Why do i get lines when i print photos from iphoto

does anyone know why i get lines across my photos when i print them from iphoto to my HP printer. Photos are ok when i print from iphone or other? seems to have something to do with Iphoto??

Go to your imports for the last 12 months then click on view>sort photos by date, that should group them together. Click on the first picture in the group, then hold down your shift key then click on the last picture it should select all in between, then delete and empty trash.

Why when I print photos from iphoto are they grainy ? They did not used to be.

When I print from Iphoto they are grainy, they did not previously. In other programs they are fine, so it is not the printer,

What version of iPhoto? What are the pixel dimensions of the photos? what is the size of the print?

? about image resolution/color correction when apple prints photo book

My first time making a photo book. I color correct and sharpen all of my images in Adobe Lightroom 2 first. Then I save the jpegs and import into iPhoto to make a book. Is there an option for turning off auto color correction when the file is uploaded to apple for printing? Is there an accurate way to tell how the photos will print on the specific paper they use? Also, what print resolution should the photos be set to? Is 180 dpi enough? Thanks in advance.

first read the Apple pages - http://www.apple.com/support/photoservices/preparation_tips/ - and all of its links
Second - I suspect you will be disappointed. Based on reports on these forums almost everyone who uses iPhoto exclusively to preprocess photos is extremely happy with the results. very often people you over process their photos using a third party program (including Lightroom, Photoshop, etc) are unhappy because the printing process is optimized for point and shoot cameras and iPhoto processing - it is NOT a professional desktop book process
There are no options re color correction - it is built in again aimed at sRGB, point and shoot cameras and iPhoto processing
Plus there have been reported incompatibilities between iPhoto and Lightroom
The print resolution is what it is - if it will be less than 180 dpi you will get a waarning - it can be greater
The papers they print on are specified here - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3412

When printing photos, pictures are missing colors. ( example no blue sky, colors look washed out )

When we print Photos the colors are not clear and the blue is missing in the sky, Pictures look yellow , also sometimes lines appear in Photos. I already ran the cartridge cleaning .

Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system? It appears you are low on cyan (and/or light cyan depending on your printer model and what cartridges are installed.)

HP1050A only prints photos in grayscale

I have a strange problem with my HP 1050A all-in-one. It will only print images in grayscale. If I print text in colour, it prints in the right colour. If I print a test page, the Windows logo prints in colour. If i print a diagnostic page, the colours print correctly. If I print an image, it is always in grayscale. The "Print in grayscale" option in Advanced Printing Preferences is set to "Off". HP diagnostics can find nothing wrong, nor can Microsoft's Printing Troubleshooter.
Anyone here got any ideas about this?
I use Windows 7 64 bit on a home-built PC.

Hello @Gazdee,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see when you print photos to your HP Deskjet 1050A it only prints in grayscale. All other prints, print with color, test pages, documents etc.. The grayscale options are set to off. To better help you please leave me with the following information:
1. Which program are you printing photos from?
2. Do you get any error messages, on the Computer or Control panel of the DJ 1050?
3. What are the estimated ink levels for all cartridges?
4. Are you able to make a Color copy?
5. Are you connected USB or Wireless?
6. Have you ever been able to print color photos?
I would like you to run the HP Print and Scan Doctor > www.hp.com/go/tools

How to print photos in portrait and landscape from mobile phone

Hi there,
Have just set up my new HP Envy 5532 printer and am having a few issues with printing photo's from my mobile phone.
Could someone please let me know how to choose between portrait and landscape. Also, when I print photo's from my laptop, the settings let me choose which paper size to choose - does anyone know what a 6' x 4' print setting is?
Thanks so much and I hope I have made some sense with my questions!

Hi @Monkey-Nicks,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I gather that you would like to learn how to print pictures on your mobile device to your Envy 5532 printer.
You didn’t mention whether you are using an Android mobile phone or an iPhone so I’ve included the document for each operating system. If you would like more print options than what you currently have available, I would suggest downloading and installing the HP ePrint app. It gives you the type of options that you are looking for.

Wrong email address when sending a photo out of Photo app

Hi all,
when sending a photo on my iPhone 4 out of the photo app and selecting a "from" email address (like [email protected]), the photo get's sent through an email address (like [email protected]). The [email protected] is configured in the settings just as calendar, no emails, no notes.
This is so strange! Has anybody a glimpse of a notion how to get rid of this problem?
Cheers.

You can try resetting network settings then all settings. Goto Settings>General>Reset>Reset network settings or all settings. You will need Appleid and Wifi to reenter after reset. If that is not working then go settings>mail contacts calendars>tap account>delete. Now tap add account and reenter it.

Officejet 6500 E709n stretches printed photos

When I print photos, the pictures are stretched or elongated vertically under Windows Vista.

OK, there may be something else going on, but try this:
Remove the Ethernet and USB cables
Make sure the radio is on (may not hurt to reboot the router and printer, too)
Delete and add the printer under the Default tab - the one marked with Bonjour
Reboot the computer and try to print.

Dear All,
When I print some of my PO's using tcode ME9f, the PO again goes for Re-release. What could be the possible reason.

Pts. will be awarded.

Check your output program getting triggered when you are printing the output.
There could be some code written to do the activity you are talking about.

When I print a photo to my epson printer, it comes out larger than the original photo - so the photo prints beyond the borders. Tried readjusting all sorts of things but nothing helps. I had this same problem with my Canon. any ideas?

How can I get to the photo tray when using iphoto with HP C6280 all-in-one printer

How do I get the photo tray option to come up in iphoto from my mac notebook when I have an HP C6280 all-in-one printer

I have an HP all-in-one C5140. When I print from iPhoto the dialog that comes up has a "Presets" drop down at the bottom. One of the choices is "Print from Photo Tray." Is that there on yours? If not make sure you have the latest software from HP.

The photos in my IPhoto have all become mini-thumbnails and I can't open or edit them. When I print the image it comes out normal size. How do I get the thumbnails back to the standard size and be able to work with them?

What version of iPhoto and system are you running? On the guess that you're running the latest iPhoto, 9.4.2, Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the thumnails, Option #2.
2 - It may take 2-3 attempts so don't give up after only one attempt.

Photosmart 7510 not printing photo ink when it should, but using up all the other ink cartridges.

I'm printing photos, mostly black and white, and all my regular cartridges are almost depleted when I thought they were printing from the photo ink cartridge. I want the photo ink cartridge to be used and it still shows full. I had to run out and get new cartridges which is becoming expensive.
I have windows 7 and I use the Windows Photo Viewer to print the photos.
I need steps in how to set my printer properties so that the photo ink cartridge is used.
As of now, the way I look at it, it would be less expensive to go to Wal-Mart or a local grocery store and print my photos there.
Thank you.

Hi,
Photo ink is actually black and under normal printing (including printing photos) it can last 3 times longer than other inks.

HI, I have a Canon Pixma MG5250 printer and it doesn't seem to recognize iPhoto. All my photos are in iPhoto but I can't access them when the printer's 'photo print' box comes up. Any suggestions? thanks

Hi,
I have a Mac OS X version 10.5.8
I now have a Canon Pixma Printer MG 5250 and it doesn't seem to recognize iPhoto, where all my folders of photos are in the computer.
All other aspects of the printer such as scanning and printing documents are working. When I open the printer's
'photo print' box on my Mac, it cannot access iPhoto.
I would really appreciate any feedback and suggestions as to what to do.
thanks.

If you want to print a photo that's in your library you should do so from iPhoto. Select the photo, crop to the size you want to print and type Command+P to start the print process. In the Print window select the paper size and print size, printer and then click on the Print button.
