Brother printer misses A4 paper vertical or horizontal, using Mac OS 10.6.8 & 10.8.8

When printing from PS CS5.1 (ver. 12.1), I can see the print dialog for Brother printers on my Mac (OS 10.6.8 or 10.8.8). Papers were printed with misses that image in horizontal A4, although I had set image in vertical A4. I can see a fit of image to horizontal A4 on print dialog.
Another files made or opened by Word, Preview, Mail, etc. can be printed without any troubles. Although I had inquired regarding the matter to Brother and Apple, they recommend inquiry to Adobe.
Thanks in advance.

Hello BionicBird,
I have a Brother MFC6490CW On my Mac the Brother CUPS driver is installed.
I notice the vertical offset on my JIS B4 paper. To fix this I click on Page Setup. then I go to Page Size in Print Preferences. In the list I select "Manage Custom Sizes" and there I click + to add my custom size and name it "B4 Center" where my margins are .25 inches all around.
Then in Page Size I select B4 Center from the list and it will print centered on my Brother.
1. First click the button marked in red.
2. On "Paper Size" choose Manage Custom Sizes which should be at the bottom of the paper sizes list.
3. Click on "+" to add a custom size. Double-click on Untitled to rename it to A4 Center. Set Page size and margins. Press OK
4. From your Page Size menu, A4 Center should be at the bottom as a custom size, select it and use it in Photoshop.

How can I change the printer page orientation from vertical to horizontal?

I cannot seem to find a way to get the desired page to print horizontally instead of vertically as it normally does. Can I do this; how?
Currently, Family Tree Maker is the app in which I'm having this problem. I want to print a census report in "landscape" instead of "portrait."

@sambrack
Try the '''Preview''' button at the bottom of the Print dialog window and see if there are Portrait / Landscape buttons at the top of the Print Preview window. ''(Those buttons are there on Linux & Windows versions of Firefox, and most likely on Mac, too.)''
If so, select Landscape and then Print from that Preview window.

Yes, but with different for what is the way?
For exemple with this two triangles:
public class Triangles
public static void main(String[] args){
int number =7;
String triangle = "";
String triangle2 = "";
//first triangle
for(int i=0; i< number; i++)
triangle = triangle + '*';
System.out.println(triangle);
System.out.println("\n");
//second triangle
for(int f=0; f<number+f; f++)

System.out.print('*');
number = number -1;
System.out.print("\n");
System.out.println("\n");

Can't print from Firefox 3.6.12. Using Mac OS 10.6.4. No problem w/other apps.

Not able to print from Firefox. I can print from all other applications, including Safari. 13 others have listed this as a problem on the Support pages, but there has been no response.

I did as benshaine posted in his thread here: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/789780 I installed Firefox 3.5.10 to my desktop, printed from 3.5.10 and then went back into 3.6.x and I could print.

How do I print to both sides of paper for greeting card on Brother Printer

I did not find the answer on the forum. I have iLife 09 and this Brother MFC-790CW printer. I do not see any automatic setting for printing on both sides. I am using a iPhoto greeting card template and it looks OK with a page one for the front and a page two for the back.
Maybe the only way is to print out all the fronts pages (20) and then put the paper back in and print all the pages 2 (the text inside of the card). That seems like it would be faster than other ways, except automatic.
Obviously I should have done this a month ago and sent the project to Apple, but now I have no more time. Ii have the right paper for the one fold cards and plenty of ink

You need to have an image editor that supports layers. If you do follow the directions in these tutorials:
#8 - Printing a iPhoto Greeting Card
#8a - Printing a iPhoto Greeting Card to Standard Stock Sizes
Here are some editors that support layers:
Some Image Editors that support layers:
Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac - $79
GraphicConverter - $45
Rainbow Painter - $30
Acorn - $50
Pixelmator - $60
Seashore - Free
Portraits and Prints - Free
GIMP for Mac - Free
You might be able to use Pages instead of an image editor.

HP LaserJet 5500dtn print quality issues: vertical and horizontal streaks

Hi,
I am getting large vertical yellow streaks, accompanied by cyan and magenta vertical dashes on each print. Also, each page has vertical and horizontal black streaks. I've cleaned the fuser and that hasn't made much of a difference. I've also tried cleaning some of the cartridges, which didn't help. The internal roller of each cartridge continues to get covered with excess toner. Furthermore, I get a weird offset of some of the text (a faded version of the text that is offset about 1.5" from the regular text). Is there anyway to fix this issue by cleaning certain parts? Any other suggestions? Thanks

Hi,
Yes it is in Warranty. It is virtually brand new.
After I last posted I got through to the online chat support and was sent an email with options to 'troubleshoot' which I had already done with no success.
I was also given a link to try to update the printer firmware - which I will try when I get home from work.
I will see if that makes any difference but am sceptical as the printer worked fine the first time round but hasn't worked since and nothing has changed on it.
Chris.

Word document pdf printing with vertical and horizontal pages

I have a Word document that has both vertical and horizontal formatted pages. When I print to PDF, the I get a new pdf file whenever a page orientation change is found. pages 1 to 7 are vertical, 8 to 12 are horizontal and 13 to 20 are vertical again. If I print to a file named "out_to_PDF" I get 3 files named "out_to_PDF", "out_to_PDF2" and "out_to_PDF3", the first one with pages 1 to 7, the second one with pages 8 to 12 and the third one with the remaining pages. Is there a way to get only one file with all the pages?
I know I can merge the files later. This file with 20 pages is no problem. I have several 70+ page docs, with multiple changes between horizontal and vertical that will result in 20 or more separate pdf files.
Any pointers?

Word renders print jobs that change the orientation as separate print jobs. So, each print job becomes its own PDF.
You can make an Automator workflow to combine PDFs. I’m not sure how it decides the order it combines them, so you’d have to experiment.
This is built as an Application where you’d drop all of the PDFs onto the App icon and it will open the combined PDF where you can edit, name, and save.

Quick Look PDF with vertical and horizontal pages

Is there any way to make Quick Look preview a PDF file with vertical and horizontal pages without adding white padding and retaining the aspect ratio?
Now, if I have a PDF with page 1 vertical and the other pages horizontal QL shows the latter also with the ratio of a vertical page and adds white padding at their top and bottom. You get the inverse output if the first page is horizontally oriented, but the rest are vertical.

Problem printing on dot-matrix printer with continuous paper

Post Author: kdebruyckere
CA Forum: .NET
Hi,
We're currently developping an .net application for a customer of ours in VS2005 (c#). I used crystal reports for VS2005 to create an invoice.
The invoices have to be printed on a dot-matrix printer with continuous paper (Brother M-4318). When an invoice is only one page long, there's no problem. Even when printing several sigle-page invoices after another, all goes fine. The problem occurs when an invoice is more then one page longe. The first page comes out correctly, but on the following pages everything moves ca. 3 mm upwards (3 mm on the second page, 6 mm on the third page, and so on...). On the report 'Design > Printer Setup', I selected the right printer, the right paper size, ... On the report there's a page header (consisting of two sections), and there's a page footer that is only printed on the last page, but there are no report header and no report footer.
I can not figure out what seems to be the problem. Has anyone else had this or a similar problem before? If so, please let me know. Any suggestions are welcome.
thx

Cannot print on glossy paper any more

I used to be able to print on glossy paper and no longer can do so. Anybody know why. I also cannot scan any more.
I think I am missing some software but I have no idea how it got lost or how to get it back. This has been going on for more than a year and I have been working around it but I need to use it now.
Any help out there. Thanks
Frances Naan

Hard Reset – While printer is powered ON, pull
the power cord from the printer then from the
wall. After 30 seconds reconnect power to
wall and printer. This will trigger a ‘dirty power
up’ and restore the printer to a known good
condition (if it is possible). No user settings
are lost with a ‘hard reset’.
This ‘Hard Reset’ is one of the most powerful
tools to use when the printer hardware is not
functioning properly!

My HP phoyosmsrt 7510 wont print 4x6 photo paper from computer/ ok 4x6 from printer itself

1. HP photosmart 7510 c311a
2. machine a. windows vista
b. windows 7
3. no error messages
4. new printer added 1 day ago....prints from bottom paper tray only from computer but prints from both trays from the printer itself

I'm having the same problem. Is there something in the software that I am missing. I use Windows Live Photo Gallery software for the image, adjust the photo size to 4x6. It prints a 4x6 photo on the 8x10 paper. How do I tell the printer to use the size paper I am wanting for each photo? Can it be changed print by print? How do I switch it back to the 8x10 paper tray when needed? Is there a page in the manual I can refer to? Thanks for any assistance.

C3180 Printing on narrow paper

I was just about to post that I couldn't get the printer to print address labels correctly on a 4.25 x 11" sheet. But now I got it to work by entering a custom paper size in the "Resizing options" in the printer setup.
But this is a pain. So every time I want to print on a different paper size I have to set the exact paper size in the printer setup, in addition to setting up the page in Microsoft Word (or whatever program)? I suppose this would be true for envelopes too. With my previous (HP) printer it was automatic: if the paper size I loaded in the printer matched my document, I was all set -- the printer would just detect the paper size and work.
I had to set the paper size in the "Resizing options" when in reality I'm not resizing anything. Am I missing something here? Is this really what I should have to do? It would seem the resizing options should be for when you really want to print to a size that is different than the actual document. But without using the resizing option I got an error from the printer saying the paper size is incorrect and the "check paper" light would blink. After pressing the cancel button on the printer the document would proceed to print, but with only the left side of the document printing on the right side of the page. If instead I loaded 8.5 x 11" paper it would print my narrow document right down the middle of the page instead of being aligned on the left.
Note that in the resizing options the "Print at actual size" radio button is selected -- not the scaling option. There is no "Automatic" option for the resizing options. Also I installed the latest driver.

This is how I have already created them.
In the printer driver settings set:
colour settings option: print in Greyscale not in colour mode
Greyscale option is not available, but I can just print in black, which does not cover enough.
paper or media settings option choose: Transparency
There is no option for Transparency paper

Brother Printer CUPS Driver conflict crashed host application

I just bought a Brother MFC-J4710DW multifunction printer but whenever I select Printer Options from the pop-up menu of the print dialogue box, the application I am printing from crashes leaving an error message saying the following (TextEdit is only an example).
TextEdit quit unexpectedly while using the BRInkQuality12 plug-in.
Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple.
Basically, this means that I have no control over the print quality, which paper is used or which paper tray is selected.
BRInkQuality12 is the Brother CUPS driver and I found virtually nothing about it online, let alone any problems with it. I have spent some time with Brother technical support who basically said that they have not seen this problem before and as a result, I started doing my own troubleshooting.
It seems to be a problem with my user account as I have tried other accounts and it works fine. Permanently using a new user account isn't really an option I want to think about so I set about trying to track down whatever it is that ic causing the crash.
So far, I have repaired permissions, booted in safe mode without success. I then went through everything in my user account library and have eliminated everything systematically - rebooting dozens of times with groups of items removed and then replaced when the problem remained.
In the olden days, I would have been using Conflict Catcher to identify the problem but there doesn't seem to be anything like CC for OS X.
I would be very grateful if anybody has any suggestions on how to determine what is causing this or if anybody else has experienced it.

Thanks.

How to print filed value in vertical direction

I have some requirement to print the field value in vertical direction.How can I do that.

Hi,
you cannot rotate a field. But you can reference the field in a boilerplate text with &myfield_name and rotate the boilerplate. The value of the field inside the boilerplate is not shown, if you try the hide the field with a format trigger (as you normally don't want to show vertically and horizontally. Because of that, color your field white. So it's there, but not seen.

Brother Printer won't duplex print A4

Hi
I have a Brother laser printer HL-5150D printing from a 20" iMac using OSX 10.5.4 that has stopped printing duplex but apparently only when trying to print to A4 paper size. As A4 is my default size this is a problem for me.
If I set the paper size as US Letter in the print dialogue box the printer will duplex however the print area is reduced by about 15 - 20% which even when printing on actual A4 paper leaves a very large 3 - 4 cm empty border around the print area.
Any body have any ideas on how to get duplex printing on to A4 paper size without going through the US Letter route and ending up with a reduced size print image?

[IMG]http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb26/mgw11/Picture1-2.png[/IMG]
I just took a picture of my print layout, this should help - I hope.
This is the set-up under Leopard, which I now realize you are not running - in Tiger, under Pages etc. go to the bottom where it says Summary,open that, then click on the triangle next to Layout, and it will give you the option of two sided printing.
