Can't see actual print size.

Is there really not a way to get Aperture to show you the size of the print in the print dialog?
Seems simple enough, but if you Choose Custom Image size and uncheck the silly Crop to Fill and Rotate to Fit defaults, then your picture is scaled to the fit WITHIN a box the size you have specified. Either the width or the height will be somewhat smaller than the size you have specified. (Unless your box is exactly the same aspect ratio as the (still secret) aspect ratio of the original image).
The only way I can find the size is to add up the dimensions specified in the Margins dialog and then add to the box size and see which dimension doesn't add-up.
Can't Aperture display the size of the image it's about to print?
...or at least have an option to set the ruler zero marks to the edge of the image?
Aperture is running on a supercomputer and I need to do the actual size calculation in my head? What am I missing?

See if this helps!!

Photoshop CS can't show the actual print size & other bugs...

Although I have set in preferences my display's exact dots per inch (which is 92.72) , the rulers in mm and the real print size of the document, when I click on view print size, the document is displayed much smaller than the actual size! I have also set the printer (a virtual pdf printer) in A1 to avoid a possible scaling of the print size. So the software has all the required information, but still it can't figure out the actual print size! What do you guys think about that? I personally think that the developers couldn't figure out how to do a simple task either! Even though I work on photoshop CS occasionally, I have found too many bugs to mention. The most frustrating one, is that it suddenly stops responding to key shortcuts! Then I have to select everything from the menus or save, exit, restart and re-open the documents -now imagine being in the middle of a complicated task... Another huge annoying bug: When I "Select All" in order to copy a layer, if that layer happens to have some parts surrounded with transparency, Photoshop destroys their position and the image overall, by arbitrarily centering those parts in the pasted frame!!! Also, too often everything disappears temporarily if I pause for a second while I drag a selection rectangle etc. They haven't even made the cursor capable to move in a gray background without being invisible! So much for a "professional" expensive application! Note I have installed the available patches for this version. I know it's a bit old but as I said, I work occasionally and I don't wish to pay hundreds of euros almost each year for a new version upgrade while I'm not even happy with the previous one! BTW, on this thread editor when I hit "enter" to start a new line, the cursor goes at the beginning of the document! Now, are the Adobe's web developers drunk or what? Sorry, I cannot stand too much of stupidity right now...

Hm, your readings seem to imply Photoshop thinks your screen resolution is just about 128 pixels / inch. Not sure where it might be getting that number.
For what it's worth, on my Vista system I mocked up an image as you described above: An image of 3614 x 3196 pixels at 317.632 pixels per inch. My monitors display 100 ppi, and that's what I have set in the Edit - Preferences - Units & Rulers.
When I selected the zoom tool and clicked the [ Print Size ] button it zoomed to 31.48% and when I measured the display width with the ruler it came up 11-3/8", which is just about right.
HOWEVER... When I right-clicked the image with the zoom tool active, and chose Print Size it came up 8-1/4", which just happens to be about the same amount smaller than proper size that you're seeing. Sounds like a bona fide buglet in Photoshop CS.
I repeated the performance with Photoshop CS2. It works fine in CS2 - the [ Print Size ] button and right-click context menu entry both put the image up the same (proper) size.

Viewing actual print size

Is there a way in PSE5 for windows or in the latest PSE Mac version to precisely view on the computer the actual print size which I intend to make of an image (for example 16 x 20 inches or larger )so that I can see what it will look like hanging on my wall?

Enid,
1.What you see on the monitor does not correlate precisely with what the print quality will turn out to be, as the pixel density requirements for each medium may differ for a good result. If you go to www.pbase.com and open a gallery at random, then save a picture file on your computer, open it, it will look great at 72px/in (the downloaded number)on the monitor, but it will be pixellated, most likely, at that resolution on paper.
2.For printing, it is desirable to have 240-300px/in.
3.If you open an unaltered picture downloaded from your camera card, then go to Image>resize>image size, you will see values for width, height, and pixels/in. Now if you increase the pixels value and do nothing else, the size of the picture will contract. This is called an inverse relation.
4.This concept is not easy to grasp. On another forum this issue surfaced yesterday, have a look:
http://www.elementsvillage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37253
5.A simplistic way to look at this is to think of a hair net. As one stretches it, there is degradation of the detailed structure.
HTH.

There are hidden pages in the PDF form I have. How can I see and print all without clicking on the

I have hidden pages in the PDF form I'm using (but didn't create). How can I see and print all the pages at once without clicking on the "next page" button. In the initial view, there are four pages, but if I click the "next page" button, there are a total of 12 pages in this document. This is three budget years, each year being 4 pages long.

You're most likely dealing with a dynamic XFA form created in LiveCycle Designer. You can open it, click the button, and save it, and it will most likely be 12 pages when next opened, but it depends on how the form is set up. The ability to make edits to an XFA form in Acrobat is very limited, especially for dynamic forms, so things like flattening aren't possible.
If it's not an XFA form, you'd still need to click the button at least once and save. To say for sure what's possible, I'd need to see the document. Can you post it somewhere?

OS X 10.8.3-Safari 6.0.4 Can't see or print Chase bank statements

Everything has worked just fine prior to installing the latest version of Adobe Reader. I could log on to my Chase credi tcard account, view and print from Safari anything I wanted. Subsequent to the Reader installation I can't see or print the statements. Printing other stuff hasn't been effected as far as I can tell.

Disable the Adobe Reader PDF plug-in.
See here: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html
If you want to use Adobe's plug-in, make sure you open Adobe Reader and accept the license agreements, if you haven't already.

On pages, my tab under inspector disappeared, I can't see my font size or paragraph spacing anymore. How do I get my tab back?

The Inspector Icon does not have a "tab", it is just a shortcut button.
Menu > View > Show Inspector
command option i does the same thing showing and hiding the Inspector.
Because the Inspector/s are movable windows, if you can't see them they maybe somewhere off your screen or half tucked away partially out of sight.

Can't see MFP printer attached to AE (in Bridge mode)

Can't see MFP printer attached via ethernet cable to 2nd AE (in Bridge mode extending wireless network) on local wifi network.
Printer is set to static IP adress (192.168.0.50).
Upstream Router is: 192.168.0.1 (this is connected to first AE).
When the printer was previously attached (by ethernet cable) to 1st AE, everything was working fine and I could login to printer Admin page via Safari by typing IP Address. I have since moved the printer to the back of the house and leaving all previous settings, the printer is not visiable on the wifi network.
Normal process to setup is:
System Prefs > Print & Fax > Add > IP > 192.168.0.50 (currently just hangs not seeing the printer).
Normally the printer name appears and the correct driver is shown at the bottom as Use: Ricoh 2020D Driver

Have you verified that the Ethernet port is functioning correctly by temporarily connecting a laptop, turning off the wireless, and connecting using an Ethernet cable to see if the laptop can get a good Internet connection that way?
The all-in-one device should also be reset back to factory default settings, then reconfigured again with a new static IP address. In other words, start all over again on the printer including a complete power cycle of the main and extending AirPort devices..

Can't see the printer queue

Hi,
I can't see the printer queue in Snow Leopard.
Either if I go to the Printer & Fax setting in the System Settings and try to open the printer queue it doesn't open.

I have the same problem and I'd like to attach my issue to this thread.
I use a Brother HL5250DN printer connected via USB cable to an Airport Express base station. The model is supported by 10.6, drivers are installed and the printer appears properly on all the lists. I can print on it, I can set all the options, but I have no access to the queue whatsoever. I can print without problems, I just can't access the queue.
It doesn't appear in the Dock during printing.
Pressing the button in the Printer & Fax preferences window produces no result, error or feedback of any kind.
What's wrong? I tried reinstalling the drivers and the entire system, but without "Archive & Install" option I can't do much to ensure there are no left-overs from 10.5. Does anyone know a solution?
Thanks in advance.

I have my printer email address, but I can not see my printer listed when I login to hpeprint.com

I will need some more information in order to assist. What model of printer do you have? Different printers have different features such as the ability to display the printer's ePrint address on the front panel of the printer. The website that the printer can be viewed at is eprintcenter.com. Click on this link here to see the sign in page. Have you signed up and register the printer at this site? Is the email address for the printer one that you have customized? Or is one consisting of what appears to be random letters and numbers?

You need to update the printer's firmware to 2.0.
Go to http://www.canon.ie/Support/Consumer_Products/products/Fax__Multifunctionals/Ink Jet/PIXMA_MG_series/PIXMA_MG6250.aspx?type=download&page=1

How to set Photoshop to show actual print size?

When I go to View Print Size the resultant image is smaller than the actual print size. How do I set PS to show the actual size on my monitor?

Measure the physical horizontal viewing length of your monitor. 11.25 inches for example.
Then the horizontal resolution your monitor is set to. 1280 pixels as an example. divide 1280 by 11.25 to get 113.77 pixels per inch, your screen resolution. Round it out to 114.
In Photoshop: Edit menu > Preferences > Units and Rulers, and in New Document Presets, change the Screen Resolution to 114. Click OK, restart Photoshop.
After that when you use View > Print Size, your onscreen rulers will match up to a physical ruler and your documents will be at the physical print size set in your document's dimensions under Image > Image Size.

You cannot revert back to iCloud after enabling iCloud Drive on your MacBook Air. If you want to be able to access your documents on all your Macs you'll have to upgrade the others to Yosemite and enable iCloud Drive on them too.

Can't see shared printer with IOS 6 on ipad 3rd generation

I just upgraded my 3rd generation ipad to iOS 6.0 and now it won’t see the shared printers at my office. The printers are shared on a Mac mini server running OS X Server Lion 10.7.4. I can still see the shared printers and can print to them from a 3rd generation ipad with iOS 5.1.1.
Does anyone know what apple changed with iOS 6.0 that makes it where the shared printers aren’t showing up and what I might need to do to get them back working on my ipad with iOS 6.0?
Thanks -

iOS printing to a non-AirPrint printer is not supported. There's more information here: AirPrint 101
If you had iOS printing working through yout OS X Server then you must have had another piece of software running in the server emulating AirPrint. That software isn't compatible with iOS 6.
