Can't change tray/paper size when printing photos

I'm using an HP Photosmart C5200 and I want to print onto 4x6 photo paper, but I can't seem to change from the default tray with 8.5x11 paper. I've played around in the print dialogue box and File>Page Setup but to no avail.

Not sure if this is the same problem I'm having. I have a HP C5180, and when I go to print I get all the necessary options (by dropping down the traingle as advised above), and all's great..... apart from the Source tray is always set to Main Tray instead of the Photo.
I can change it each time I print, but it won't stay defaulted to Photo Tray even when I save or 'Save as' a new Preset. I have tried to overwrite the default ones, but no go, and also saved as a new Preset, but it still doesn't come up as the default selection next time I go in to print.
Sounds easy enough to cope with I know, but I've set it up for a 84 year old to print from and I don't expect she'll manage to do this change every time.

  • I am unable to select the correct paper size when printing photo's in iPhoto 11. When I select the paper size in the custom window for 4x6 prints the prints only appear on an 8 1/2x11 page. My Mac is a year old iMac running 10.8.2.

    I am unable to print 4x6 photo's using iPhoto 11. When I do they only print out on lettter size paper even though I enter 4x6 in the custom window in the print size menu. My older Snow Leopard system using iPhoto 9 the paper size window offered a 4x6 paper size which worked well.

    Selecting paper size in the first sreen tellis iPhoto what papery you are going to use - it does not tell the printer what paper to use - printer specific options on on the last (second or third if you customize the print) screen where you tell the print any specifics like paper source (typically printers need to you tell them where a specific paper is loaded - they do not really know the sizes in each paper tray)

  • Change paper size when printing

    How to change paper size when printing pdf? No option for paper size appear.

    That is a feature of AirPrint. If you do a Google search on "AirPrint paper size" you'll find documentation from major printer manufacturers. For example, this is copied from some HP documentation:
    What paper and media sizes are supported? 
    With AirPrint, paper and photo media sizes are automatically selected depending on the application you are using on your Apple device, your HP ePrint printer, and the region in which you are using AirPrint. You do not have the option to select different paper sizes.
    For example, from Apple’s Photo application, if the HP ePrint printer has a separate photo paper tray, AirPrint uses 4 x 6 inch photo media as the default paper size. If the printer does not have a separate photo paper tray, AirPrint uses letter-size paper. If you are printing from Apple’s Safaribrowser, letter-size paper is the default paper size in the US region, and A4 is the default paper size in Europe.
    AirPrint supports the following paper and media sizes:
    Letter
    Legal
    A4
    4 x 6 in photo paper
    A6 photo paper

  • I can't change copy paper size in HP M125a

    Hi all,

  • Paper jam when printing photo from Microsoft Photo Editor

    On my C7280, I want to print a photo from Microsoft Photo Editor onto plain 8.5x11 paper. This always produces a paper jam. If I copy/paste the photo into, say, Word, and print from Word, the document prints properly.
    This is not a "false paper jam" - the printer attempts to feed the paper, and jams (and creases) the paper in the attempt.
    In Photo Editor, I explicitly chose "plain paper" and "main tray", rather than automatic settings.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Hello @Lonewolf777 ,
    Welcome to the HP forums.
    I understand that you are getting paper jams when printing from your Android device.
    I would like to help.
    Have you tried to print using the HP ePrint app?
    Also, if you are having problems using the in OS print system, install the HP Print Service Plug in.
    It acts like a print driver for your phone.
    If it is already installed, try the old, uninstall and reinstall trick.
    Alternately, you can call the folks over at the HP Cloud Services department.
    Please call our Cloud Services at 855-785-2777.

  • Can anyone help with printer options on iPad mini, can I change layout paper size?

    I am trying to change the printer options on my iPad mini so that I can print on legal size paper,  I also would like to change to portrait layout.  Is this an option when printing from an iPad Mini?

    Chad-
    I think the same problem exists with all the iOS devices.  I suggest you look for a free App from the manufacturer of your printer.  It will have limitations, but may include the ability to change paper size and image size and orientation.
    There are other printing Apps such as Print n Share that can do that, but they are not free.
    The problem you may face, is that such printing Apps can only be accessed from within other Apps that have the "Open In" option.  If you can use their built-in programs, they may meet your needs.

  • Can't change my paper settings to print from Photoshop cs4 printer Epson

    I've been trying for hours/days to get my printer to print a custom paper size for greetings cards to my Epson printer via the rear feed. I know it can be done because a friend helped me with it in the past but the setting did not save and they cant remember how they did it. I've been looking on forums and help on the internet but the settings people are saying to use are not available on my Photoshop.

    I'm not using CS4 or an Epson (Canon and CS6), but is there a Print Settings option in which you can set a custom size?

  • How to set the paper size when printing to postscript...

    I need help in setting the paper size in the PrintPreference when using either the Postcript File or Adobe PDF printer to generate ps files.
    Here's what I am doing (in c++) and I seem to be getting only 8.5x11 no matter the document page size:
    LPDISPATCH p_Dispatch = Document.DocumentPreferences();
    p_Dispatch = Document.DocumentPreferences();
    if(p_Dispatch)
    DocPreference docPreference(p_Dispatch);
    pgOrientation = (idPrintPageOrientation)docPreference.get_PageOrientation();
    pageW = docPreference.get_PageWidth();
    pageH = docPreference.get_PageHeight();
    paperSize = docPreference.get_PageSize();
    docPreference.ReleaseDispatch();
    p_Dispatch = Document.PrintPreferences();
    if (p_Dispatch)
    { PrintPreference printPreference(p_Dispatch)printPreference.SetPrinter(idPostscriptFile);
    printPreference.PrintFile(outfile);
    printPreference.SetPaperSize(paperSize ); /*I have also tried idCustom but it crashes with invalid parameter for the object type.*/
    printPreference.SetPaperWidth(pageW);
    printPreference.SetPaperHeight(pageH);
    VARIANT vprinterPresetType;
    vprinterPresetType.vt = VT_I4;
    vprinterPresetType.lVal = CInDesignApplication::idCustom;
    Document.PrintOut(FALSE, vprinterPresetType);....
    So how do i pas the document paper size to the print preset or preference?
    I appreciate your input.

  • Can't access other paper sizes in printing CS 5.1

    I am unable to access "print settings" in CS5.1. Won't offer anything but 8-1/2 x 11 no matter what the default.

    Hi mvang0001
    The simple thumb rule for vpn is, what ever you need to access to remote party network and what ever remote party need to access in your network should be defined in the interesting traffic on the tunnel.
    plus in order to reach to that network inside your company, you should have appropriate route in place on vpn device you are forming tunnel to the remote party.
    please confirm that what networks you are not able to access is configured in both side vpn interesting traffic? - at your side, you can see config. but you have to get copy of this config. from remote party network/security admin.
    please let us know that.
    Thanks

  • I cannot select the Paper Size when I try to print with HP Photosmart B110a with Windows 8.1 64bit

    I cannot select the Paper Size when I try to print with HP Photosmart B110a
    The same printer was working OK with my old PC with OS Windows 7
    However I got a new PC with OS Windows 8.1 64bit
    I installed the new driver for HP Photosmart B110a that I dowloaded from HP site. Driver forWindows 8.1 64bit.
    In addition to not being able to chose the paper size, also when I go to Printer Properties in Options, all the characters are non-ascii.
    Do you know what may be the problem?
    Thank you

    Hello Nanu64,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having some issues when attempting to print from your computer.
    I also see that you stated that not all the options are available in the printing preferences options.  This could be because the installation was not complete or it failed.
    I suggest that we do a complete uninstall/ reinstall as well as some additional steps.
    First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    If you have the printer connected to the computer with a usb cable, please remove the cable from both ends and leave it disconnected until further notice.
    The next link that I have for you will give you detailed instructions for Uninstalling the Printer Software.  Once the uninstall is complete, reboot the computer so that the changes take affect.
    When the computer is back up and running, please disable any firewalls or anti virus protection you may have running. We don't want anything getting in the way of the reinstall.
    The following download is the HP Photosmart Full Feature Software and Drivers.  Save this download to the desktop of the computer so that it creates its own icon.  This will make it easy for us to find when the download is complete.
    Double click the new icon and follow the installation instructions.  The installation will give you connection options (Wireless , usb or Ethernet), if connecting usb, please wait for the prompt to connect the cable.  Connecting the usb cable before hand can cause an issue with the installation.
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
    Thanks for your time.

  • How do I change the default paper size for printing?

    I am running Firefox 3.6.3. Recently, the default paper size for printing unexpectedly changed to a user-defined size of 3.00" x 4.57". It used to be letter size (8.5 x 11). The default paper size is 8.5 x 11 for everything else. I have tried changing the size in the preferences dialog box and then clicking "default", but after I close Firefox or if Firefox opens a new window, the default size switches back to 3.00" x 4.57". Does anyone know how to fix this?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == About 2 weeks ago

    In "mine" dutch firefox 3.6.12 there is no option to change paper-size see
    "about:config" Promise to be careful (and be!) Enter "print.postscript.paper_size" gives a empty screen
    "paper_size" gives a few results
    What about the numbers 4259872, 4784247 and what is the meaning of
    paper_size, paper_size_type , paper_size_unit

  • How do I set "US letter" as my default paper size when I open a document?

    I'm using Adobe Reader 9.5.5 and Mac OS 10.7.5.
    Every time I open a PDF that's been emailed to me, Reader thinks it's US legal size, 11" x 14". Printing the document becomes a mess, unless I first remember to go File > Page setup > Paper size > US letter.
    I'd like to be able to set US letter as my default paper size when I open a document. Can anyone tell me how to do that?
    Thanks in advance,

    I am replying to my own question. I learned that if you right click when trying to open a PDF, you are asked which app you wish to use to open the file. If you click on Get Info, instead of choosing an app, you get this great information box which gives you the option to set Adobe Reader as your default app for PDF files. It even allows you to change all the pdf files you already have to Adobe Files. Yay.
