C won't print 5 x 7 pictures

I am trying to print 5 x 7 pictures, but instead of getting the 5 x 7 the pictures are coming out on the paper on the right side and are the size of a postage stamp. Does anyone have a solution?

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
It might be just a setting -- or combination of settings that is making the photo "tiny".
I hate to even try on this one. I have not even seen XP for a long time and I don't know how the Printer software responds on this version of Windows.
The following might apply to some extent although WHERE you find and adjust the settings in XP might be enough different that it is just confusing to you.
Windows Photo Viewer has been around forever -- and is probably in XP and some form of the Printing Preferences should be available to help set paper size and such.
I hope this helps.
Print Photos – Three Methods: Photos Creations, Windows Photo Viewer, Word
By itself:
Printing Preferences – Windows and Mac
If nothing works -- and that takes into account that you might have to look up where to find your Printing Preferences and maybe look up how to find other settings ... I mean to say, if nothing works, then you might consider reinstalling the printer software.

My HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One printer won´t print out documents, just pictures ...

My HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One printer won´t print out documents, just pictures. I´ve used the printer, since it was new on the marked, and it has worked perfectly until a few weeks back. There is no problem printing out pictures, but only blank pages comes out when I´m printing out documents. Regardless if it is Word, Excel etc.
I´ve never used anything else than original cartridges, and the printer is used on Mac OS X 10.7.4. I´ve tried to reinstall the printer several times without any success.
Can anyone help me?

Won't print correct size of pictures

My computer runs Vista and I recently installed a HP 1510 series printer. It prints regular documents fine, but when I try to print 4x6 pictures it will not print the full size. I am given only one option in print job (Windows Photo Gallery is default software) full page. I have tried selecting and de-selecting "fit frame" and it made not difference. I have reset the printer a few times and checked to be sure all drivers were up-to-date. I just want to click on the picture and have it print the right size! Any help would be appreciated.

MaryLiz,
You do have to have the Full Feature Software installed for your printer for this to all work properly:
Install Full Feature Software - Printer
If you have the printer software installed, it is probably OK.
===========================================================================
If you select paper size 4X6, then you cannot also select the other options shown in that last column. These are mutually exclusive. The options that are available change according to the kind of paper you select.
Are you using 4X6 paper in the printer?
The printing preferences are something you have to set up the way you like -- and then change them when you change the paper, change the "thing" you are printing, change your mind about what you want...
You can click on a photo and have it automatically print a 4X6 photo if you have a printer with a photo-tray in it with photo paper loaded and ready to go. You would still have to change the printing preferences if you wanted to change the setup for any reason at all.
I think I might be missing the point entirely. My apologies for the Sloth-Brain. Smiling.

HP 4500 Envy won't Queue Text Documents of Any Kind (but prints test pages and pictures)

I have a brand new HP 4500 Envy that was working fine for a few weeks and now won't print text documents of any kind - .txt, .doc, .pdf, you name it. I can print pictures and test pages but that's it. I've already tried the HP Print Doctor, updating the drivers and the like, but none of these solutions work. I need to get this up and running quickly - any suggestions? --- Thanks

I have the same problem.
I think that it should be related with Windows 7 SP1.
I installed on 2 different laptops, one with Windows 7 and one with Windows 8 and there I can print all kind of type documents.
But on my HP 1120 can I not print any document, only jpeg and scan works.
And here I have Windows 7 SP.

Word won't print pictures

Since putting in Snow Leopard, it won't print (MS Word problem?) pictures in a document. Type, type boxes, headings, etc all print fine, but a picture within the document won't print.
I'm experimenting with Word to write a book after not getting the quality I'd like from Pages.
Every thing is up to date.
Thank you.

Photosmart Premium C309a won't print pictures in a document

I've had this printer for some time and it has been working O.K. but recently it has stopped printing pictures that are in a document I have created. I have uninstalled and reinstalled twice and that has been no help. It won't even print pictures from My Pictures files. This issue is about a family history book I have written and need to print several copies. I am really frustrated. Can anyone help?

No I was not able to print from Paint. I decided this morning to do yet another uninstall/reinstall but this time I did it from a download off the internet instead of the CD I have. It now prints pictures from "My Pictures" file - at least it did when they had me do a sample. But it still will not print pictures from my MS Word document. I am under a real time crunch to get these books to the binderery so I experimented on printing from a PDF version I have of it. And to my delight it prints correctly from the PDF! Obviously I need to fix the "Word" problem but for now at least I have found a solution to my immediate problem.I will continue to see if it is only this particular document it won't print the pictures from or just what is going on. Thanks for your help.

Won't Print to Kodak 1400 Professional - "Printing" never ends

Hi - Using MacBook Pro 17" and Aperture. OS 10.4.x. Out of box, new Kodak 1400 Professional Printer worked fine, and printed several great pictures. A week later, I was unable to print anything at all. Printer Window shows "PRINTING" and the twirling barber pole thermometer, but it NEVER prints however long I wait and no error message.
I've opened and closed printer, restarted printer and computer, checked that the firmware is up to date, re-set the paper in tray, etc. ALSO, it won't print JPGS from Preview, or apparently anything.
What could have happened?
Fix?

I have no idea if this will help anyone, but it helped me. I had my Kodak 1400 working with no problems for quite a while. I never really printed much, but I did now and then. About two months ago, I ran out of paper and didn't purchase any more for a while. I finally got my two packs (so I could get the third free!) about two weeks ago. I now have two clients who need prints, a total of about 85 8x10s.
So, I setup the printer, installed the driver, and started going about my business. Setup the prints, got it all rolling, and prepared to run the first print through as I've found the first print on a new ribbon is a dud due to dust. Nothing happened. It went to "printing" and stared at me as though it were as dumbfounded I asked it to print as I was that it WASN'T printing.
That was yesterday. Since then, I've removed the driver about a bajillion times. Googled this, FAQ'd that, held my tongue appropriately, used different USB cables, different USB ports, removed the other printer, blahdy blahdy blah. Then, this afternoon while I was somewhere between awake and sleep, it hit me: why not try an older driver. I thought about it, and realized that since the last time I was using the 1400 successfully, I'd reinstalled OSX. What were the odds that when I downloaded the driver the last time, I downloaded the "wrong" driver and got the old one (1.0.2) instead of the NEW correct driver, 2.0.0.
So, I removed the old driver from everywhere I could. Restarted the computer. Installed 1.0.2, cliked print, and felt my heart sink as the red Error light blinked intermittently with the "Media" light. Shot through the heart... then, all of a sudden, it sucked in some paper, and started printing! Problem solved!
So, if you still can't print, try using 1.0.2. It might not work, but if you can't print with 2.0.0, what harm can it do? NONE! Muhahahaha. I feel so adventurous for using an old driver. (yes, this is what now counts as "adventure" for me... now go away or I shall taunt you a second time.)
Hope that works for someone!

PDF's won't print

I have a user who cannot print PDF's to a HP 4520 color laserjet printer. The user can print anything else (docs, spreatsheets, text files, pictures, etc) to the printer, but not PDF's. The user has XP with all the latest upgrades and Acrobat Pro V8. Anyone else can print PDF's to the printer. The user can also print to another printer, just not this one. Acrobat has been uninstalled, the registry cleaned and reinstalled with the latest updates as has the printer. Logging onto the PC as administrator instead of the user has the same results. The print spooler is running. It appears as if Acrobat is not sending the PDF to the print spooler. It makes no difference if the PDF is self created or one generated by someone else, they just won't print. I have been through the trouble shooting sheet presented by Adobe, but no help. The "chat" also has been no help, and was thoroughly discusted with one of the agents when asking for assitance and was just dropped when he asked if there was anything else he could help with and I told him he had not given me any information that would help. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Maybe the file name assigned to a pdf is not compatible with your printer's memory. Example, if the file name includes brackets [ ] { } or other punctuation, or is very long, the printer won't recognize it. One print job that stalls will hold up the entire print queue, so delete your job from the queue.
First, look at the file name displayed in the print server's list of print jobs. The same file name also appears in the top blue bar of your Acrobat pdf display. Are there brackets, per cent signs, or other punctuation marks in the file name?
This file name works:
ti50000
These would not work:
ti50000[1] because of the brackets
sarif00099659%47%000%%000%0000 because of the length and the percent signs
You can rename the file by saving the pdf to your desktop. Click on the Acrobat toolbar icon for Save (a picture of a floppy ) and rename the file. You can use any name - the author's last name, for example - as long as you don't include punctuation or too many characters. Now send this file to the printer.

My New Printer Won't Print in Black

So my dad just bought me this all in one printer for Christmas. It appears to print in color fine, but it won't print anything in black. And when I check to see if the black ink on the printer is full, it says it is almost all the way full. It will print black and white pictures, but no documents that I type on. If i try to print a page from the internet, it won't print if i say print in black and white. If i print in color it prints okay but the words have a red or pink tint to them, like the black color ink isn't being used. Someone please help.

Printer won't print problem

We purchased an HP Photosmart Plus B209a-m last December. We have an HP Pavilion 513c with Microscoft Windows XP home edition version 2002.
At first the printer worked quite well. But for the last few months we have had an intermittent problem where it won’t print.
When the printer is working as it should, after we hit the print icon, a small window comes up telling us the ink levels and asking if we want to cancel – then it prints the document. But sometimes we hit the print icon and the little window comes up and says it can’t tell the ink levels, and the printer doesn’t print. If I turn the printer on and off, sometimes it will work again, and sometimes it won’t. Other times, if I unplug the usb cord and plug it back in, it will start working again. Anyway, we eventually get the printer working again – but the problem isn’t fixed – in a day or two it will happen again, and this gets quite frustrating.
So far I haven’t been able to figure out what may be causing the problem. Sometimes the printer prints, and sometimes it doesn’t.
I went to the HP website to see if there were driver updates. The website says there were, but for some reason I couldn’t download them.

I successfully downloaded the updated driver. Was hoping that would eliminate the problem, but it hasn't, and I have continued to try to figure out why!!! Although the printer works fine for most everything else, it will frequently jump off-line (although the control panel will not say it is off-line) when I try to pull up and print a picture from my camera's memory card (using the HP Photo Impressions).
The only things I can say for sure:
1) It is intermittent, and very frustrating at how often it does happen.
2) To fix the problem when it happens, sometimes just turning the printer off for 10 seconds, and then back on, will fix the problem. Other times it won't and I will also have to disconnect the connection to the computer, and then re-connect them.
3) There appears to be some connection with the connection to my camera's memory card.
4) There appears to be some connection with Photo Impressions - see additional comments on this below.
At times, when trying to pull up a picture with Photo Impressions I will get this message (it is important to note that the picture could be attached to an e-mail, on the hard drive, or the camera memory card):
"Windows - no disk
Exception Processing Message c0000013 parameters 75b6b17c 4 7566bf7c 75b6bf7c"
along with a "cancel" button, a "try again" button, and a "continue" button. None of the buttons will work with just one click. The computer appears to be locked up. However, if you click on one of the button about 20 to 30 times very quickly, the picture will then open. At that point, sometimes it will print and sometimes it will not print. However, if I turn off the printer, the picture will then open as normal.
We are not that computer savvy as far as the technical stuff goes, but we have both used computers for several years, and have never had a problem like this one. Please help!!

Macbook Pro won't print the first page of any file in any application.

Problem: My Mid-2009 Macbook Pro won’t print the first page in Microsoft Word, Sibelius 6, or in Adobe Reader. My printer is an old Canon MP480 that’s worked for almost 2 years perfectly. As well, the “print to pdf” function results in the same error. However, if I open a new user account it all works fine. To change user accounts would be an extreme hassle though so, if possible, I would like to first remedy this one.
Recent changes: the motherboard of my computer was replaced about a week and a half ago. I printed a lot of stuff from Word two days ago and that worked fine but, already then the print to pdf function was cropping off the first page. At the time, though, I accredited the issue to the word documents being filled with pictures of sheet music that I was printing instead of text.
Things I have tried:
Updated Mac software
Repaired Disc Permissions in Disk Utility
Checked for new printer drivers/firmware
Reset the PRAM (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379.)

No but it's not a printer-related issue because the "Print to PDF" function also leaves out the first page.

Can I make a "contact-sheet" style printed backup of my pictures?

I have over 12,000 photos in my iPhoto library, mostly pictures of my kids. I heard of someone who printed all their pictures from one year in their iPhoto library "contact-sheet" style into a book [I thought an iPhoto book, but I'm not sure], each one with the file name beneath the image, and then burned a cd with all the corresponding images and taped it into the back of the book. That way, whenever they needed an old picture, they'd scan through the printed book, find the picture and its file name, pop in the cd and print the image they wanted. It seems like such an elegant solution (I'd probably print two copies of the book and burn to cds, just to be safe), but the only current theme that can fit more than six pictures per page is the one that won't print captions! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Yes, you can do that.
1 - select the photos you want to print and hit the Print button. I
2 - in the next window click on the Customize button
3 - in the next window click on the Theme button and select Contact Sheet.
3 - click on the Setting button and select the number of columns and what info you want under each photo.
That's about it.
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 and Leopard. 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.

IPhoto won't print

This issue began a more major problem in which all of my wife's pictures disappeared. That's been solved, and the pictures are back. In order to keep that thread from becoming too long and complicated I'm reposting in this new thread the original problem.
A couple of days ago my wife did the automatic update to iPhoto 6.0.6. Following that it ceased printing on our Epson Stylus CX4200. Other programs print normally; it is only iPhoto that has a problem. I have downloaded all the latest drivers from Epson, but it hasn't helped. My own two computers also won't print from iPhoto, though I haven't updated their drivers.
I just identified that it will print 8.5 x 11 paper, but it won't print 4 x 6 photos.
iMac G4 + PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I didn't get any replies to this problem, but eventually I was able to figure out the fix. I'll post it here in case someone else runs into this problem.
The printer instruction manual (PDF file) explains how to delete the printer drivers and reinstall. It also explains how to delete and reinstall the program that controls the scanning function (that had also quit working). When I got through deleting and reinstalling everything worked again.
Downloading updated drivers from the company that made the printer often fixes this kind of problem, but not in this case. Reinstalling the older drivers that came with the printer did the trick.

Won't print

I have reinstalled iphoto so it would no longer say it would not print due to no themes. Now it doesn't say anything, it just won't print.
I do have themes on my HD, not user. I have looked through the posts but haven't found anything that addresses my problem.
Thanks,
mleamy

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You may have to reinstall iPhoto anyway. Delete the current applicaiton, the themes folder and any file with iPhoto in the file name that resides in the HD/Library/Receipts folder. Reinstall iPhoto from the disk it came on, run the latest update, repair disk permissions, reboot and try again.
Happy New Year

Won't print one color

My HP printer Officejet Pro 8600 won't print Magenta color.. I have replaced two different cartritges but none worked. Yellow, blue and black works fine.. The picture/text would print but just without red tones.
All I get is greenish colors...
What can be done to fix it..??

HP c7180 - Won't print one color[ New ]
12-28-2010 04:50 PM
My C7180 displayed a message that the ink cartridge was out of date and immediately stopped printing which used Mageneta. I replaced the cartridge and it still won't print this color. All other print functions and features are fine. If a photo or print requires red, however, it prints as yellow. Print tests show a small single horizonal line where the mageneta should be. Additionally, I've run the "clean print head" command. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks.
