Can I print to different paper sizes with AirPrint and Safari?

I am the organizer of a trade show coming up.
We are using a web based registration system for attendees.
To print the attendee badges, we simply log in to the site through the net, and print them. I have an HP CP1525nw loaded with 3x5 index cards that will slide into the badge holders.
When printing from the Mac, I simply go to Page Setup, set the paper size and orientation and print.   It works great.
However, we would love to use iPads for our registration staff. Not only are they less expensive, but they are portable, and totally wireless.   We can access the site just fine, and the badges show great on the screen.   The website generates the badges as a .pdf file and they load into the browser.
When printing from the iPad, the badges print HUGE, filling an entire 8.5x11 size page.   With the 3x5 card stock loaded in the paper tray, they still print huge, only showing the portion of the badge on the 3x5 card in the location it would be had there been letter size paper in the tray.
Any ideas?
I've considered formatting another badge for letter size, and having it print only where the 3x5 card would fall... but that is a huge tweak that I think should be unnecessary.
How do I print to different size paper from my iPad?
Thanks for the help in advance.
--Brian

Thanks for the info.
It will let me send the PDF to eprint.... and there are paper size choices.
However, they only offer Letter, Legal and A4.
My printer DOES support 3x5 index cards. But, the option is not listed.
Any other ideas?

Wrong paper size in Mail and Safari

Since I upgraded to Leopard I am having a problem with printing. I have US Letter set in System Preferences and CUPS but Safari and Mail have 4x6 photo paper selected for some reason. I am using an HPC7180 that worked fine with Tiger. This setting must be changed for each print. There must be a way to designate different default settings for each application.

tpetrini,
I went to both Safari and Mail and looked in preferences and neither have a tab that allows you to enter paper size. However, when you go to Print in both you get the print dialog box (in my case I have a Canon IP5200 as my default printer and that is where paper size shows up and my default is set at letter size. Therefore it would lead me to believe that somewhere on your print dialog there should be a place to set default parameters for printing.

Can't print using custom paper size for HP6520

I'm trying to print Hobby Lobby RSVP cards for a wedding. The size is 5.5" X 8.25". My HP6520 keeps giving me an error that the printer has detected a different size of paper and it won't print. I've gone to Custom and set the size to match, but it still won't print. I have the paper in the bottom tray.

Hi @Saltman1,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that you cannot print on a Hobby Lobby RSVP card size is 5.5" X 8.25" with your HP Photosmart 6520 on Windows 8. I am happy to look into this for you!
According to your printer's specifications, this is an unsupported card size for this printer. The supported card sizes are:
Card type
Card size
3 x 5 in Index
76.2 x 127 mm (3 x 5 in)
4 x 6 in Index
101.6 x 152 mm (4 x 6 in)
5 x 8 in Index
127 x 203.2 mm (5 x 8 in)
However, as a workaround, you might be able to assign an alternate driver by going to this post, How to Assign Alternate Print Drivers in Different Versions of Windows, by @Shane_R, and then doing a custom size print by going to this guide, Create Custom Paper Sizes in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac OS X.
Otherwise, I would suggest getting the proper size of paper for this printer as indicated in the chart above.
Hope this information clears things up for you, and have a great day!

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.

Different font sizes in Explorer and Safari

Hi there, before I go completely nuts can someone give me a
hand with figuring out how I can get my plain old body text to
display at the same size in both Explorer and Safari.
I am using a Mac myself, but when entering text at size 1, it
is displaying larger in Explorer (at about the size I want) and
very small in Safari (too small to be easily readable). I have done
some research and thought cascading style sheets might be the way
to go but I have also read that the some text problems occur when
using cascading style sheets.
I haven't bothered with them previously as there hasn't been
that much text to bother with them.
Has anyone got any tips, or has used CSS to fix this problem?
Regards,
Elle V
p.s. if you are using a mac, you can check out what I mean by
viewing www.homestylefinance.com.au/company.html in both browsers.
I would be interested in hearing from a PC user to see if they are
seeing the same thing.

You can define your text sizes in many different ways:
points, pixels, em,
percentages, etc.
I personally use a percentage to define my base font-size in
my style sheet,
and then declare different text sizes in em's for different
selectors. I'd
stay away from points (which it sounds like you're using them
- due to the
fact that cross-browser display varies). I'd also stay away
from pixels,
because IE users can not resize their browser text size.
My personal suggestion would be to use em's to declare your
font sizes. Here
is an example of something you could put in your CSS document
(which you'll
want to start using):
body { font-size: 100%; }
.text1 { font-size: .75em }
HTH, take care.

Different page size between Chrome and Safari

Hi,
as you can see in the following images, Google Chrome shows web pages bigger than Safari (5.1.1) and there is more white space in Safari page margins.
is there any way to change Safari settings to show web pages bigger so I don't have to zoom every time I want to read a page?
thanks for your answers

Your first screenshot isn't showing, but you can set a minimum font size: Safari > Preferences > Advanced > Never use font sizes smaller than...

Crystal Report XI Print report on different paper size (A4/Letter)

Hi,
I have designed report in Crystal XI using paper sieze Letter. Multipler sites are using this application. User in USA are using Letter size paper and User in Euorpe are using A4 size paper. All reports work fine for USA users.
When Eurpoe users print the report on A4 size paper which set in Letter size, the report is truncated from Header or footer. They are printing report from Application and application is set on Citix server.
If Anybody have any idea how to setup Crystal report so it can print on any paper size?
Thanks
Bhagvat

Hi Don,
Please find the below description.
Background: Crystal Report XI is utilized to develop and view reports with data source from Oracle based LIMS application (Vendor: LabWare). The reports are printed using network printer on US Letter paper for users located in North America and on A4 paper for users located in Europe. The report format is US Letter and designed to print on both paper formats i.e. Letter and A4.
Issue: When reports are printed by users in Europe using A4 format paper the printer defaults to US Letter paper (in printer preferences) resulting to data cut off from top and bottom on the printout.
1)      When report layout is select to A4 during developing reports using CR, the printing preferences changes to A4 when printed and vice versa for Letter format. How can we avoid CR to enforce from changing printing preferences?
2)     According to Citrix engineers in the company, the printer drivers installed on Citrix servers have nothing to do with printing preferences and CR defaults to paper size based on report design. What do we tell them about doing different to resolve this issue?
3)    Even though a printer preference of default printer on local desktop is changed to A4, the report gets printed to Letter format result in data cutoff. We have tried this option with several HP printers from few different company locations.
Thanks
Bhagvat

HP Laserjet M401A could not set different paper size and tray on printer properties

Good morning all. I'm experiencing a issue setting custom paper size and tray in this printer properties. I would like to set up three different printers, on the same port, to print directly on a specific tray (without enter the printer properties and select the proper tray and size). I have this printer with the additional third tray. I have set up A4 in tray 1 (bypass), custom size in tray 2 and 3 on the printer. When i enter the printer PROPERTIES i want to set up set custom paper size in tray 2 and 3. No way.The only sizes i can see is 13x8, a4, a5, letter, legal, and so on (there are maybe 7 choices). So i choose NOT SPECIFIED. When i go on printer PREFERENCES, i can set up my custom paper size.But when i choose my custom paper size, the tray 2 and 3 go away and i can only choose bypass or tray 1.If i set up A5 (for example) the tray 2 and 3 re-appear. How is it possible? where i am wrong? Many thanks, any help would be appreciated.Cheers,Luca.

I have done extensive research online and looked for relevant posts in other forums, plus I downloaded a LaserJet 4L service manual. The verdict: A common cause of this no-power problem is a faulty DC controller board, blown fuse(s) on it, or other circuitry glitch. I am sure that the paper tray is inserted correctly.
So I decided to cut my losses (I'm not inclined to pull the printer apart to try to fix it--it's not worth my time) and tossed the printer. It's not cost-effective or time-effective to spend a lot of money or time to resuscitate old hardware, except perhaps as a learning exercise.
I consider this thread now closed.

I'd like to select print paper size with using AxAcroPDFLib method depend on user

I'd like to select print paper size with using AxAcroPDFLib method depend on user
request. Is it possible? in AxAcroPDFLib?
Is there any method to select print paper size in the C# programming.
Or if you know another method, please introduce how to use.
Thank you for your cooperation always.

I am pretty sure that you can only do this from JavaScript or from C/C++ APIs.

Two printers with different paper sizes. How to setup defaults for each?

I have two printers connected to my beloved Mini: Samsung ML-1610 & Epson AccuLaser C1100.
First printer uses American Quarto US Letter paper.
Second one - European A4.
Every time I try to print anything on either of them I receive a message from printer driver that paper size mismatched. Further more either printer will wait until I press buttons on them to "proceed". Which is very annoying to say the least.
How can I setup defaults for every printer in Mac OS Leopard? If I use printer preferences dialog it will setup either size for both printers rather than for each its own.
Please advise.

You cannot do exactly what you want from a user interface perspective. I am not sure if such a thing is possible by making changes to hidden files. I certainly haven't heard of it but it may still be possible.
From what I have seen, the page setup dialog is independent of the print dialog. If you set the 'Format for' to one printer, a then choose a different printer when you print, the previous settings won't apply.
You could see if the printer set to A4 supports automatic conversion of LTR to A4. Then at least it won't ask for attention when you send a LTR page to it. Otherwise I think your only option is to check before you print that you have selected the correct paper size for the printer.
PaHu
That's freaking ridiculous!!!
You've got to be kidding me... right?
Even MacOS 8 could do this.
Like it's horrible for me because I print a lot of photos. So I set my default paper type Format for: Canon MP610 series, Paper Size: US Letter (borderless). But then when I go home and print web pages or text documents on my Apple LaserWriter 16/600 PS, then it still remains set to Format for: Canon MP610 series. The freaking OS knows what printer I'm using; why would it remain formatted for the other printer even though that will cut off the edges of all my prints (since the LaserWriter does not do borderless printing) -- and not even warn me?! I just wasted 30 pages!
I cannot tell you how preposterous it is that a modern OS like Mac OS X cannot even get a simple thing such as printing correct. How could they screw up PRINTING?!

Crystal Report Print report on different paper size (A4/Letter)

I develop the crystal report 2008 with VS.net 2008. The report runs on web.
when I preview or debug with VS on my local computer, the crystal report using A4 (8.3 * 11.7 in), Which is correct.
However, after I deploy the program to the server, and try view and print report through IE, the print out is actually using Letter size (8.5 * 11 in).
Both on my local computer and the server, the default printer is set to A4 size. And on the crystal report, in the printer setup, the paper size is A4 as well.
I try on firefox, and safari. No luck. Same as IE.
The crystal report need to print barcode, and the paper size must be A4, cuz the barcode page is designed and printed on A4 Avery Laser Barcode sheet.
I tried on my PC by using remote server data souce, the printing works perfectly in A4 size (8.3"*11.7").
And I don't know why same program after deploy to the server, then it using Letter size (8.5" * 11"), which the size I never set to.
So strange.
Thanks

A few ideas \ suggestions:
1) Make sure you are using FP 3.3 runtime:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100016807202010E/cr2008fp33_redist.zip
2) Try a simple win app - use saved data report (crystalreportviewer1.reportsource = <path to saved data report>). Does this print correctly?
3) What print mode are you using; PDF or ActiveX?
4) Try export to RPT and PDF from your web app. Does it export correctly?

Custom paper size with HP Officejet 7500A Wide Format e-All-in-One Printer

I am wanting to print on a paper size 12x18. I do not find a "Custom" paper size on my printer HP Officejet 7500A Wide Format e-All-in-One Printer. Is there another driver which I can download which would allow me to enter custom paper sizes?

Not able to print to custom 4x6 paper size with Pages 5

I'm having a lot of trouble printing to a custom 4" x 6" paper size with pages 5. I create my custom size, switch the page setup to use that size in landscape orientation, and everything looks fine. Then when I go to print the document the destination paper size is set to "Suggested Paper: US Letter" instead of "Custom" as it used to be. If I do print on US Letter paper then its properly lined up at the top left corner, but if I print on 4x6 it is all cut off. I've tried scaling it to fit on my 4x6 size in the destination paper size menu, but that just shrinks the whole thing to fit in the center of the 4x6 in portrait orientation.
I am able to do this fine in pages '09, however I've already converted over 40 recipe cards to work with pages 5 and they don't export back to pages '09 properly.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to get this to work I would really appreciate them!

Photosmart C410: How do I associate a custom paper size with the photo tray?

Our Photosmart 3310 recently broke down and I purchased a C410 to replace it. I sell a small item online that I ship in 3 5/8 x 6 1/2 envelopes. With the 3310, I had figured out a way to print the envelopes from the photo tray. While Word 2007 allows me to select the photo tray, the printer would not print from there until I created a custom paper size in the printer preferences dialog box.
One of the reasons I got the C410 was for the photo tray. It's a real pain to have to swap out the regular paper and stick in one evelope every time I want to print another envelope. Well, unfortunately, that's what I've been doing. I select the photo tray in Word, but the printer goes right ahead and prints from the main tray. I had forgotten what I did to make it work on the 3310, so I experimented with that printer's drivers until I figured it out.
My problem is that the software interface for the C410 is different than that for the 3310. I can't figure out how to associate a custom paper size with the photo tray. To test my theory this evening, I told Word that my envelope size was 5 x 7. The printer didn't hesitate to take an envelope from the photo tray. Of course the return address went into a dark void because the envelope is not 5 x 7.
The difference between the two interfaces is that the 3310 has both printing shortcuts as well as "Print Task Quick Sets." The C410 only has printing shortcuts.
If anyone can help me, I'll be very grateful! I've probably spent hours trying to get this figured out, and I have no idea what to do.

Hi,
Which Microsoft product (application) are you using ? Printer supports the following custom sizes:
From ADF: Custom-sized media (ADF) between 127 to 216 mm wide and 241 to 305 mm long (5 to 8.5 inches wide and 9.5 to 12 inches long)
From input tray: Custom-sized media between 76.2 to 216 mm wide and 101 to 762 mm long (3 to 8.5 inches wide and 4 to 30 inches long)
You need to select right custom size from the application.
Regards.
