Cannot print PSD without "scale to fit media" selected
I am trying to print PSD sized slightly bigger than 8.5 x 11 on my Samsung laser jet printer. I have no problem printing documents sized under 8.5 x 11, but not anything larger. Photoshop does not prompt me that clipping may occur. The file doesn't get sent to my printer queue. I'm confused as to why this is.
Any help?
Christopher
P.S. I'm using Photoshop CC on Windows 8.1, everything is up to date, printer works fine everywhere else.
I'm not sure what is causing this, but if you checkmark "print selected area" will it printout the clipped portion of your image?

Set "Scale To Fit Media" as default in Photoshop CS6 print settings on OSX
Quite frequently my boss will email 10 to 30 images to me to print from his camera. Is there a way to setup Photoshop CS6 print settings so that "Scale To Fit Media" is the default. I tried to create an action and then through Bridge select a folder and Batch send the files to Open-Print-Close. Since images are never received 8.5"x11" it would be convenient to have this as a default. Since the print settings revert, or aren't defaulting to "settings last used", my batch attempt was unsuccessful. I know I could edit my action to adjust image size to page dimensions, but thought a way to edit the Print settings default must be out there somewhere. (Using MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.4) Any Suggestions?
Unfortunately "Scale to Fit Media" isn't a toggle. But let's try a workaround.
You can create an Image Size action where you will scale the picture to either 8.5 inches wide or 11 inches high, whichever works best for you. First be sure "resampling" is turned off under Image > Image Size.
You would open an iimage, then create an new action, title it "Letter 11 inches" and that's when the recording starts.
Enter 11 inches as the Height, click OK and then stop recording.
This is a quick and dirty action and assumes all pictures are portrait and not landscape. It may just work for you.
You should be able to include it in your batch processing.

Printing Keynote presentation-scale to fit
is there a way to print a keynote presentation to scale to fit different paper sizes? E.g. I have a 800 x 600 presentation and I want it to print to the maximum size on a tabloid page (same for 1024x720, 1920 x 1080, custom, etc). Ideally this would be handled directly out of keynote, but changing the percentage of output under page setup has NO effect...this seems so basic, there's got to be something simple I am missing.. can anyone help?
btw: exporting to pdf only to then print seems like an extra step and creates a duplicate file I would rather not have to keep up to date with changes...
anyone?Hi
I am having the same problem but with larger poster size slides. I have ended up making PDFs from Keynote. -
How do I Configure Desktop Printer to scale to fit?
I love the feature of drag and drop printing and I often need to print many pdfs. However when I drag pdfs to the desktop printer icon it prints them on letter sized paper without scaling them to fit. I have configured the printer in the setup utility to print on tabloid but it still prints on letter with no scaling. How can I configure the desktop printer to scale to fit and select paper size? booya
Hi Daniel, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Doesn't your printer have a setting for the default size in it rather than just on the Mac?
What size are these in the first place?
I think the secret is to save the Tabloid size as a Default, but I don't have a Tabloid to test with, so I used Preview, (which you may end up having to use to drop on or Script to, dunno yet).
I made a new Page size of Tabloid...
Then saved as default...
You'll have to test this... not even sure it works to Scale to Size, but at least you could drop them on Preview then +p to see. -
How to default Preview/Finder to print "Scale to Fit Print Entire image/Fill Entire Paper"?
Hello all,
I have to print PDFs. Preview or printing directly from Finder prints scaling 100% and many many times the edges of the PDFs are left outside of the printing area. I have the correct paper size selected (A4) and actually the PDFs are also A4 but for some reason 100% zooms in a bit and cuts the sides of the print outside.
I can of course fix this by selecting Scale to Fit and Print Entire Image but I do have to do this every single time I open a PDF. I want to make this option my default! And preferrably so that I can use CMD+P from Finder to print directly without having to open the PDF. I already know what is in it...
I have tried different Terminal tricks I have found searching the web but no luck, this and others with Preview closed before executing the command
defaults delete com.apple.Preview PVImagePrintingScaleMode
Please help and make my life easier. Cannot be this hard.I got a work around for this. Instead of using RTF template, I used Microsoft Excel itself as template and did the formatting in excel.
thanks,

How can I print a full frame photo from iPhoto 11? Even though I click on scale to fit paper size, it crops both ends of the photo in landscape set up. I have an Epson R1800 with the latest drivers. (I'm also 3 days new to iMac and iPhoto 11 from an eMac and iPhoto 6.)

Is there a way to scale to fit in the print dialog? Does anyone know where this is and how to save these? The settings seem to be splayed across Numbers, Layout and Paper Handling Tabs and I really wish they had put this together in a more straightforward way.
This dialog drives me nuts when I have two printers and a jillion pieces of software that I am printing out of.
Is there a way to scale a numbers spreadsheet to FIT onto 8 x 11 or 8 x 14 or 11 x 17 inch paper? I often need to print the SAME DOCUMENT out on different paper sizes and I can't seem to find a scale to fit in the print dialog that works.
I am using an HP 8500 and a HP 1700.

If you don't want to apply the trials scheme every time, you may use these scripts.
The first one allows you to grab the exact scale value which you defined one by the trials scheme.

Scale-to-fit compositions without writing code
When will Edge make scale-to-fit compositions without writing code?
Hey Yuval,
Glad you found the tutorial useful!
This is because the code targets the #Stage div, not the body which is where your menu is appended to.
Trying $("#Stage").append(sym.$('Menu')) might do the trick. Give that a shot.

Adobe Reader v 11.0.10 cannot print PDF files
Hello,
My Adobe Reader v11.0.10 running on Windows 8 Pro with Media Center cannot print anymore.
I used to be able to print from Adobe Reader before.
I still can print to all printers using other applications – Word, Excel, Notepad.
I can print a test page on any of my printers without any problems.
I can print PDF files using other PDF viewers (like Foxit reader), but I can’t print from Adobe Reader.
There is no error message on the screen and there is no any error message in the log files.
If I uninstall Adobe Reader and re-install it, then the first time I log on I’ll be able to print once.
But any consecutive attempt to print will fail!
Any ideas what could be the problem?
Thank you!Hello,
I go to File --> Print menu.
As I always do.
It used to work before.
I haven't tried "Print as image" option, but I'll try it and post the result!
I will try also unchecking 'Enable Protected Mode at Startup' option under Edit> Preferences> Security (Enhanced)
As I mentioned in my previous post I tried re-installing Adobe Reader - but no luck :
"If I uninstall Adobe Reader and re-install it, then the first time I log on I’ll be able to print once."
I think that the issue is not the particular file - it has something to do with Adobe Reader itself. Maybe it is corrupted????
I'll try again tomorrow and I'll post the result!
Thank you for your reply! -
Hi,
Is there any way to order large prints (16x20 or 20x30) scaled to fit the page with a margin for matting and framing? I typically crop my photos to odd sizes, then export to another application (GraphicConverter) to scale and add margins, then import this "print ready" version of the photo back to iPhoto.
However, when I do this, I notice that the colors in the scaled image are significantly darker than the original, or change slightly in tone. Likewise, the histogram changes dramatically. I'm guessing that the color changes during scaling, as I'm taking a 3.2 megapixel original and upscaling both the dimensions (to 16x20) and the resolution (to 300 dpi) giving me a final image of 4800x6000 pixels, with margins. I'm usually using the Mitchell scaling algorithm that appears to upscale quite nicely, but the color darkening is troubling.
Have others attempted to "upscale" their images? What techniques have been successful for maintaining color balance? Or, is there a capability in iPhoto to simply take my original photo and order a print at 16x20, scaled to fit without cropping?
Thanks!

PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)Thank you!
I am going to lay out all of my suggestions to you below. I hope they help you!
If the issue is coming from the printer hardware or software, these steps should correct it:
Follow the steps in this guide:
If the guide does not help, in order try these steps:
Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
Repair disk permissions
Restart the Mac
Install the printers full driver here: HP Photosmart 6520 e-All-in-One Printer Full Feature Software and Drivers
In addition, download this driver: HP Printer Drivers v3.0 for OS X
Try your print again and it should now be fixed if the printer was causing the problem. If the issue does happen to continue, post the issue in the Adobe Support Community

Adobe Reader 9.1 Cannot print - No pages were selected
When trying to print a PDF on a new Dell PC using Windows XP, sp3, I get a message in a window that says Document cannot be printed. Click ok and the next message is No pages were selected to print. The All button is selected and the message stays the same.
Scadger
For your problem, I'm assuming other programs already print without problem. My only recommendation is backup your system, format, install only your OS and printer, and see if that hits it. Get a fresh copy of Adobe reader, maybe off a magazine CD - the downloads off internet are usually only download managers that install themselves on your system and then download the actual program. Stay away - possible errors can creep in. And maybe stay away from the Adobe Reader install package you have at the moment - mark it suspect. Download your printer software anew.
Basically start fresh. If it works then, I'm guessing a software conflict on your old system is the cause, or your install media you used for your old install was corrupt, only 2 of many possibilities.
But the key here is to make a "ghost" backup of your current system so you can go look for the problem afterwards. Of course, I don't even know if there is backup software like ghost out there for a mac.
Also, I think your mac probably has recovery CDs. Avoid those - get CDs of your OS only. Make sure you install only the OS and printer software - possibly even only the printer driver, not the printer software. The newest latest and greatest versions of all of them.
And easiest probably is to put in a different hard disk for this test - saves you from backing up.
My thoughts are that Adobe Reader should work on your system. It's a software configuration issue. So something you've installed is preventing things from working correctly. Especially since your other programs print to the same printer driver without hassle. But your first step is to get Adobe Reader to print again on a fresh start and prove it still can work, then add stuff until it stops working and blame the last thing you installed.
The actual error, as we've learnt, might be completely unrelated to "no pages were selected".
If you've done all that and still no joy, try a different printer with different software. Then try a different printer cable. Then you've got to move on to changing the machine so you can get away from the ports on your current system, but by this time we're at the point of giving up hope, I hope you don't have to go there. Maybe you could install a peripheral card in your system to add a new port, but that's also more of a hassle than it's worth.
Hope this helps. -
Deskjet 5740 won't scale to fit page; image off-center
I am using HP DJ 5740 over network via Airport Express. Driver is "HP5700 Series, v3.1.1" Neither of my Macs can correctly scale an oversized document to fit the page -- the command seems to be ignored, the preview picture never changes, the result is cropped off. The image looks off-center -- 7/8" on left, 1/8" on right, 5/8" on bottom (for page printed from Safari, ie no Word margins involved). And (for example) if I print a calendar month from iCal, the image is clipped on the left/bottom.
None of these symptoms occur when I print to the same printer from the Windows XP laptops on the same network. Ideas?Another tack that you may think worth trying: define a custom paper size that’s actually the standard letter size in dimensions but has zero (or very small) margins: you can save it as "Letter Borderless" or something. Then choose that size for your page setup. This might help convince Preview (or whatever other app) not to crop the image.
What format is the scanned file in? What does Preview’s Get Info say about its dimensions? It may be that the headers specifying the sample density are missing or malformed, because in theory an actual-size scan should print at actual size without using a fit-to-page option. If you find you need to resize the image, try and do so without resampling (that is, just change the nominal resolution). -
I cannot print E-Mails. When I hit the print button it only prints the top of the E-Mail but not the entire message. I have Windows 7, Internet Explorer 10. Everything else prints without problems except E-Mails.
This question was solved.
View Solution.filgrastin,
Out of curiosity, what is the email provider you are using from that browser?
Example: Gmail, MSN Live Mail, Comcast Webmail, etc. etc.
I use Firefox and have the same problem if I go to File/Print to print the webpage. Using and old HP 2210 and a couple of Epsons too.
For my email provider, I have to use the Print buttom provided in the page itself in order for the browser to send all of the page to the printer. Otherwise I have the same issue as you do.
IF your trying to print from a basic client like Squirrel, you probably wont get that option.
Does this image represent you are trying to do?
Printed from File/Print and "All Pages" and "Shrink to Fit" selected.
Only the top of the page prints and part of the side is missing.
Printed from Print button inside Gmail with "All Pages" and "Shrink to Fit" selected.
The entire width of the email page shows now and is fitted on two pages. -

Cannot print from hp DeskJet F4580
I have just bought my first MacBook with Mac OS X 10.6.4. Great computer.
However I cannot print from the wireless hp printer. I downloaded the latest driver from hp (maybe a fault) and started to install. Everything went as expected untill the setup process of the Printer Queue. Here I add the printer in order to create the Printer Queue, but when I click on the continue buttom I get this warning: Are you sure you want to continue without adding a Print Queue? I finished the installation with a congratulation sign.
Therefore there is no doubt, that the printer queue is missing. However I cannot found out to install the printer queue.
The printer is a socalled all-in-one printer. The scanner function is perfect with the wireless connection. But not the printer function.
I have also tried to connect via usb cabel. The result is the same. Scanner okay. Printer not okay.
The printer works perfect under Windows.
I hope somebody can help me. Thanks in advance.
ErikI'm having the same problem ! The wireless printing works using OS 10.5 on a G4 PowerBook but not OS 10.6 on an intel MacBook. I'm going to get in touch with HP as have used the latest drivers (as you have) - I've re-installed the HP software using Software Update for the latest version - still can't print. USB printing is also faulty so must be their drivers.
I'll let you know if I have any luck !
