Can't center 4x6 photos

I have tried what seems like everything, but still can't get a 4x6 photo to print properly in PSE9 with HP Photosmart 7510 printer. Have installed latest drivers, tried border and borderless, tried 4x6 and 4x6 tab paper selections. Three sides have a normal border, but 1 side has a larger border. I have no problem when printing 5x7 photos. Borders are perfect.

I cannot print photos. I have 4x6 Kodak Ultra Premium paper. I have a new HP Photosmart C5280 printer with a photo tray. The tray seems only accessible from a camera memory card and my photos are on my computer. In Adobe or the HP Photo programs the same menu comes up and I have gone through all the choices. None will print. Error message keeps repeating "wrong paper size."

HT4505 can you scan 4x6 photos using Image Capture that will actually scan as a 4x6 photo. I have to crop the photo once it is scanned

Can you scan multiple 4x6 photos using image Capture that will actually scan as a 4x6 photo? I seem to have to crop each photo once it is scanned.

How long is a string?
The answer depends on a large number of variables
Cropping removes the area cropped off so the pixel size of a cropped photos is smaller than an upcropped one
With iPhoto you can always revert ot the original so if the new quality is not enough for your use you can go back to the uncropped original
size - many meanings
DPI - simple - Dots Per Inch - the number of dots (pixels) in a dimension divided by the number of inches of the display(print) - very simple math
Pixels and dots are the same for this discussion
so if a photo is shot in a 3:2 ratio (6x4 is also a 3:2 ratio) then the photo is the shape of a 4x6 photo with no cropping - is a photo shot in a 4:3 ratio is cropped to a 4:6 ratio (which is also a 3:2 ratio) then some information is going to be removed - assuming that you set the cropping frame as large as possible in one direction and only crop two sides then you lose the minimum amount of information
Most iPhoto uses of photos are designed aroung 4:3 photos so in general I would only recommend cropping 4:3 photos if you want to print them in standard print sizes
iPhoto slide shows will work best with 4:3 photos so cropping to 4:6 would be a mistake

Off center 4x6 photos

Is it my printer or something else? Printing 4x6 photos with an HP L7590 AIO from iPhoto and the right margin or the top margin is but a sliver depending on whether it's horizontal or vertical. Contacted Hp support and their suggestion was to use HP Photosmart Studio for printing. The margins are more equal with that option but it's a bit more time consuming than printing directly from iPhoto. There must be a setting somewhere for the margins. I thought that maybe by constraining the image to 4x6 would be the answer but the photos still come out off center. Even when printing borderless there is a narrow white margin on one side even with 5x7s. Haven't tried printing a 5x7 without checking borderless so I don't know what the results would be.
I would like to begin with solving the non-centered 4x6 photo printing first.

Thank you LN for your suggestions.
I deleted the .plist file, reset the personal preferences and printed a horizontal 4x6 photo that was previously constrained to 4x6 in iPhoto.
Unfortunately, the top margin on the horizontal print is about 1/16" and the bottom one is 3/16".
The left margin is almost 5/16" and the right side is closer to 1/2".
The paper is 4x6 hp advanced glossy Q7906A and the measurements above are after removing the tear off tab.
The iPhoto library has never been moved from its original location.

HELP Can't print 4x6 photos

I have been trying off an on since December 05 to print 4x6 boardless photos from iPhoto with no success. I set it up and when it start to prints my printer tells me that I have the wrong size paper. I don't want to use 8x10 photo paper I want to use 4X6 paper. I have read and reread the instructions but I must be missing something. Can anyone help me please. The printer I use is hp 3310 just got it was using a hp 8150

First of all thank you for responding. I tried your suggestion as best I could. I forgot I had 8x10 copy paper in tray and that is what my picture printer on. Next put in photo paper 4x6 in photo tray and machine still said out of paper load more. I even tried to put 4x6 photo paper in main paper tray would not take it. I didn't have any success with the 8150 either.

Yes or No: Can I print 4x6 photos without them being cropped by HP?

Many posts complaining of the same -
HP all-in-ones are cropping 2-3mm on all edges in order to fit 4x6 photo paper.
Simple question:
Yes or No. Is there a solution or setting to fix this?
I'm not looking for workaround such as printing my photos on 8.5x11 and then trimming them myself.
That's just lame.
HP! Are there any plans to fix this design flaw?
Thank you.

Yes.

Photosmart 8750 4x6 photo printing skewed

I am using a Photosmart 8750 on a home network with 4 computers, one with XP-Pro SP3, one with XP-Home SP3, one with Win98-SE, and I've just done a clean install on the 4th machine of Vista-Ultimate 64-bit SP-1. The three older machines can print a 4x6 photo on 4x6 paper flawlessly, with or without borders. The new Vista machine prints with no border at the top and 1/2-inch border down the right side. The bottom and left borders look to be about 1/8-inch. If I switch to "borderless 4x6" The same thing happens--a 1/2-inch border on the right, the top of the photo is cut off, and a small border on the left and bottom. The application I'm using on the Vista machine is the Windows Photo Gallery, but I have the same problem if I print from Photoshop elements.
This can't be caused by the media or the printer since three machines can print perfectly using the same photo file on the same printer. I have tried every setting in Printer Preferences to no avail. I noticed someone else with a different model printer had the same problem but didn't say what OS was running. Has anyone else had this problem and come up with a reliable fix?
Letters on 8.5x11 in Word or Excel print perfectly.

Still having the same issues (messed up 4x6 printing and bottom line cut off of text) and add another one. Today I attempted to print an 8x10 photo from Photoshop Elements v6.0 and got the message "program has stopped responding." After several attempts I decided to try printing from Windows "Photo Gallery" but nothing happens. The printer makes a noise as if it is about to print but then nothing happens.
I can print over my network to my older Laser Jet printer and I can go to another computer running XP-Pro with SP3 and print beautifully on the Photosmart 8750, but from 64-bit Vista, nothing happens when attempting to print an 8x10 on 8.5x11 photo paper. I've tried loading drivers for a different model printer but that was unsuccessful. Anyone have a solution to these problems?

Why do 4x6 photos not print from computer on 7520 HP printer

In settings I changed it to 4x6 photo paper and set it at that default. Then when I want to print from the 4x6 tray it tells me the tray is empty meaning the 8x11 tray is empty, which should be empty. It should switch to the 4x6 tray but it does not do that so therefore I can not print 4x6 photos. What else can I do? Am I missing something?

I found the answer to my own problem. Leave the paper in the bottom tray as well when one puts photo paper in the 4x6 tray. That is the reason it tells me my tray is empty when in fact the bottom 8x11 tray should have paper in it as well. Only the Settings need to be changed for 4x6 photo paper and then change it back to the 8x11 to letter paper.

Will my OfficeJet Pro 8500A premium print "boarder less" 4x6 photos?

No matter what photo software I use, I can only print 4x6 photos with a boarder. Is there a setting on the printer I can change?

Can you have two horizontal 4x6 photos positioned top and bottom?

This doesn't seem to be a layout choice, and I have been merging two images into one through photoshop and importing it as one image, but this is extremely tedious and time consuming. Is there any way to add a layout option to have the two photos stacked vertically? If not, can you create a custom layout in aperture and import it into iphoto? It really just doesn't make sense that this layout is not a choice b/c it is the layout that results in maximal use of the page for 2 4x6's. Putting them horizontally next to each other is a waste of page space.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The only way you can do what you want is to use a 3rd party editor that handles layers. Photoshop Elements, Pixelator are two that can do what you want. Create an 8.5 x 11 canvas at the same resolution as your photos and then open and place the two croppped 4x6 photos on the canvas where you want and print.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Using C4795 printer for 4X6 photo printing. Prints not registered, can start randomly on page, skip

C4795, printing 4X6 photos with new iMAC and iPhoto software. Downloaded latest drivers. Printing starts randomly on page,
sometimes skipping half a page, sometimes just a sliver. Prints are OK with my other 8150 printer, but not 4795. Any ideas?
Thanks, John

Hi John.
Perhaps it's a printer configuration problem (maybe the paper size is set to a different value than what's in the printer), but you may want to try printing with HP Photo Creations as a test. The program is a free download from www.hp.com/go/hppc, and can load photos from your iPhoto library.
Here's a quick tutorial on printing 4x6 photos with HP Photo Creations:

When I try to print a 4X6 photo using Elements 12 it prints out 2X3. Does anyone know how you can get hold a live person at Adobe?

When attempting to print a 4X6 photo using Elements 12 it prints out 2X3. Does anyone know how you can get hold of a live person at Adobe?

I've never done a forum and am not exactly sure what to do from here.   I
know how to do a screen shot on my phone, but not on my computer.
I'm about ready to throw every adobe product I have out the window!   If
you purchase a product you should be able to get support from the company.

JimHess~ Many thanks. In my short history with LR, it's amazing how many people I've seen ask this question. I'm nearly embarrassed at how simple the fix was, but grateful that you didn't dismiss such a basic question. You made my week. And my friend's photo album...
