CS5 not printing actual size

I'm using CS5 Extended. I have a canvas size of 8.4x10.95 that I print on 8.5x11 portrait paper. The Scale to Fit Media checkbox is unchecked, and the Scale field is 100%. The printer dialog is set to borderless.
When printed, the image seems to be enlarged by about 1/2 inch, cropping top and bottom.
Need help!
Thanks

You may not be scaling in Photoshop, but with Epson printers, if you choose any Borderless paper size the Epson printer driver is going to enlarge the print job slightly to extend each side past the edges of the paper. The slight enlargement may not be noticeable when you're printing a photo that isn't tightly cropped, but it can be very obvious when you're printing a design with specific dimensions. Like the greeting card that's shown.
You'll probably get what you want if you choose the non-borderless version of the paper size, which in this case seems to be US Letter.
If you wanted to take a closer look at it, the Epson printer driver lets you customize how much it enlarges. The screen shot I added shows the setting in OS X; I forget where it is in Windows. But as you can see, if you choose borderless you can't avoid scaling entirely. To achieve borderless printing it has to have some way to ensure that the image will be bigger than the paper.

Photoshop CS5 not printing actual size?

I have created a document in photoshop sized 8.5x11, the same size as my printer paper, at 300dpi. I am using the ruler guidelines onscreen to make an image 6 3/4" wide, but it is printing out too small at 6".
Please note that I am not measuring onscreen by putting an actual ruler up against my screen, I am using the photoshop ruler (so I am sizing according to the 6 3/4" ruler in photoshop, even if it is 8" on my screen)
In the print settings, I uncheck "scale to fit media" and "center image".
What am I doing wrong?

post a screen shot of your process.... it sounds right, but i bet we can catch something in your documentation of this process
thanks

How do I print a complete document in PRINT ACTUAL SIZE setting?

When I select PRINT ACTUAL SIZE for a document spanning 3 A4 pages it only selects, displays and prints ONE A4 page...see screenshot below

I don't see the screen shot. Screenshots can only be uploaded when you are using the forum version here and not via email.
It's also helpful to supply your version of Adobe Reader, OS, and any other info that might be important.

Document not printing full size

I am a new pages user, and I am creating a magazine for an english class. Two out of four of my articles do not print full size, even though the paper size is set up and everything else seems to be full size. When I look at print preview, the article is shrunk down and I have no idea how to go about fixing this.

Kurt,
I'm not implying it's a bug. I recognize that it's a "feature." But I'd like to be able to print my doc without having to first turn the Comments feature off. It would make a good Preference selection. But I also like your idea about the warning.

Cannot print actual size when choosing several pages per paper

I'm using Adobe Reader XI and trying to print a pdf (exported from InDesign)´where each page is in A5 format. I want to print two A5 pages for each A4 paper. However, when I click the button Several (or similar, I'm using Swedish version) there is a fixed 25 mm margin around each A5 page so that the pages are much reduced on the printout. I'd like to print actual size, and I think this was possible in a previous version. If I print one A5 per A4 paper I can print the actual size. I tried the button Print Format (equiv.) but the margins are fixed and cannot be changed. Awkward. Thanks for help or explanation why this is so.

I have a little more information. I turned on "single hairline" border and as you can see, it's converting my square pages into "US Letter" pages BEFORE applying them two-to-a-page. So it's using my selection of "Paper Size" as both the source and destination paper size, rather than just the destination size, because my source is obviously 12x12 square (confirmed by looking at page properties in preview). Apple, please fix this

Printing actual size on custom size paper on OSX 10.9

Hi,
I just updated my computer to OSX Maverick and I have problem when printing actual size document on a custom page size in Acrobat X.
I want to print a 5.5" x 8.5" document on a 12" x 24" paper sheet size. I want my document to be centred in the paper at is actual size. When I select the paper size in the Page Setup... and the "Actual size" option, I have the right preview but once it is printed, the document is Fit to page.
I have updated my printer driver and I am able to print my document correctly if I open it in Preview.
I also have the same problem when printing in Acrobat on other printers.
Can anyone help me resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance.

I have the exact same problem, please let me know if you come across a solution for this and i will do same for you.
My PDF"s print to the correct size when printing using preview, so this is my temporary work around.

Be aware that while the Maximum size for plain paper is 210 x 297mm,
The largest supported Photo Paper is 203.2 x 254 mm, as you may find listed within the product specification's Paper Types and Sizes section:

Can't choose what part of image to print when printing actual size.

I have a pdf file that needs to be printed out to actual size, since the image is a temlate for a part that I need to cut out. Since the actual size is bigger than the paper size, it shows a purple box in the preview box, indicating what part of the document it's going to print. The first time I printed the image, it let me slide the box or the slider below, left to right to select what part of the document on wanted on the paper. But, now it's just locked in place. I'm not sure what changed. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I'm using Windows 7 Pro 64bit, Adobe Reader XI. Printer is a Canon MP495.

Francine, thank you so much for the tips. It took me over two months but I finally got around to trying to take care of this.
I tried your suggestions in order. Steps 1-3 did not fix the problem, but reinstalling from Pacifist did (thank goodness!). Wish I had tried that from the get-go.
Thanks again to everyone for all the suggestions.
There are a couple of things to try:
1. If you haven't done so lately, try Disk Utility
and Repair Permissions. Won't hurt, it's quick and
easy, and there is a remote possibility that it will
help. It actually does occasionally fix something
strange like this.
2. Go to http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ and
download the COMBO 10.4.8 updater (it is huge, like
148MBs) and run it, then Repair Permissions again.
3. Restart and hold down the Shift key when you hear
the startup chime. This will force the computer to do
a Safe boot. When you see the splash screen saying
"Safe Mode" release the Shift key. The boot will take
longer than normal as the system repairs the disk,
empties font caches, and disables startup items. Not
sure if Image Capture will run correctly with some
Apple startup items disabled, but you can try it.
Restart normally afterwards.
4. You can download Pacifist here:
http://www.charlessoft.com/
It will extract things from your Install disk so you
can install only what you need, in your case Image
Capture.
My Image Capture has never had a problem, so I'm
afraid all I can recommend is these general
approaches. Hope one of them helps.

Printer not printing correct sizes of photos

Canon Pro9000 for some reason does not print photos correctly. I have made all the correct changes on the page setup and no matter what size I choose it prints only a small size photo. If I choose 11 X 14 it prints a photo 7 1/2 X 6. No matter what size paper I choose. It prints well in Easy-PhotoPrint but not in Lightroom 1.4.1 It worked fine before the driver update for Canon Pro9000
System I'm using is:
iMac 24"
2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Printer Canon Pro9000
Adobe Lightroom 1.4.1
Thank You,
Mike M.

Had the same problem with Lr 3 and Canon Pro9000.
Flicked the stroke on and off again - for no reason except someone said that worked. Then I used zoom to fit and it worked.
Which is stupid. I am so sick of having to be in problem solving mode all the d**m time.
Next I'll work on the Wacom driver which freezes in Lr3 from time to time - with a complete lack of consistency.
I wonder why software works so badly these days. Shareholders don't care?

Jewel case inserts are not printing full size

Hi all,
This might be a more appropriate topic to one of the general forums, but I thought I'd try here first...
I have a color printer (Lexmark z23) hooked up to an old PC, and wanted to print out a color copy of a jewel case insert. (I only have a b/w laser printer hooked up to the Mac.) So I used the print command in iTunes but saved it to PDF instead of printing. I then emailed the file to myself to get it to the PC... but when I printed the PDF, the jewel case insert was "shrunk" slightly. It's not the right size for a jewel case anymore. I even tried "printing" (to PDF) on the Mac at 105%, but then it gets cut off at the edge of the page.
Is this a printer problem or an iTunes problem? Or a problem caused by the backasswards way I have to print the things? I really don't want to have to buy another program just to print darn jewel case inserts. I don't need anything fancy, and the iTunes printing options would suit my needs just fine.
Any help much appreciated!
Erin

Yes, Apple have done it YET AGAIN. Stuffed up the printing like they did in 11.0 and recified in 11.1. It is the coding error they had before, and fixed but now must have put the old coding back. Great customer service yet again (NOT!) - clearly programmed by a genius???!!

Printing Actual Size

I bet this gets asked a lot.
I have downloaded a PDF document which all 30 pages measure 67.26x47.68 in which is "HUGE"
I would like to know if it is possible to do a multi page print out on A4 paper whilst keeping the same size as the actual document?
I have an Epson Stylus photo R300 if that helps
I need the scale to be totally precise as these are plans for a large scale model aircraft

This topic is related to http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b6ec7f,
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b62e07, and
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b78379.
I have the same problem. I wish to seemlessly print a 45 cm X 45 cm (17.71" X 17.71") image (a board game template) onto several pages while retaining the correct board size and line-ups.
It is frustrating that such an obvious option is not available. The multiple pages per sheet option is great, but AR9 needs an multiple sheets per image option as well.
Sorry, I do not have a solution for you. Hopefully, Adobe will work on this soon.

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.0 will not print SRA3 size paper

I created an Adobe InDesign file 320x450mm (SRA3) and saved it as a a High Quality PDF. However, when I print from Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 with SRA3 paper size settings, it defaults to A4 and the printer will not register the SRA3 paper size request. The tech from Canon updated the printer driver which increased print dialog options such as Paper Handling, Paper Source etc. (which I didn't have before) and spent over an hour running tests. We both agreed there was a software issue since there were not issues from other software:
I can print SRA3 files from InDesign and Microsoft Word, but not Adobe Acrobat Pro.
This is an ongoing problem since I often receive artwork in PDF format at this size.
My workaround is to place the PDF into InDesign, line up the crops by eye and print to SRA3 paper which works fine until I need to do a double sided print which becomes slightly innacurate and often time consuming.
Canon printer driver specs:
V2.0
iR-ADV C5045/5051 PS (UK)

What happens if you select other paper sizes? Also ensure that 'choose paper source by PDF page size' is not checked at your print dialog.
Kindly let us know your results and if possible please forward us your pdf at [email protected]
Looking forward to help you out.
Thanks

Photoshop CS5 not printing correctly

I am trying to print a jpeg from Photoshop with no luck. I get a thumbnail sized image every time. One thing to note, if I use larger paper the thumbnail scales up.
HP Compaq 8100 Elite running Win 7 Pro x64 SP1
Adobe Photoshop CS5 patched to 12.0.4
Xerox Phaser 7760DN PS
Any help would be appreciated. Trouble shooting steps have included adjusting every print option I could find.

Xerox Phaser 7760DN PS
Well, PS stands for PostScript and there are multiple language levels/ versions of it. If the driver allows, choose a more compatible older one, e.g. level 2 in favor of level 3. Similarly, the printer itself or the driver may offer means to control how specific sub-sets are interpreted, for instance with regards to font handling. Such printing errors often come down to "bad" PostScript being misinterpreted by the printer. If all else fails, also look whether you can install it with PCL emulation or similar wit ha different driver. That may also work...
