Cannot Print to 5x7 Photo Paper with iPhoto

I just bought my first iMac and hooked it up to my Epson 730 Artison printer, which is designed to work with Apple products. Whenever I print a photo it always prints to the 8.5x11 inch paper instead of the photo paper, which is located above the 8.5x11 inch paper. This happens even when I select the 5x7 inch paper size and select glossy photo paper in iPhoto. In fact, it does not matter what combination of options I select from iPhoto in terms of the print options, it just prints it to 8.5x11 no matter what.
Is there some way to make iPhoto print to the size of paper that I choose with Epson products? There are two sizes of paper which can be loaded in the tray at the same time, in case you haven't seen one.
(Tearing hair out after an entire evening wasted trying to print one 5x7 glossy photo.)
Thank you very much.
David

I'm so embarrassed. The reason I was having trouble printing is because I did not install the latest print driver from Epson for Mountain Lion 10.8.1. I thought of this in the shower and tried it and now everything is fine.
I hope I didn't send anybody on a wild goose chase.

Sync iPhone 4 Photo Library with iPhoto?

How do I sync my iPhone 4 Photo Library with iPhoto? I am able to sync the Camera Roll with iPhoto, but I cannot locate the Photo Library (899 pictures) when syncing from iPhone to iPhoto.
Thanks!

The photo sync is one way - computer to iphone.
You cannot sync the photo library form iphone to computer. Since the pics came from your computer in the first place, they should still be there and should be included with your regular backup of your computer. The iphone is not a storage device.
The pics are reduced in resolution when synced to iphone anyway.

Books are no longer supported with iPhoto '08 (a roughly six yeal old product) - you can purchase an iLife '09 DVD from someplace like Amazon or eBay and install it - iPhoto '09 is still supported this year

Hello, is there a way for making a photo transparent with iPhoto are another software?

Hello, is there a way for making a photo transparent with iPhoto are another software?

Not with iPhoto, but different apps have different capabilities.
There are a couple of considerations: How is this transparent image to be used? In a Deskop Publishing environment something like Pages' Instant Alpha might be useful. Or if you're trying to overlay one image on another on a photograph then some editor that supports layers would be required.
Further, Jpegs as a format doesn't support transparency so you'll need to work ina file format that does.
But if you can explain what you're hoping to do we might be able to point you in a more useful direction.
In order of price here are some suggestions for editors:
Seashore (free)
The Gimp (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Pixelmator ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

Nope.
The closest Apple app for that is Cards.

If it has that available, when the Print Dialog comes up, click on Copies & Pages, choose Layout, look for 2 sided printing... some Printer Drivers may have it under abother heading.

How does Photos fit with iPhoto?

How does Photos fit with iPhoto?

iPhoto is no longer developed. At some point in the future (though not in the lifetime of Yosemite) an OS Update will come along that may disable it completely. How you choose to go forward is up to you. Some folks go all-in with the new app, some may hold back to see how it develops over time. But eventually, iPhoto will no longer work.

I have a Sony Cybershot camera. My problem is that I can't view my panoramic photos properly with iPhoto. Sony says to contact Mac support. Has anyone any info on this prob, please?

Panoramic photos. I have a Sony Cybershot camera. My problem is that I can't view my panoramic photos properly with iPhoto. Sony says to contact Mac support. Has anyone any info on this prob, please?

Not sure what you want - you shoot the photo by doing a sweep and the camera makes a static JPEG that is long (panaromic) and you import it - on the camera and in iPhoto is is a panaromic photo

Does anyone know where to find printer profiles for Epson paper with MG6200 printer using Lightroom?

Does anyone know where to find printer profiles for Epson paper with MG6200 printer for use in LightRoom5?

Epsnm should provide recommended settings (I.e. Which Canon paper type to select). They may also have profiles on their site.

Hi, I want to know if the quality of a photo book with iphoto is the same that with aperture,

the photos have the same quality, because I used aperture to retouch it, but for me is easy make a photo book with iphoto, I only imported the photos form aperture to iphoto, and I made the photo book, I want to buy it, but before I want to know which one have more quality or if the method of impression, aperture and iphoto, are the same.
so have both the same quality of impression?
And if the answer is no, Can I export my photo book form iphoto to aperture? how?
Thanks a lot

Quality is a personal opinion - I assume (but no one here really knows for sure) that the same vendor does both -
- here are technical details on both - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3412
in cany case you can not move a photo book from iPhoto to Aperature
And Apple does have a 100% satisfaction guarentee

How to print on photo paper with HP Photosmart 7520 on iphoto '11

Dear All,
I have a very serious problem. I've tried so many settings and configurations without success.
Very simple. I cannot choose the photo tray in any way and I cannot print on photo paper.
I get everything on A4 format.
The printer is working fine wih other software (e.g. HP studio).
I can't believe I'm the only one.
Please help!
tks ;-)

Hi,
I came across such issues using AirPrint from Mac OS.. probably an Airprint bug.
Go to Print & Scan and click the plus sign.
From the extended add a printer dialog select the Photosmart 7520.
Open the Use drop-down and select the HP Photosmart 7520 from teh list (Instead the default AirPrint option)
Additionally from the iPhoto print dialog click Print, the OS print dialog will appear.
Set the Paper Source as Photo Tray under the Paper Type/Quality menu.

How to load 5x7" photo paper so printer does not think tray is empty

I am using the HP app to try and print on photo paper 5x7" supplied with inks by HP for this printer. Printer takes photo papers at edge of tray but won't print as it detects no paper in it! Crazy!
I put the paper sideways, and then it did feel paper but printed across it, cutting off bottom as not correct shape. Looks like it is too small to be felt in tray

Hey , Welcome to the HP Support Forum. I see that you're having an issue with printing 5x7" photos with your HP Deskjet 2540 All-in-One Printer. I would like to help. Are you loading the paper as directed here?: (Source) One thing's that's not mentioned above that you might want to try is setting the paper width guides to makes sure the photo paper feeds accordingly. Let me know if this helps. Thank you for posting in the HP Support Forum. Have a great day!

I have a Mac with OS 10 5.8 and a new HP Pro 8500 Premier Printer. When printing, how do I change the print option from photo paper to plain or inkjet? This is a serious problem and HP tells me it is a problem with Firefox, that they are getting several

I used to be able to choose print options with Firefox and now I can't. It forces me to use photo paper when I want only to use plain paper. I do not have this problem with Safari or IE, just firefox. I have an office jet 4500 HP printer

I should add that it's an HP photosmart 4280.I found it online and it shows the Mac 0SX operating system.
