Applescript to Print "Fill entire paper"

Hello,
I'm using applescript to take images that are added to a folder to automatically open in preview and print. The print options will not let me save settings. I'd like to always have the print set to "Fill Entire Paper" instead of "Print Entire Image" is there a way to use applescript to have it automatically choose the option to "Fill Entire Paper" versus "Print Entire Image"? We've tried everything from resizing, printing through photoshop, nothing seems to work. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick

You mention using AS to set the preset. Do you know how to do that?
I'm trying to find out how to use a print preset in Applescript on 10.6.7. The only things I've found on the internet suggest running a terminal command that changes the preset, but they are talking about 10.4 and it doesn't work in 10.6. I can't find the answer to this anywhere. It seems like it should be rather simple.

  • How to default Preview/Finder to print "Scale to Fit Print Entire image/Fill Entire Paper"?

    Hello all,
    I have to print PDFs. Preview or printing directly from Finder prints scaling 100% and many many times the edges of the PDFs are left outside of the printing area. I have the correct paper size selected (A4) and actually the PDFs are also A4 but for some reason 100% zooms in a bit and cuts the sides of the print outside.
    I can of course fix this by selecting Scale to Fit and Print Entire Image but I do have to do this every single time I open a PDF. I want to make this option my default! And preferrably so that I can use CMD+P from Finder to print directly without having to open the PDF. I already know what is in it...
    I have tried different Terminal tricks I have found searching the web but no luck, this and others with Preview closed before executing the command
    defaults delete com.apple.Preview PVImagePrintingScaleMode
    Please help and make my life easier. Cannot be this hard.

    I got a work around for this. Instead of using RTF template, I used Microsoft Excel itself as template and did the formatting in excel.
    thanks,
    Vijay

  • Problems printing to large paper size

    Hi,
    Using Acrobat 9
    In my work, I use different programs for floorplans and renderings. I send to my Customers the documents as PDF file , and usually the scaled floorplans are in  large paper size (22x34 or up)
    With one of the CAD programs, all works fine with paper size up to size C,  but if I choose, for example, Ansi D, I see a screen "Creating Adobe PDF" but nothing happens, the bar doesn't move and the file is not printed / saved
    I'd appreciate any idea to solve this issue
    TIA

    There are a couple of things you can try; 1.) see if you have enough system memory to process the page ( it could be running out of system memory ); 2.) set an invisible holding line to the page / document and lock it ( no stroke, no fill @ 13 x 19 ); 3.)  Use the Page tool ( if you haven't already ) and set it to the document, edge-to-edge.  Also, check you ink supplies, there may be an empty cartridge preventing you from printing the entire file.  Hope this helps.

  • Printing to large paper on epson printer

    I am trying to print a document from Illustrator. The document size is 13" x 19".
    When I load Super A3 paper (13x19) into my Epson printer the printer starts and begins to print but stops about 4 inches down the paper and then ejects the whole sheet (with the remainder of the image not being printed). The epson monitor shows that the document is still processing after the partly printed sheet is ejected. The quality of the partly printed sheet is fine.
    I set up print dialogue box from illustrator to the sheet size that I am putting in. Ive tried 3-4 times with the same result.
    I am on a MAC OSX 10.5.8
    I seem to have no problems with printing to other standard sheet sizes.
    Any thoughts??

  • Can't print to correct paper size.

    I am using an HP Deskjet 5440. I want to print to 4x6 paper. I go into iPhoto 6.0.6 and set up a picture to print on 4x6 paper (or so I think). I hit preview. It looks perfect. I hit print. It prints about an eighth of the picture (right proportions and all, as if it were going to look right on the paper) then stops and spits it out as if it's finished. Okay, I go into Photoshop Elements and try to print again using that program, this time it prints half the page correctly and spits it out after that. Then I go into Preview. It prints out 3/4 of the page correctly, but there is still white space on the page. What am I doing wrong? I would think that if it looked right in the "preview" mode, it would print out that way. Why is it not printing out to the full page. It's a landscape picture and I select landscape mode, I set it to fill a 4x6 page. In Page Setup I select 4x6 borderless printing. I just want it to look like it does in "preview mode." Can somebody please help me and tell me how to get it to print the entire image on the whole piece of paper? Thanks.

    Thank you for the suggestion. I tried what you suggested and it didn't work. I am getting more and more frustrated. I don't know what the problem is. It's affecting all my photo programs though. It's not only happening in iPhoto, but my new Photoshop Elements and in Preview. It just prints out half the picture on 4x6 paper, whether I select landscape or portrait. If I print the picture out on 8 1/2 x 11 it comes out okay in the middle of the paper in 4x6.
    Here's more details. I scanned in a bunch of negatives on my new Epson Perfection V200 PHOTO scanner. I used the negative caddy to scan them in. I scanned them in using 3200 dpi and original size target. I imported all the pictures to iPhoto and tried to print some of them out. When I set it up using 4x6 borderless printing, it only printed the picture on half the paper. It looked as if it was going to print correctly, but for some reason the printing stopped at half the page. When I used the other landscape setting it printed out the OTHER half of the picture. So, now I can tape the two halves and make one picture, but not a real solution, is it?
    So, I opened up Photoshop Elements, which I also just purchased. I tried printing from there and it still only printed a partial picture. The same result came from trying to print it from Preview. Although, sometimes, the printer goes through the motions of printing and then NOTHING is printed on the page.
    Also, for some reason, the black and white photos come out looking as if they've been through some sort of filter, like "emboss" or something similar. What could be causing that?
    Here is what I am using:
    Intel iMac 20 inch
    2.16 GHz Core 2 Duo
    2 GB of SDRAM
    256 Megs VRAM
    iPhoto 6.0.6
    Photoshop Elements 4.0.1
    HP Deskjet 5440
    Kodak Premium Photo Paper 4x6
    I have tried various settings and I cannot get it to print on a full 4x6 page. Even when I use constrain or page setup or various combinations.
    When I printed out large numbers of 4x6 photos on my old iMac G3 last year using the last version of iPhoto and the same HP Deskjet printer, they came out perfectly. They had been taken with a Kodak Digital camera.
    Any help would be appreciated, I get more and more frustrated.

  • Using windows 7, how do I get my Officejet Pro K8600 to print to 13x19 paper?

    I purchased a laptop with Windows 7. Now I cannot get my Officejet Pro K8600 to print correctly to 13x19 paper. It prints onto 13x19 paper but everything is 8.5 x 11 in size. I click print, click properties, change the paper to Super B 13x19, hit ok, the box shows the 13x19 paper with the images filling the paper, I click ok for it to print and it prints the image 8.5 x 11 in size on the 13x19 paper instead of filling the 13x19 paper. I did not have this trouble (and still don't) with my old laptop with XP. Is it the operating system or is it a wrong setting in properties? I have tried to compare the properties settings in both computers, but I cannot find any differences. I don't think it's the driver....please help!

    Hello HW,
    Try this: go to Devices and Printers and right-click on the Officejet Pro K8600 and click on Printer Properties. Go to the tab called Advanced and click on the button called Print Processor. Select Winprint and click OK. Try another printout and see if it works now. If you still see the same issue see if there's a scaling option on the print dialogue in the application you're printing from.

  • Only 3/4 of photos print on photo paper

    Only 3/4 of the photo prints on photo paper (4x6 borderless). If photo is printed on full size paper entire photo prints.

    Try these steps and let me know if it resolves your issue or not:
    1. Remove all paper from the paper tray.
    2. Place the photo paper print side down on the right side of the paper tray.
    3. Slide the paper-width guide inward until it stops at the edge of the paper.
    4. On the File menu in your software application, click Print.
    5. Make sure the product is the selected printer.
    6. Click the button that opens the Properties dialog box.
    Depending on your software application, this button might be called Properties,
    Options, Printer Setup, Printer, or Preferences.
    7. Click the Features tab.
    8. In the Basic Options area, from the Paper Type drop-down list, select More. Then,
    select the appropriate photo paper type.
    9. In the Resizing Options area, from the Size drop-down list, select More. Then, select
    the appropriate paper size.
    If the paper size and paper type are not compatible, the printer software displays an
    alert and allows you to select a different type or size.
    10. (Optional) Select the Borderless printing check box if it is not already checked.
    If the borderless paper size and paper type are not compatible, the product software
    displays an alert and allows you to select a different type or size.
    11. In the Basic Options area, select a high print quality, such as Best, from the Print
    Quality drop-down list.
    NOTE: To achieve the highest dpi resolution, you can use the Maximum dpi
    setting with supported types of photo paper. If Maximum dpi is not listed in the
    Print quality drop-down list, you can enable it from the Advanced tab. For more
    information, see “Print using Maximum dpi” on page 30.
    12. In the HP Real Life Technologies area, click the Photo fix drop-down list and select
    from the following options:
    • Off: applies no HP Real Life Technologies to the image.
    • Basic: enhances low-resolution images; moderately adjusts image sharpness.

  • How do i set it to fit to screen to print the entire file?

    How do i set it to fit to screen to print the entire file?  I have a file that is smaller than 8.5x11 but it says it's larger and clipping will occur and when I print it, it does not fit the paper.  Ive even clicked the box that says Scale to Fit Paper Size and it's still giving me that message and cutting info off. 
    I also need to be able to size it by percentage so I can adjust it to fit into a pre made form Im working with.

    First, I am new to this forum and I was told by Adobe that I would get help from Adobe as well as other users here, so that's why I posted.  But nobody asked me for basic info about image dimensions and printing sizes.  I never claimed to be an expert, just a basic user of PS, which is why Im asking for help.  I've used this program for my basic needs which is probably 1/1000th of what PS is capable of, but it's what I've used and I've always had success doing what I needed to do with it. If you can help, I very much appreciate it but if you just want to slam me and say you don't believe what I say, then that's not really helpful. Since nobody else responded to this post with any offers for help, the info you seek is below.  If you have any thoughts on how to help, I greatly appreciate it.
    Im not sure how the image dimensions apply to my question at all but here they are: 3300x2550 with a 300 dpi resolution. 
    Im simply trying to get the program to allow me to fit the image to the paper Im printing and adjust it as necessary to make it fit a partially pre-printed form I need for work and in every PS version I've used that I can recall, it allowed that.  It certainly allowed it, using the same printers Im using now, in CS5.
    Also, you mentioned that the printer driver handles this but I can do this in every other program I have on this computer with the same printers, from Numbers (it's a Mac) to Preview to Mac Mail so why wouldn't it do the same thing in PS? That's what Im trying to find out here and with most software, I can pick up a phone or get on a one-on-one chat and get help, but apparently not with PS and since it's not a cheap program, I expected more.  I never needed to call for help before using this new version, so that's something I need to consider.
    Again, if you are able to help, I appreciate it. Thanks!

  • Printer won't print after adding paper. I have an MX922

    Whats' up? 

    Hi pappyof4,
    You will want to ensure that the paper size and type selected in the printer driver and program you are trying to print from matches the size and type of paper you are trying to print on to try and resolve the issue.  You can also perform a roller cleaning on the unit to ensure that the paper path is clear for the paper to be fed.  To perform the roller cleaning, please follow the steps located here.

  • Cp1525nw to print on A4 paper

    How can I get my HP CP1525nw to print on A4 (about 4" by 7") paper? It prints with a top margin of about 3 inches, which is too far down the small sheets of paper.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Sorry, my error. The A4 paper size specification was incorrect. In actual fact, the paper size is non-standard at 3-3/4" x 6-7/8" for my wife's obsolete Lefax binders, but she still uses them for her recipes. I solved the problem by doing this. I invoked MSPublisher, selected a blank page size, created a New Page Size of 3.9 x 6.8", double clicked to open it, inserted two more pages, used Format > Layout Guides to create guide lines with proper margin indents on all four sides (leaving an extra wide margin at the bottom, a very narrow margin at the top, and space for punching loose-leaf holes on the left side), inserted a page number spot at the bottom of the page, inserted a Text Box on all three pages that matched the guide lines, used View > two-page spread in order to get facing pages, linked the 3 text boxes, copied the desired text and pasted it into the first Publisher page. It overflowed, so I allowed Pub to create additional pages. I selected the entire text and chose the desired (monospaced) font and point size, and loaded my special size paper into the printer. I had to select Printing Options and paper size, and the size (among the limited options) that seemed to fit best was called Envelope Monarch. Then I was able to print the document. It wasn't simple to figure all this out and took quite a bit of experimentation, but "Nothing beats success!" I have since written all of this down so that I can refer to it when I need to do it all again. 22-OCT-2014

  • IPad printing fit to paper?

    I printed a pdf from iPad uasing airprint, and it came out of the printer a 4x6 image instead of fitting to paper 8.5x11. I couldn't find any adjustments that can be had to fit to paper. I checked the printer and the iPad. Is there another way to fill the paper or this is the way it prints, of which renders it pretty useless because the forms are too small.

    If you are using HP, you can use AIO Remote to adjust image size.

    how can i print just one page of photo book without printing the entire book

    Jim,
    Take heart.  We can help.
    First turn on page view so you can see how the content of your sheet fits on the page(s).  A Numbers document contains sheets (listed on the left) which in turn contain tables, charts, text, and graphics.  Select the sheet you want to print on the left, then enable page view by selecting the menu item:
    "View > Show Print View":
    Now you should see your content and how it fits on one, or more, pages.  If thie content is too big for one page use the controls and the bottom left of the window to expose the sheet controls:
    Here a table is too big to fit on one page:
    slide the "Content Scale" slider so the content fits:
