Help! Printing with iPhoto 4 x 6 on new HP Photosmart 8150

This is my 1st time attempting to print a 4 x 6 from iphoto ever....not as easy as I thought it would or should be. I selected the picture in iphoto I wanted to test print it on a the free 4 x 6 paper that came with the Photosmart 8150. The knob was set to borderless
It printed with like 1 1/2 margins on the 4 x 6 photo paper.... The photo printed and looks like a thumbnail or 2 x 3! I tried again and messed with the advanced settings same thing happened. I am responsible for teaching 30 teachers how to use this printer with iPhoto and currently am terrified...Help!

Ok I figured it out but I was amazed at all the extra steps I had to go through....
here is the link for the directions

Borderless printing with iPhoto/Canon iP8600?

Does anyone know if it is possible to print borderless photos with iPhoto? I have a new Canon iP8600 that features borderless printing, but I've not been able to get it to work with iPhoto. The paper options for borderless printing are there, but the borderless popup dialog brings up a single greyed out option.
Any ideas from someone who has this printer (or the 8500)?

The post must have expired. Here's a step by step process that works fine with my Canon i850 and Epson R200. It's pretty generic.
<blockquote?<i>Steps for printing 4 x 6 prints from iPhoto:
1 - crop the photo to 4 x 6 beforehand in iPhoto.
2 - in Page Setup select your printer, proper page orientation and paper size as 4x6 or 4x6 borderless
3 - click once on the picture you want to print to make sure it's selected.
4 - now click on the Print button in iPhoto.
5 - in the iPhoto print window, select your printer again, select Style = "Standard Prints", Size= 4x6 and click on One photo per page.
6 - click on the Print button.</block

Problem to print with iPhoto and epson stylus photo RX620

I asked a question about the print with Iphoto. Larry gave some explainations but it still doesn't work. I can change the reglages with Safari, with Mail but not with Iphoto. So when I try to print photos, the reglage is standard and the result is bad. I would like to change the reglage, if i use glassy photo paper. With my PC, I have no problem to print with window or picassa. Thanks for your answer.

First I have no idea in the world what "reglage" is
But what ever printer specific options are available are supplied by the manafacturer's print driver and these are available on the last print window

I have Mavericks installed. Cannot print with IPhoto because there are no themes

I cannot print with IPhoto because it says that I do not have themes. How do I install themes? JL

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Only black an white prints with iphoto 6.06

Hi,
i got a problem with iphoto 6.06 since it won´t print color pictures. My screen shows it in colors, but when it comes to the printing job only black & white pictures will come out of my printer. Every button or mark is set on color before printing. My printer is a Lexmark X4950. At the printer itself the button for colors is also marked. I can print pictures or photos in colors out of the Apple preview program or others like Adobe Photoshop. Only iphoto does this kind of trouble.
Does anybody have a hint or an adviceß
Greetings Hank

Tom:
Can you see the card and photos using Image Capture? Also did you try wiggling the cable to make sure there's not an intermittent connection somewhere.
After updating to 6.0.6 did you repair disk permissions? Give that a try and if it doesn't help try reinstalling the 10.3.9 COMBO updater followed by a repair of disk permissions.
Do you Twango?

Problems with borderless printing with iPhoto '08 and HP Photosmart Printer

I am trying to print borderless 4x6 photos on HP Photosmart C6250 (same as all HP C62xx Photosmart printers). I am using the HP 4x6 photo paper with the perforated tab. When I select the paper size, I specify Borderless 4x6 in/10 x15 cm (tab). According to the printer manual, the tab should be facing out. I have tried printing with tab out and the tab in. With tab in, it printed the picture leaving white space at the other end equal to length of tab. With tab out as printer specified, it left a white gap at beginning of photo (not as wide as tab) and printed the photo over the perforated tab.
Anyone else figured out how to print using the 4x6 paper with tabs. I also tried printing from the HP software included with the printer and it has issues, too. So, it might be an HP problem, or is it maybe a Mac printing issue with this printer.
Thanks for any help!

This is a shot in the dark but take a look at the following topic. It might just help. As they say, any port in a storm.
Topic : iphoto won't print properly to HP photosmart
It does seem like a bizarre solution however. Good luck.
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. 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 now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Printing with iphoto'08 and HP psc 1215

Please help ! I'm french. A friend of mine has gotan imac Intel, iPhoto 08' and a "all in one" printer HP psc 1215. This printer works perfectly with lots of applications such as Mail, Word, Safari… but not with iPhoto 08'.
When he chooses a photo and clicks on "print" at the bottom of the windows, nothing appears even if he uses the menu "print". I've tried to delete the iPhoto.plist and relaunch iPhoto without any success. Even if i repair the authorisations on the disk and restart the mac…
Could someone help me ?
Thanks.

Check this discussion: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1187721&tstart=0 It looks like the installation of iPhoto was not complete. This issue happens if the various Printing and Book themes were not installed.

Why can't I get a border-less 4x6 print with iphoto 5

I always seem do get borders on the sides of my pictures. I have done the 4x6 page set-up and the constrain to 4x6 suggestions. When I click 4x6 in the print menu it say the photo won't print. When i click one photo per page I get the borders on the sides. What do I do next?
Len

Hi Len!
You can try this and see if it helps.
Open iPhoto > select photo to be printed... iPhoto > File > Page Setup, make sure you have your printer selected and you should be able to select borderless 4 x 6 as a paper size (if in UK you can try A6 but that's slightly smaller than 4 x 6) and make sure you select correct orientation. Hit OK (I think this is the most important step)
Now go to Share > Print, make sure your printer is selected, from here click on ADVANCE button, again make sure correct printer is selected, go to "Paper Handling", select "Scale to fit paper size", it shoud list 4 x 6 borderless, UNCHECK "Scale down only". At this point you're done telling iPhoto you want a borderless 4 x 6
From here you need to select Paper Type & Quality and Borderless from the drop down menu (depending on type of printer this may vary slightly but it should be there)
Now hit PREVIEW button and see if it looks right - Print (if not hit cancel and start again, you can print a borderless 4 x6)
Good luck, after the first few it gets much easier

Please help me with iPhoto.....my memories are gone.

I wish I knew what happen....I am using a MacBook Air OS X Lion 10.7.2 and iPhoto 11 9.2.1. I had over 7000 saved in iPhoto, most were scanned in and separated by an adobe program but others were from my old PC. I just bought and external hard drive to back up my photos to after I was finished and went to save some new photos to my library and I have no clue what I did but all my photos are gone. Went to my local Apple store and they suggested I purchase Data Rescue (which I did) but I have no clue what I am looking for and I am seriously sick to my stomach if I lost all my memories. I am hoping someone can help. And I have tried the alt option while opening iPhoto, it shows 3 iPhoto libraries but it only have 1 photo in it. Thank you.

first I got a message that my startup disk was almost full while they were importing.
How big is your HD and how much free space on it?
Then, no more pictures were importing, but the number at the bottom telling how many pictures were left to import was scrolling very fast
Not sure you're doing that correctly.

Issues printing with iPhoto after installing OS X 10.10.2

After working with 2nd and 3rd level Apple Support I was able to print photos using iPhoto after installing OS X 10.10.2. I have an HP 7520 all in one ePrinter and the latest Yosemite driver have been installed. When I tried to print a photo using iPhoto the application would hang and I had to force quit to continue. Apple support was able to identify the problem. The iPhoto application had an outstanding print job listed in the Recent heading on the left side of the screen, I do not know how this happened, but after clearing out this print job I was able to print from iPhoto. The Apple Support person said I could avoid this problem by hitting the cancel button located near the print button on the bottom of iPhoto, after any print activity had finished. He said this was a known problem when using iPhoto and Yosemite.

EW,
Kernel Panics here on the same model. My problems started after the recent Firmware Update for Airport and Airport Expresses (7.6). No other new software installed besides the Firmware Update and they are occurring daily.
I haven't seen any remedies yet....

Urgent help needed with iPhoto/pdf preview for book order - mysterious pixelated areas show on PDF but not in iPhoto

Hello. I ordered an iPhoto book last week to give to my parents for their 50th wedding anniversary. Tonight, I just checked on the order status and found that my book is cancelled. I received no notification about it, and all I could do was fill out the online form, so customer service will get back to me on Monday via email (if I'm lucky...). There is no telephone number for me to call about this. I decided I'd best do some searching to try to figure out what had happened.
I had thought that the preview I saw in iPhoto was the preview of the book. I found out I was wrong. So I created a PDF preview of the book and found some craziness that I don't understand. In iPhoto (and any other program, i.e. PhotoShop), my photos are fine. They are mostly TIFF format and high resolution with a few high res JPEGs. However, when I view the PDF, there is a band of black and white pixelation about 1/2-inch across the bottom of some pages - not all. The photos in that area are messed up in that band zone. The other photos are totally unaffected. This affects both TIFF and JPEG photos, and both black and white and color.
Has anyone else had this problem, and what was your solution? I would be extremely grateful to anyone for advice or information about this! The anniversary party is less than a week away and I'm beyond my limit of stress right now...

Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new library. Import enough photos for a book (use some of those in the current book) create a new book and preview as a PDF. If you don't see the problem then it's limited to your library which may be damaged. If that's the case make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot and the option to rebuild the small thumbnails.
Click to view full size
If you get the same problem in the test library then log into another user account on your Mac, create a test library and try it there. If the problem shows up there a reinstall of iPhoto is indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,

If you don't encounter the problem in the other user account then it's something in your account that's the culprit. Post back with the results.

Tried adding borders in custom setup to see if by chance it would make a difference but unfortunately it didn't make any difference.
I believe that the problem is connected to the profiles. I know that a problem exists with the combination of computer OS, printer and PS CS4 which is addressed on luminouslandscape.com
http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/solving.shtml
This work around allows for printing without a profile but does not allow for printing with a custom profile assigned.
I can print the exact same file with the settings I normally use using CS3 and it prints perfectly. I know it is also not the file itself, the same
happens with any file sent to the printer using PS CS4.
Of interest as well, Illustrator 4, Indesign 4 all also print without a problem.
So now what exactly is your problem? Not being able to print from PSCS4 or double profiling when you do print?

Can't print with just one black ink cartridge on HP Photosmart C309a

I have a relatively new HP Photosmart all-in-one print-scan-copy-fax, C309a. There are 5 ink cartridges, 4 small ones in black, yellow, magenta and cyan, then another XL black cartridge. Today the small black cartridge ran out. I ordered all 4 of the small cartridges. Apparently the small black one is called "photo black", the XL is something different. All are HP 654 ink. Anyway, here's what I don't get: There is still plenty of ink in the XL black. So why can't I print? I even set it to print in only gray-scale, using only black ink ; also set it to always print text in black. But when I print a page comes out barely visible, or blank. Print Test & Diagnostic Test comes out the same way.
In another post I read that some printers can't function of one of the inks is dry, even if you don't need that ink for what you are printing. Is that the case here? I tried the online chat for technical support & could not get anyone. Also e-mailed tech support & got a less than helpful answer in very difficult to understand broken English. Just need to know if there is a way around this, or do I just have to wait for my color cartridges to be delivered? Thanks!

I would like to know the answer to this also... I have a brand new black ink cartridge but my photo black is empty yet when I print it still tries to use the photoblack?

Ordering Prints with iPhoto 9 (iLife '11)

Can anyone tell me if the version of iPhoto (9) included with iLife '11 still supports ordering prints? Thanks for your help. Best regards, Dan

Yes. But I would update the version installed by the iLife 11 disk to the latest version of iPhoto 11 which is 9.4.3 for running your library. A number of fixes and changes were made between 9.0 and 9.4.3.
