Can't Get Orientation Right Printing 4x6 Photo

I recently tried to print a photo from my HP digital camera using iPhoto to 4x6 photo paper on an Epson C88+ printer. The paper had to be inserted in the printer vertically, so the picture needed to be printed using landscape orientation. I cropped the photo to fit the paper and chose landscape orientation in the print dialog box, but iPhoto's preview box in its print dialog box showed the print using portrait orientation. I had to open the photo in Photoshop Elements 2 to print it correctly. How could I get similar photos to print correctly in iPhoto?
Thanks,
Emily

Emily:
Did you set the orientation to landscape in the Printer Setup window before going to the Print window? Set you printer and then the orientation. In the print window again set the printer, paper to 4x6 (borderless if that's what you want), Style to Standard Prints and size to 4x6 one photo per page. That should do it.
Do you Twango?

Thanks for the question. It sounds like most of your music was purchased from the iTunes Store. If your country supports iTunes in the Cloud, you can download your past purchases using this article:

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...

Printing 4x6 photos on HP Laserjet 4630. photo paper tray not working?

I am trying to print 4x6 photos on glossy paper. My printer has a photo paper tray in addition to a standard letter tray. When I specify 4x6 borderless glossy paper in the print parameters, the printer keeps pulling from the standard paper tray instead of the photo tray on top of the printer. This has worked for me in the past, but I haven't used it in a long time. What must I be doing wrong?

Hey. I'm a photographer with the C4280.
This printer takes care of 8.5 x 11's pretty much perfectly. But 4 x 6 not for me on iPhoto or Photoshop.
So what I did was I set up a pages document with a blank template, set at 4 x 6 inches.
I dragged rulers about .25inches in and threw in the photo set at 4 x 6 ratio. So... most photos are 4 x 6, just resize it to fit in the rulers.
I've noticed in most occasions it cuts off the top of the photo document when laid out in portrait.
What I do is a hit command p, select the printer but choose under the drop box that says "layout" i hit borderless printing, and a selectable box will show up saying "print borderless" and i just clicked it.
on the document though you might want to make the opacity 10% to save ink. you have to trouble shoot the exact place to set and drag up or down the photo. but once you get it, its reliable the duration the document is open and the printer is on.
i know its kind of pointless for one, but i had a shoot with live printing on the spot with this printer and its great. you can add texts boxes and put those perfectly where you want (once you set the picture so its set) and throw in another picture and really customize the 4 x 6.
i printed a postcard with the writing already in it. just had to mail it no writing involved.
you also need iwork 08 or 09. i have 08 but im sure 09 works. so if you save the pages doc as a template you can just drag in the image file into where the old image is and print that way.
command p, choose borderless printing in the drop box and click print borderless. it should work.
email me for a copy of my pages document. [email protected]
i promise though, with canon or epson 4 x 6 print paper, its pretty amazing. almost comparable to my prints from my printer.
or you can fit 12 3.5 x 2inch (business card sized) pics on an 8.5 x 11.

Printing 4x6 photo in iPhoto Problem

When trying to print a 4x6 in iPhoto, the print image is enlarged and cuts out the outer part of the photo. How can I get it to print the real size?

A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

I cannot print 4x6 photos only 8.5x11

When I try to print a 4x6 photo it looks like it has a red haze to it. When I try to print the same picture on 8.5x11 it prints perfectly. How do I get the printer to print 4x6 photos. I am using HP paper. Can you help?

Hi there eod126,
Could you provide the community with a little more information to help narrow troubleshooting? Things like your printer model and your operating system help out a lot.

I am suddenly having a problem printing 4x6 photos. The print as though starting in the middle of an 8x10 sheet. I've checked and double-checked the print settings. Anyone else have this problem?

Photosmart 5510 when sending from ipad2 picture comes out small,can I get it to print full A4 size?

when printing from my Ipad 2 the picture prints small ,can I get it to print to full A4?

Hi eleybill,
Welcome to the HP Consumer Printer Forums!
Here is an article that explains how to print from an iPad to your printer:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02784317&tmp_task=useCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lang...=
To answer your question, in that article it states:
NOTE: Print options only apply to documents. All photo files print at a default image size of 4 x 6 in (101.6 x 152.4 mm).
**UPDATE** 04/26/12
After some testing, I have found if you change the paper size > A4, and Image Size > Custom, then you can pinch to zoom the image to the size of your liking.

Trying to print 4x6 photos on 7520, always gives no paper in tray message

I am trying to print 4x6 photos from my laptop. I have changed the preferences for the printer to "photo tray" and 4x6 photo paper. I keep getting the message "no paper in tray". The main tray is empty and I have 4x6 photo paper in the photo tray. What next?

the settings are correct. if I put paper in the main tray it prints the picture on paper, not photo paper. I printed a test page last night and it printed on the photo paper. I still get the same message when trying to print the photo. Thanks

1: Go into iTunes.

3: In 'Info' change the album name to the one you want it to go into, when you start typeing it should automatically come up.
4: Check that the disk number and track number is correct. It should be automatic.
4: Press OK.
You should see it go into the album now.

L7680 Won't print 4x6 photo-Error Code B842F086

Prints letter size OK. Test page and alignment pages good. When I try to print 4x6 photos, printer locks up and I get an immediate error message “Turn power off then on again”, then error code B842F086. Later, the message “….Improper shut down”

Yes, it has always printed 4x6 just fine. I am talking about 'borderless' 4x6. Just as an experiment, I tried 4x6 with border and one other 4x6 format (don't remember), no joy. They I retried 4x6 bordrless and it worked fine. Printed several sets of photos.
Go figure???

When I print 4x6 photos they are crooked on the paper

Can anyone tell me why, when I print 4x6 photos the photo is crooked on the paper?

Hello ncurto,
Sorry that the photos are coming out crooked. There actually could be a number of reasons why this could be happening. I would like to request a little information from you.
1. The model number of the printer. (c309, a909, d110)
2. What type of paper are you using? (brand and size)
3. Have you done any type of troubleshooting since the issue has begun? (Cleaning rollers, power cycling)
4. How long has this issue been a problem and did it ever print correct?
5. Does this error occur when you print out of the one application or all applications?
The answers you provide will allow me to better diagnose the issue.
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

I have a Mac Air.. with 10.10 and just purchased a HP laserjet pro M201dw .. I can't get it to print duplex in pages or word. In pages not highlighted. does in Adobe for pdf. Help!

I have a Mac Air with 10.10 . Just purchased a HP Laserjet Pro M201dw printer. I can not get the duplex printing to work in Word or Pages. It does work for PDF files in Acrobat Pro. It won't for emails. In Pages I see two- sided but it is dimmed. I look at setups and it shows two -sided is off but can't find a way to change this setting. In the printer setting itself, the duplex box is checked. Need help. Did notice the driver only goes up to 10.9 but it says on Apple site of supported printers this one is listed.
Appreciate help in solving this issue.
Thanks in advance for anyone willing to give me some time and assistance.
Fran

All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.
