Can't print contact sheet in iPhoto 11

iPhoto 11 9.4.3: OS 10.8.5; iMac mid 2011; Epson WP-4020 printer. All of a sudden, I cannot print a contact sheet from iPhoto. Had no problem doing so before. I now get error message from printer "Paper out, incorrect loading, or paper jam," none of which apply. No problem printing individual photos or anything else. Other posts have indicated a problem with a theme not being selected and to select one after clicking on a theme button. I cannot find the theme button to check this out. Where is this button and would this solve my problem?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.

  • Can I print contact sheets from Iphoto or aperture with file names?

    I can not figure out nor am I sure it can be done with these programs but if someone out there can tell me how I would be very happy. I have several jobs I need contacts on I have been printing contact sheets and then handwriting the file numbers. To old fashion for me. HELP

    1. In the browser pane in Aperture, select the images you need.
    2. File>Print...
    3. On the left-hand side of the print dialog, click on 'Sample Contact Sheet Preset'.
    4. In the layout options there is a drop-down menu for which metadata set you want to show below the images. You may get away with using 'Name Only' which gives you the current Version Name, otherwise you may have to make a new metadata set* containing just the filename.

    * Making new metadata sets has been covered several times on the forum, the search function is your friend.

  • Unable to print Contact Sheets from iPhoto

    Hi there,
    Since installing Lion 10.7.5 on my Mac Pro I no longer get the option to print Contact Sheets from iPhoto. I'm running quite an old version of it I think (Version 6.0.6), however this was no problem before the upgrade.
    Can anyone suggest a solution for this?
    Thanks in advance.

    I just fired up my iPhoto 6.0.6 under Mt. Lion and I have no contact option in that version either.  You'll have to upgrade to at least iPhoto 7 (08) in order to get contact sheets back.  So you might as well upgrade to the latest iPhoto from the App Store.
    If you also want the latest versions of iWeb and iDVD (which have been discontinued by Apple) you'll have to purchase a copy of the iLife 11 disc from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: iLife 11.

  • Can't print contact sheets on Epson R1800 with LR3

    I upgraded to Lightroom 3 a few months ago and can't print contact sheets on 13x16" sheets using my Epson R1800 (it worked fine before in Lightroom 2).
    I have this problem on both an iMac and Macbook Pro, both running the latest version of Snow Leopard.
    I've tried re-installing the drivers, open the program in 32 bit mode and no joy.
    I can use the Print Module no problem and can print 4x6 single prints or even do a 2x2 contact sheet on a 4x6. I can also print a 7x7 contact sheet on a 13x19" sheet using draft mode, but if I try to use profiles (the images are way too dark in draft mode), LR will spend a few minutes rendering the images, while this is happening the job appears in the Epson utility, but once LR has finished rendering, the progress bar disappears along with the job in the Epson utility and nothing happens?
    Anybody experience something similar?
    Thanks in advance for replying.

    Print Drivers on OS X aren't the same as on Windows...
    You can't use an Epson driver made for USB-only Epson printers, because they wrote the driver to only work via USB. To use the CUPS Windows printer protocol, you need a driver written to use CUPS. The Gutenprint drivers Apple included in OS X are CUPS drivers. An update is here:

    If your specific model isn't yet supported, try other model drivers.

  • Printing contact sheet from iPhoto

    How can I print a contact sheet from iPhoto that retains the order of photos in my album?
    I've placed the photos of which I want to make a contact sheet in their own album.  I've organized them according to how I'd like them to print.  However, when I go to print/contact sheet/custom to set the number of images per page and hit the print button, the photos are reorganized according the the main photo folder into which the images were originally imported - that is to say, by date order.

    My printer does support landscape and portrait printing. It is the latest version of iPhoto 9.5.3 that only offers a minimal choice of printer, paper size and paper type. There are no formatting options available other than "Fit, Fill, Custom, 20x25cm, 13x18cm, 10x15cm and contact sheet". Another example of Appple degrading software to make it iOS compatible!
    Perhaps Apple should be reading what their customers are complaining about and do something to restore the quality of their downgraded software.

  • Can't print contact sheet (was Ron A B)

    How do I print a contact sheet in PSE11?

    What I would try at this point is using the installer to uninstall Elements. You choose Remove Components rather than Install components when you get to that screen. Then create a new admin user (system preferences>user accounts, and be sure to turn on the box to let the new user administer the computer). Log in as that user and run the install from there. If PSE works okay, then you can go back to your regular account and delete the new user. Don't forget to repair permissions after installing.

  • Can I print a landscape contact sheet in iPhoto

    I am unable to print a landscape contact sheet in iPhoto (latest upgrade, Maverick OS). I can get an image to switch to landscape when switching through the options, but this often results on cutting off the image (the only option iPhoto offers is to move the image or make it bigger, which cuts it off even more). I can't find any print settings as suggested in previous questions and answers and when I click print, there are no other options for me to change it. I have included screenshot for reference

    That's right.  We haven't been  able to do a Print Setup since iPhoto 8 (09).  Whether the image is oriented landscape or not is built into iPhoto for single photo printing but for the contact sheet we've only got portrait orientation.
    You can report this deficiency in iPhoto to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html in hopes they will incorporate that feature in the new Photos app that will be released sometime this spring.

  • Is it possible to change the number of rows while printing a contact sheet in Iphoto? Please help

    Hi guys, I am struggling to find out how to change the number of rows on a contact sheet on Iphoto , i have selected my photos and i want it to print 6 photos on each page however I am not able to do it.      Please help me out, im a Art student and i need to submit my contact sheets for an assignment  Thanks in advance guys !!!!!

    I don't think you can do that with the Contact Sheet layout.  If you have Pages or a 3rd party image editor that supports layers you can do what you want.  Or try the demo version of OmniGraffle for Mac It will run fully operational for 14 days. 

  • How on Earth do you Print Contact Sheet in Landscape Orientation in the new iPhoto?

    Just upgraded to Maverick and new iPhoto and boy am I sorry.  In the last version of of iPhoto it was really difficult to print 4 to a page contact sheets from iPhoto in landscape mode.  Why would you want to print in any othe mode when most photos are taken in landscape?
    Pleae help as I have to print these photos ASAP for a client.

    First set the page size to letter- borderless. Next after selecting the Contact theme click on the Print Settings button and reset the page size to 11 wide and 8.5 high.
    Finally set the columns to 2 which will give you this:
    To test it without having to print each time use the PDF ➙ Save as PDF menu option.  If all looks good you can print from the PDF file.
    There's no provision for adding a title at the top of the page.  However, create a TextEdit, Word, Pages, etc., document, put the title at the top and print over the printed contact sheet.

  • Printing Contact Sheets

    Hello
    I am trying to print a 4.5 x 5.75 contact sheet of 8 images, which I have saved as a preset. I have printed this many times in the past but this time I am getting a error message (which appears in the print dialog box too quickly for me to read.)
    Anyways it seems to be isolated to printing contact sheets. If I try to print a single image from Aperture there is no problem. I have tried rebuilding my Aperture library, tried rebooting, but don't know what else to try?
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks for the help.

    Miklos:
    One poster pointed out that you could create a book using the Year Book theme. There you can select to have anywhere from 1 to 32 images per page and include the file names underneath the photos if desired. Then print the book to PDF and then print each page to hardcopy. Don't know if that will reduce your overall assembly time but you will be able to have the file names or titles printed also.
    Another way is to create an html gallery, display in Safari and then print. Here's how:
    Creating Contact Sheet with Titles
    1 - Put the files you want to print in an album and arrange in the order you'd like.
    2 - Go to the File->Export->Web Page menu option.
    3 - While in the Web page window, select the number of thumbnails you'd like across each page (iPhoto will keep you informed on how many pages it will take).
    4 - Click on Show Title under thumbnails and click on Export. Then select the location where you'd like the resulting files to be saved (create a temporary folder to contain them).
    5 - Once saved, go the folder and open the index.html file with your browser. You will get a page with your thumbnails and titles beneath them.
    6 - Print that browser page and you've got your contact sheet with file names (or comments if desired).
    If you want more control over the thumbnail gallery, try using BetterHTMLExport or Galerie
    Good luck.

  • How to make a contact sheet using iPhoto

    how to make a contact sheet using iPhoto

    Which iPhoto version do you have?
    In iPhoto '11 you can make the Contact Sheet by selecting all photos you want on the sheet, press ⌘P, and in the Print panel select "Contact Sheet". Set the number of columns, adjust the margins, and select the captions you want.
    Then press the Print button.

  • When I make a contact sheet on Iphoto is it possible to put a title on top of the page, that is not a title of one of the photos?

    Is it possible to put a title on top of the page in a contact sheet on Iphoto?

    No.  But you can create a text file for TextEdit, Word, Pages or other text application that you use, put a title at the top and print it on the already printed contact sheet.  Just make the top margin in iPhoto's contact layout  large enough so the title can be printed there by the other app.

  • Customizing Contact Sheets in iPhoto

    We used to be able to customize the order of the photos on the contact sheets in iPhoto by moving them around the actual sheet. I am unable to do find a way to do this with the current version of iPhoto. The only thing it allows me to customize is how many pictures per page... Anyone know if there's a way to do it the old way?

    Group the photos in an album and sort the into the order your want manually. Select all and print.  They will appear in the contact sheet in the order you put them in the album.

  • Printing Contact Sheets in Elements 5.0

    When printing contact sheets is it possible to also print file #'s or a number of my choosing under the pictures? I've been able to do this with previous versions but can't seem to find it in version 5. Thanks for any help...

    Having chosen Contact Sheet as the Type of Print, you can choose to print File name.
    Whether the file name contains a number useful for this purpose probably depends on your workflow.
    Personally, I would not consider another choice - Caption - useful for this purpose because the caption is a permanent part of the photo file and does not seem applicable for a specific contact sheet. Yet there are some cases where it might work.
