How to set default paper size in iPhoto?

iPhoto selects a paper size seemingly at random, and I can't find any way to set the default to letter. What am I missing here? I don't have this problem with other applications.

Hi Frank,
Thanks for the additional information.
This bug was originally fixed in 9.0.4 but seems to have been broken again somehow in 9.0.5 and 10.1.2, so I have opened a new bug for it. The bug number is 4032412.
The good news is that this bug does not exist in the 10.1.3 Developer's Preview which will be available very soon! and it also allows you to set the page orientation of the diagrams from within Tools | Preferences.
Thanks for reporting the problem,

  • How to set the paper size when printing to postscript...

    I need help in setting the paper size in the PrintPreference when using either the Postcript File or Adobe PDF printer to generate ps files.
    Here's what I am doing (in c++) and I seem to be getting only 8.5x11 no matter the document page size:
    LPDISPATCH p_Dispatch = Document.DocumentPreferences();
    p_Dispatch = Document.DocumentPreferences();
    if(p_Dispatch)
    DocPreference docPreference(p_Dispatch);
    pgOrientation = (idPrintPageOrientation)docPreference.get_PageOrientation();
    pageW = docPreference.get_PageWidth();
    pageH = docPreference.get_PageHeight();
    paperSize = docPreference.get_PageSize();
    docPreference.ReleaseDispatch();
    p_Dispatch = Document.PrintPreferences();
    if (p_Dispatch)
    { PrintPreference printPreference(p_Dispatch)printPreference.SetPrinter(idPostscriptFile);
    printPreference.PrintFile(outfile);
    printPreference.SetPaperSize(paperSize ); /*I have also tried idCustom but it crashes with invalid parameter for the object type.*/
    printPreference.SetPaperWidth(pageW);
    printPreference.SetPaperHeight(pageH);
    VARIANT vprinterPresetType;
    vprinterPresetType.vt = VT_I4;
    vprinterPresetType.lVal = CInDesignApplication::idCustom;
    Document.PrintOut(FALSE, vprinterPresetType);....
    So how do i pas the document paper size to the print preset or preference?
    I appreciate your input.

  • CR 2008 SDK: how to set custom paper size?

    Dear forum users, I'm trying to use Crystal Reports 2008 SDK to print barcode labels to a Datamax Printer.
    The printer uses a custom page size. Can anyone tell me how to set custom page size and margins using C# and CR2008 SDK?
    Best regards
    Alessandro

    I'm experiencing this problem: I need to print barcode labels which are 4 x 9 cm each (a custom paper size). The report has been build correctly, orientation is right but when I print the labels programmatically by an application I made the label gets printed in a wrong way.
    In particular, orientation and paper size are not correct.
    So I would like to try to force both of them (both the orientation and the custom paper size). How can I do that?
    Best regards

  • How to set default paper direction

    I would like to reset the default paper direction. After having the default be a portrait direction for several years, things suddenly changed and now all applications automatically print in landscape - with the exception of Word for Mac. I mostly print in a vertical orientation and it is a pain in the neck to have to go into Page Set-up for almost every email, web page or picture that I want to print.
    I would like to change that default back to portrait, but can't seem to find where to access making that change.
    I made an appointment with a Mac Genius, but he was not familiar with where or how to access this particular default. Hope someone in this list can help.

    You've made my day! It never occured to me that this default would be hiding behind Pages Setup>Settings. I just saw the Settings>Page Attributes and never notice that up/down choice button.
    Thanks so much. this will save time and frustration

  • How to set the paper size for scan import

  • Change default paper size on Preview when printing

    When I open the print window on Preview (ver 7.0) to print a .pdf file, the default paper size is always A4, which I never use; I use US Letter instead. Is there a way to change the default paper size to US Letter so I don't have to change it every time I print or forget completely? I tried looking under Preview preferences, but no luck.
    I use my MBP in the Japanese language (in Japan they use A4 as main paper size), but I live in the US. Is this the cause of this problem?

    Having the region set to Japan will have set the default to A4 but you can change it by opening Printers & Scanners and changing the setting "Default Paper Size" from A4 to US Letter.

  • How do I set the print and paper size in iPhoto 5

    Can somebody please help. How do you set up iPhoto 5 so that you define both the the size of the print and the photo paper you use?
    For example, I wish to print a 4.5cm x 3.5 cm photo on 6x4 (or 15cm x 10cm to keep all the units the same) paper.
    I've seen a post saying how to do it in iPhoto 8, but the drop-downs are different.

    I do not remember the locations in iPhoto 5 but there are probably three places to mess with
    1 - set the paper size
    2 - set the print size
    3 - set the paper tray for the printer to use that has the paper size that you set in step 1
    these may be in the print sequence or under the file menu as page set up (or similar). If these are not obvious try the Help menu

  • How do I set "US letter" as my default paper size when I open a document?

    I'm using Adobe Reader 9.5.5 and Mac OS 10.7.5.
    Every time I open a PDF that's been emailed to me, Reader thinks it's US legal size, 11" x 14". Printing the document becomes a mess, unless I first remember to go File > Page setup > Paper size > US letter.
    I'd like to be able to set US letter as my default paper size when I open a document. Can anyone tell me how to do that?
    Thanks in advance,

    I am replying to my own question. I learned that if you right click when trying to open a PDF, you are asked which app you wish to use to open the file. If you click on Get Info, instead of choosing an app, you get this great information box which gives you the option to set Adobe Reader as your default app for PDF files. It even allows you to change all the pdf files you already have to Adobe Files. Yay.

  • How do I change the default paper size for printing?

    I am running Firefox 3.6.3. Recently, the default paper size for printing unexpectedly changed to a user-defined size of 3.00" x 4.57". It used to be letter size (8.5 x 11). The default paper size is 8.5 x 11 for everything else. I have tried changing the size in the preferences dialog box and then clicking "default", but after I close Firefox or if Firefox opens a new window, the default size switches back to 3.00" x 4.57". Does anyone know how to fix this?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == About 2 weeks ago

    In "mine" dutch firefox 3.6.12 there is no option to change paper-size see
    "about:config" Promise to be careful (and be!) Enter "print.postscript.paper_size" gives a empty screen
    "paper_size" gives a few results
    What about the numbers 4259872, 4784247 and what is the meaning of
    paper_size, paper_size_type , paper_size_unit

  • How do I change the default paper size in Firefox if Printer Properties does nothing?

    I print on different including a receipt printer with roll paper.
    I had to reset Firefox yesterday because of a bug, and then changed the Printer Properties to be able to print again in the right format on the receipt paper. But now everything I print from Firefox (even when I change the paper size to Letter on the Printer properties for the regular printer) is in the receipt paper format (long and narrow.) When I do Print Preview, I can see that the paper looks like the roll paper, even if I'm trying to print on letter size.
    I tried resetting both printers with about:config, I tried changing in the printer properties for both printers and nothing works.
    Is there a way to change the default paper size in Firefox?

    Hello,
    My understanding is that Firefox uses the global printer settings. I am not familiar with the Windows 8 interface, but can you change the printer settings in its Devices and Printers and see if it changes the default for Firefox as well?

  • How create Default Paper Size of 6" X 9" in Print and Fax System Prefs

    I would appreciate help in creating a Default Paper Size of 6" X 9" because this size is not listed among the options for Tiger's Print and Fax in System Preferences. I mainly use my imac and Epson Photo R200 printer to print 6" X 9" formatted pages on 8 1/2" by 11" sheets created in MS Word. But without an Apple default for a 6" X 9" custom size, I run into all kinds of formatting problems, including the making of PDFs. My friend has a Windows machine that does have the 6" X 9" among its options, and she has no problem producing the results I am after. Thanks for helping!
    imac G-4   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    You should be able to create a custom page size with these dimensions in the Page Setup Dialog (under Paper Size). After creating it, use the "Save As Default" under the Settings menu.
    Hope that helps.

  • How can I select paper size while in print preview ?

    I have a printer with four different paper trays, and each one is loaded with different size of paper: A3, A4, Legal, envelopes. When I use IE 11, I can easy go to print preview, click on page setup (little gear icon), select paper size , margins, etc.. there, and when i hit OK, the page is adjusted to the settings I selected and its ready to print, and printer selects the proper size of the paper automatically
    In Firefox v32, I can almost do this same, but I'm stuck with printing only on A4 style paper, as I don't see where to select the paper I want to print on !
    I tried to select A3 and legal paper in the printer driver, but then firefox used the selected paper, but printout on the paper came out as set to A4 size, and rest of the page was empty ! Also I was not able to see the page preview of the selected paper either. How do I then print on other size papers than a4 ?
    I found only one workaround which does not suits my needs but works: First: Go to printer driver and select legal or A3 paper as default, and then open firefox. If I do that i can print on any paper I select, but thats a horrible workaround, because then I often forget to change the default paper size back inside the printer driver, and i print my documents on wrong paper, wasting paper, ink and time...
    Please let me know if there is a way to fix this printing feature somehow.
    Thanks.

    MichalB,
    Sorry, IMO there is no real "fix" for what you are experiencing. Printer prefs set or changed in the operating system won't affect Firefox printing ''[IMO, either ancient code in Firefox or a "cross-browser thing".]'' Firefox has its' own settings for prefs and it defaults to the "last used" for all printer preference setting. And there is no way to set a pref as "use now and return to my defaults after this print job is completed".
    As you have found out, there is no way of changing paper size from the Print Preview screen. Other prefs - Margins & Header/Footer can be changed via Page Setup and you can see changes in the Preview window, but not for paper size. As ''CoryMH'' mentioned, '''paper size''' is selected thru what called the "native print dialog" box using the '''Properties''' button which shows a window provided by your printer software for the Printer which is selected in the "native print dialog" window, and accessed after you hit the Print button in the Print Preview screen.
    Problem is that you can't '''"preview"''' what is going to be printed when you change paper size. If you go back to Print Preview without printing from the "native print dialog" the change for Paper Size isn't saved for viewing in Print Preview!
    IMO, it would be nice if Firefox recognized each "tray" as a separate printer, so that a user could set Margins & Header/Footer prefs AND paper size per tray. IOW, a feature sort of writing a completely new print module that would reflect "today's" environment with multiple tray printers; rather than to continue using the print module that was built by Netscape back in '94 - '95, which we are stuck with almost 20 years later.
    ''As I sit here shaking my head after composing this reply, wondering why the issues I had back in 2002 with printing from Firefox / Firebird / Phoenix haven't been corrected in the last 14 years.''
    ''I do like "old stuff", and have a vehicle sitting my driveway that rolled out of the showroom 30 years ago come October 1 - a 35th birthday present I purchased for myself. [85 Corolla GTS TwinCam coupe - aka Sprinter in GTA] But as far as computer software, I prefer it to be compatible with hardware made in this century.''

  • Default paper size in page setup

    I have 3 different printers, each with specific paper sizes. My HP C3180 uses letter size only. My HP Officejet pro K850 uses tabloid (ledger) size only. My Toshiba e-studio 20s has a tray for letter and another for tabloid. My problem is that when I set the default paper size in page setup, it changes the paper size for all three printers! How do I set a different default paper size for each individual printer?

    Thanks. I'm really disappointed that apple had to dumb-down Leopard. It really makes it difficult to use my macs in the office. I hate to say it, but score one for the PC on this one. I'm really frustrated, and this will definitely affect future purchases (Apple, did you hear that?)
    Thank you.

  • Default paper size in Numbers

    The most common paper size in Mexico is US letter not A4. The Numbers App in my computer is confused and sets it to A4. This may be because my region is Mexico, or because I use a Spanish keyboard. How can I tell Numbers to change to US letter as the default paper size?

    Hola Jose,
    Open any application with direct access to Page Setup (in the File menu), for example. Text Edit.
    In Page Setup, use the Paper Size pop-up menu to choose US Letter:
    Then use the Settings pop-u menu to choose Save as default.
    The default setting should now apply to all applications accessog the Print dialogue to print.
    Regards,
    Barry
