before the fit media. When I click in that box to try and engter a vaule, it just goes wild increasing the value until I cancel. Ihave rebooted both PS and my computer but the problem persists. I have been using PS for years and have never experienced this problem.
