Cards won't print to A4?

Hi, I keep trying to print cards to A4 size on my printer but I can't they always come out top left with an inch of white bottom and right? why is it reducing everytime?

thecount:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The cards are set to print on 7 x 10 inch stock. Since most printers do not support borderless 7 x 10 a workaround is needed in order to get each side printed correctly so they are in register. If you have an image editor that supports layers you can follow Tutorial #8 to print borderless 7 x 10 cards.
(Just substitute A4 borderless for US Letter borderless in the tutorial)
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Office jet Pro 8600 Printing 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 Cards won't print borderless

Using windows 7 operating systems have tried using many programs to print from. Always choose borderless. The best we have done is elementate the border on 2 sides. I don't know what else to do. Anyone have any ideas? These are invitations for a party so a quick response would be appreciated. Thank you

Thank you MalsMom,
I suggest that you update the firmware following the steps in this document on Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates.
Here are the instructions for setting up borderless printing from the Officejet Pro 8600 User Guide page 43.
Print borderless documents (Windows)
1. Load paper in the tray. For more information, see Load media.
2. On the File menu in your software application, click Print.
3. Make sure the printer you want to use is selected.
4. To change settings, click the button that opens the Properties dialog box.
Depending on your software application, this button might be called Properties,
Options, Printer Setup, Printer, or Preferences.
5. Click the Paper/Quality tab, and then click the Advanced button.
6. In the Borderless Printing option, click Print Borderless, and then click the OK
button.
7. In the Media drop-down list, select the appropriate paper type.
8. Click OK, and then click Print or OK to begin printing.
Let me know if this helped.
Thank you,

Won't print from Photo Card

I have a new Photosmart Premium printer and it will not print from an XD card. The printer displays the photos and I can select all the photos etc. but it will not print - after going through the motions of starting the printing process, shaking and making lots of printer noises, the printer pauses and after a lengthy delay it spits out a blank page and cancels the print job.........
The photo printing works well from the computer but I chose this printer for the XD card option for quick printing. Please help!

Need a little more information here......there are several models called Photosmart Premium. Is it a C410a, C309g, C309c or which model?

HP LaserJet 5200 Print Queue Disappears or Won't Print Jobs

This problem has been ongoing for years, and can usually be overcome by either power-cycling the printer or cancelling the queue and reprinting. I have searched for nearly 6 years for a solution to this, but there was never anything that worked so we just muddled through it. But for some reason within the past few days has now escalated to the point that the printer won't print at all.
For starters: we're on Mac 10.8.3. That really shouldn't make much difference, however - as this problem has been around with other computers running older OS as far back as 10.4. Currently, the HP 5200 LaserJet is hooked up to USB (no Jet Direct card) and is shared on the network. No updates have been made (nor are there any available) for 6-9 months at least on the computer or printer. The only consistent part of this issue is that regardless of computer (we have hooked up three of them) the same problem persists at the same workstation (we changed it up today to troubleshoot - see below).
I have performed the following troubleshooting in the past two days:
• Installed and re-installed the printer software three times.
• Reset the printing system in the Print/Fax System Preferences five or six times.
• Power-cycled the printer, deleted the queue and reprinted approximately 30 times.
• Turned off printer sharing and turned on printer sharing to no effect either way.
• Restored the printer to factory settings to no effect.
• Tried running with the 5200 PPD and a Generic PS Printer PPD, no effect either way.
• Hooked the printer up directly to the computer and through a powered USB hub, no effect either way.
• Hooked up four different USB cables, two of which are from computers using printers that are not experiencing any connectivity issues.
• In the HP Utility, when hooked up direct via USB, the Service ID, FW Version, Serial and Product numbers come up as 'unknown'
• In the HP Utility, when hooked up via sharing the HP Utility will not work at all with the printer.
Most of the time I get the error of "Printing-Waiting for printer to become available" when sending a document. It doesn't matter if I send it from TextEdit, Safari, Chrome, or any Adobe program - it doesn't print.
Sometimes the document will act as if it's printing, and the light on the printer blinks - then it disappears without printing. The Print Log from the printer does not show anything being printed.
Prior to this new problem, we had an older 5200 printing exhibiting the same escalated issues. When I went to upgrade the firmware (Firmware date code of 20090716), the computer and printer lost connectivity and the formatter board became damaged. HP replaced our printer with another 5200 - which is now exhibiting the same issues. The new printer carries a Firmware date code of 20071017.
So, under these similar circumstances, upgrading the firmware is not an option as I don't think I can upload to the printer without losing the connection and damaging the formatter board again.
At this point, the printer simply won't print regardless of what I do.
I have moved the printer to another Mac using 10.6.8 and it is currently printing, but that is only a temporary fix. Edit: 3.5 hours later, the printer is exhibiting the same issues, and I am currently SOL on printing anything again.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks for replying - I was able to print a configuration page from the printer. I am not sure how to send text directly to the printer (assuming you mean by bypassing the print command window) - if someone has this info for a Mac, I can give it a try.
Additionally, I forgot to report the troubleshooting using the HP Utility (which made me think of when dansdaduk suggested printing directly to the printer):
• When hooked up direct via USB, the Service ID, FW Version, Serial and Product numbers come up as 'unknown'
• When hooked up via sharing the HP Utility will not work at all with the printer.
For a long while, I thought it may be something with the printer, but I believe it has to do with a USB connection conflicting in some way on the Mac OS, especially considering that we have had two printers manufactured at two different intervals across several years exhibiting the same issues. It's the only constant that remains, even when hooked up directly and not shared, or hooked up and shared across different computers regardless of the OS.

Printer won't print problem

We purchased an HP Photosmart Plus B209a-m last December. We have an HP Pavilion 513c with Microscoft Windows XP home edition version 2002.
At first the printer worked quite well. But for the last few months we have had an intermittent problem where it won’t print.
When the printer is working as it should, after we hit the print icon, a small window comes up telling us the ink levels and asking if we want to cancel – then it prints the document. But sometimes we hit the print icon and the little window comes up and says it can’t tell the ink levels, and the printer doesn’t print. If I turn the printer on and off, sometimes it will work again, and sometimes it won’t. Other times, if I unplug the usb cord and plug it back in, it will start working again. Anyway, we eventually get the printer working again – but the problem isn’t fixed – in a day or two it will happen again, and this gets quite frustrating.
So far I haven’t been able to figure out what may be causing the problem. Sometimes the printer prints, and sometimes it doesn’t.
I went to the HP website to see if there were driver updates. The website says there were, but for some reason I couldn’t download them.

I successfully downloaded the updated driver. Was hoping that would eliminate the problem, but it hasn't, and I have continued to try to figure out why!!! Although the printer works fine for most everything else, it will frequently jump off-line (although the control panel will not say it is off-line) when I try to pull up and print a picture from my camera's memory card (using the HP Photo Impressions).
The only things I can say for sure:
1) It is intermittent, and very frustrating at how often it does happen.
2) To fix the problem when it happens, sometimes just turning the printer off for 10 seconds, and then back on, will fix the problem. Other times it won't and I will also have to disconnect the connection to the computer, and then re-connect them.
3) There appears to be some connection with the connection to my camera's memory card.
4) There appears to be some connection with Photo Impressions - see additional comments on this below.
At times, when trying to pull up a picture with Photo Impressions I will get this message (it is important to note that the picture could be attached to an e-mail, on the hard drive, or the camera memory card):
"Windows - no disk
Exception Processing Message c0000013 parameters 75b6b17c 4 7566bf7c 75b6bf7c"
along with a "cancel" button, a "try again" button, and a "continue" button. None of the buttons will work with just one click. The computer appears to be locked up. However, if you click on one of the button about 20 to 30 times very quickly, the picture will then open. At that point, sometimes it will print and sometimes it will not print. However, if I turn off the printer, the picture will then open as normal.
We are not that computer savvy as far as the technical stuff goes, but we have both used computers for several years, and have never had a problem like this one. Please help!!

Crop marks won't print

I’ve only run into this with one client. He sends me individual epses, each one a business card to print. When I open them in Illustrator it looks like there are crop marks and bleed, when I place in InDesign, as I always do, to set 8 up on a page the bleed won’t print and the crop marks won’t print. I can enlarge the object box and see the bleed and crop marks but they still wont print. If I print directly from Illustrator just to test it, it will print the bleed but still no crop marks. This is all in CS3 but was the same when I had CS2.

I always prefer to use trim marks (crop marks as opposed to crop area) and fit the artboard to them.
I'm with you, Steve. I did it that way for years mainly because it left no room for ambiguity (and because that's what made sense to those of us who used to paste layout elements down on artboards with rubber cement).
Unfortunately, over the last few versions, Adobe seems to have been changing the paradigm on us. I've seen an attempt to bring Illustrator in line with the DTP way of doing things -- Quark, Pagemaker, and InDesign have always equated artboard size with document trim size. The change in Illustrator terminology (no more reference to "trim marks"), I think, was the first clue that this was happening.
In th U.S., more and more magazines (even as their numbers dwindle) are now accepting print ad layouts done in Illustrator (whereas they used to insist they be done exclusively in QuarkXpress). Those that do, however, are insisting that the document (artboard) size correspond to their trim size.
OK, fine. But I don't have to like it.

Won't print

I have reinstalled iphoto so it would no longer say it would not print due to no themes. Now it doesn't say anything, it just won't print.
I do have themes on my HD, not user. I have looked through the posts but haven't found anything that addresses my problem.
Thanks,
mleamy

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You may have to reinstall iPhoto anyway. Delete the current applicaiton, the themes folder and any file with iPhoto in the file name that resides in the HD/Library/Receipts folder. Reinstall iPhoto from the disk it came on, run the latest update, repair disk permissions, reboot and try again.
Happy New Year
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

IPhoto 7.1.4 won't print

Installed iPhoto 7.1.4, but now I can't print. Sez there are no themes available. But they are in the root library Application Support folder—and the app lives in the root application folder. Copied themes into ~/Library/Application Support/iPhoto just to see and it didn't help. Tried all the usual fixes: repair permissions, restarted app and OS, etc.
MacFixIt say tI'd find a Theme folder in ~/Library/Application Support/iPhoto and to copy it to /Library/Application Support/iPhoto. But I didn't have onenthere to begin with just in ~/Library/Application Support/iPhoto.
Reloaded 7.1.3 off another machine (on vacation and don't have disk) but now it still won't print.
Anyone have an thoughts?

Restoring iPhoto Themes
First look in your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If you find it there move it to the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder and reboot. Then try iPhoto again. That may save you having to go thru the reinstallation process described below:
1 - delete the current application.
2 - delete any files with iPhoto in the file name that reside in your HD/Library/Receipts folder.
3 - delete the Themes folder from your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder. Also look in the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If there is one there then delete it also.
5 - boot into the system disk that came with your computer and do a custom install selecting only iPhoto.
After installing reinstall the iPhoto 7.1.1 updater again followed by a repair of disk permissions with Disk Utility. Also make sure you're running the latest Quicktime, 7.3.

Canon Selphy CP730 won't print anymore

After installing the latest iPhoto (7.0.2) my Canon Selphy CP730 Compact Photo Printer won't print photo's from iPhoto anymore. The light on the printer blinks for a second, goes red and then back to green, while an icon in the Dock shows the CP730 with a red exclamation mark.
The strange thing is that I can print from all my other applications to this device. And with the previous iPhoto there where no problems either. I already reinstalled the drivers for the CP730, without succes.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Michel

Michel:
Try deleting the various printing pref files. One would be located in the User/Library/Preferences/ByHost folder. It would look something like this: com.apple.print.Cache.0016cb3791b6.plist (number will be different). Also com.apple.print.PrintingPrefs.plist and any obvious Canon prefs for the printer. There will be a lot of other Canon prefs but look of any that are obviously linked to the printer. You may not fine any, however.

Putting pictures on a memory card, via my printer

I'm not to sure I have the correct forum.
I'm trying to put pictures on a memory card, and the card will then go on my digital photo frame, I've put the card into my printer which is Photo smart 5520, and I use windows 7, when I've done it before with another printer, the card came up as a removable device, and then I just dragged the picture on to the memory card icon, I did this with my Epson, but my HP printer won't do it.
I asked a while back and the girl who helped me paired it up with the Internet, I did see my pictures on it, but it would not let me put more pictures on, which is why I'm asking again, I hope someone can help me, as I've got know idea at all, I'm not a computer buff, I only know the basics, thank you in advance to anyone who is kind enough to help me

Thanks for the response. What you are suggesting is that your memory card is not showing on the computer. Is that correct? If it is correct, try another card, and ensure these cards are not locked. If multiple cards do not work on the computer, you can reference this document for assistance on troubleshooting the card reader: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c01884924

Printer won't print too- need a new printer head. i want to know if you have one in stock

Hi, my printer won't print and the error message states "bad printerhead". My printer model is HP officejet d 155xi. I need to know how much it costs or would it be cheaper to buy a new printer. Still have four cartridges of ink. Please advise. Thanks.

HI,
You can find the General prices for the printheads HERE, if you only have to replace one its ok, but keep in mind that the other printhead are likely to be just as old and might break down as wel.

I have an hp photosmart c7280 all-in-one series printer won't print. error message, system problem

I have an HP Photosmart All-in-One C7280 series printer/fax/copier/scanner. I have been having issues with printing for the past few weeks. It is a wireless printer, with a jack into the wall (for fax) and it is plugged into a power source. I never used to have issues with it before, but recently, it won't print when I send a document to it to print. It will print its configuration pages, reports, etc if I select them from the Printer's menu but not when I send a doc to it to print. First it was saying it was offline, but I figured out how to override that by operating as an administrator and selecting "Use Printer Online" from the dropdown menu when I right clicked on the printer from the control panel. But now it says "Error: Printer failed to print document. System error".
Noooo clue what to do now. This is the only color printer we have so we kind of need it to work. We bought this printer off the shelf at a office store (before I started working here) and so we don't have any designated technichians to work on it. I asked the guy who services our Image Runner Copier to look at it but he had no clue what was wrong with it. Hopefully someone can help?

Deskjet 3050 Won't Print Wirelessly

Hi there,
My new all in one 3050 won't print for me. It is "Offline" in the network page. I feel I have explored every avenue and it will still not print. The wireless network configuration page I printed says everything passed. The home network disagnostic tool says "software missing" after i click test connection. The print diagnostic tool fails on connectivity everytime. I can connect to the printer ip 192.168.1.3 in the browser 95% of the time but not always. My router is a Zyxel P-660HW-T1 v3. I'm really close to tears with frustration, I'm quite computer and networking savvy but I cannot fix this. please help, I'd be eternally grateful.
Kind Regards,
