HT2452 I am unable to print my photos ??? but i can print a "test" page without problems.

I am having problems trying to print photos on my IMAC, I can print a "test page" from printer without any problems and have been able to print pages off without problems??
when I try to print a photos my photo page comes out blank

This could be an issue with the size of the image you are printing and the printers available memory. Although your printer may support up to 64mb or more of data, you may be getting a size error.
This has occurred with many of the printers at the facility I work at and the only work around we have figured out thus far is to resize the document. This does reduce the quality of the image.
Quick question. Are you printing directly to the printer through its IP or are you printing through a print server?

Cannot print from computer but I can print wireless

I just connected this printer and I cannot print from my computer but I can print wireless from my phone.

Hello dfreed,
You can try some simple steps:
Power your printer off.
Unplug your router, and your modem.
Plug your modem in and allow it to power on fully.
Plug your router in and allow it to power on fully.
Power your printer on.
Refresh the HP ePrint Center site and verify that your printer has a status of "Connected" and "Ready".
Some internet providers' modems are not always the most friendly to power off and on, so I understand if you need to skip that step.
Please post again if any steps need any elaboration.

HP Solution Centre reports unable to start as printer not installed; but I can print!!!

My Officejet Pro 8500 A909g suddenly stopped working. It was connected to my HP Pavillion dv9700 by wireless and has been for the last 6 months or so. My laptop is running on Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit. I have made no software or hardware changes since I last used the printer; just a few hours ago.
I can now print again (having run through all the steps listed below), but can no longer use the HP Solution Centre to run any tasks as it reports that it 'cannot run because the device installation is not complete'
In order to get back to printing, I did all the usual of shutting everything down...computer, router and printer...all to no avail.
Then I downloaded the latest printer software from the HP site (OJP8500V909_Full_14.exe) and first ran the uninstall section of that software; removing ALL of the HP software from my machine.
I used CCleaner to remove all traces including those from the registry as well.
I uninstalled and re-installed the software.... 3 times. (at least it gave me a chance to catch up on reading a good Terry Pratchett book)
Each time I varied the conditions relating to my antivirus... Kaspersky. First by leaving the AV running; then by switching off the AV and switching on the Windows firewall; and then finally by switching off both the AV and the Windows Firewall.
On each occasion, during the installation, the software 'finds' my printer on the network; reports that it is installing, but when it gets to the end of the installation and moves on to the part where it reads 'configuring the printer', it gets stuck and after waiting for some time with the green progress light moving from side to side, nothing further happens.
I have downloaded and run various 'help' bits from the HP site ; HPHNDU.EXE and HPPDU.EXE and printed the test pages from them as well as printing from Word and Adobe pdf; so there is now no problem in printing.
Now, when I run the installation software again without uninstalling, depsite inputting the IP Address of the printer, I still get the error message that no printer could be found on the network?????
What have I missed here??
Thank you

One very important place to remove the other software is in the "server properties" in your printer folder. You need to click on your printer icon in the printers folder> then look for "server properties" , click it> go to drivers> remove all instances of your first printer you originally uninstalled. For some reason the drivers get hung in this and have to be removed in order for you to configure your device- Let me know of any questions

I can't print in firefox, but I can print in internet explorer

I've tried the prefs.js fix with no luck. Any suggestions on how I can fix modzilla so I can print within the browser?

Hi Bigggtommy, you wrote:
<blockquote>When I click print (top left) it says "an error occurred while printing"
</blockquote>
Do you mean you can't even call up the Print dialog from the File menu without getting an error, or is that after calling up the dialog and clicking OK?
When you select Print from the 3-bar menu, Firefox should call up Print Preview. So neither method is working for that.
It seems that Firefox is having a severe issue with reading some metrics from your printer driver or has some other setting or program problem.
In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

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?

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what happens when you try to print?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
what model printer?
how much free space on your boot drive?

When I print on photo paper it only prints in black and white. How can I fix this?

When I print on photo paper it only prints in black and white. How can I fix this?

Does it print correctly on plain paper?
What do you do differently to print on Photo Paper than to print on plain paper?
iPhoto has no idea of what paper is being printed - that is totally a function of the printer and the print driver supplied with the printer - you need to look at the printer specific options and your printer manual and/or support forums

JimHess~ Many thanks. In my short history with LR, it's amazing how many people I've seen ask this question. I'm nearly embarrassed at how simple the fix was, but grateful that you didn't dismiss such a basic question. You made my week. And my friend's photo album...

I I am trying to create a collage with 4-6 photo so I can print them on one sheet. Can this be done in IPHOTO?

Here are 3 options for future reference:
1. With the setup you've described, apply a Match Move behavior to the text and make the rectangle the source. Change the Transform parameter to Mimic source. This way you can still adjust the text postion as needed, but the rectangle will drive the animation.
2. Use a group to do the animation. Put both your rectangle and text in the same group and animate the group's postion.
3. Use the Link behavior.
Each of these has it's advantages depending on what you need.

Why will my HP6510 not print to photo tray when I print directly from my computer?

Why will my HP6510 not print to photo tray when I print directly from my computer?
I am able to print to the photo tray when I print from a memory card, inserted directly into the printer. However, when I try to print a picture saved directly to my laptop through my wireless connection, the picture prints from the main tray. If I take the paper out of the main tray, I get the out of paper message. When I first bought the printer, I had no problems with this issue. The printer is about 2-3 years old. I have gone into the HP software on my laptop and set the preferences for photo tray, along with the size I wanted and the photo paper I was using. By the way, it is HP photo paper. I have also done the same on the print screen on my laptop. In addition, I have gone into preferences on the printer itself and chosen "Prompt for photo tray." I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the HP software on my laptop. I successfully printed the "practice picture" during the reinstalling process. None of this has solved the problem.
I have no problem printing a document from my laptop wirelessly to the printer.

Hi mountainnana,
Thank you for your response, sorry the guide was not what you were looking for.
Here are some other suggestions:
Open the HP Solution Center (icon is normally on the desktop.) Click on Set Preferences, Click on the Paper/Quality tab, for the Source choose Tray 2, choose the right paper size and media type. Click Apply, and then OK. Then try printing your photo again.
If that does not work there could be a driver/software conflict happening. If that is the case please try our HP Print and Scan Doctor.
Otherwise, proceed with a uninstall and reinstall of your printer software using the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
Hope this solves your issue, and have a good day!

I need a special tool just to access my own photos?
I suggested "Find any File" because it is easier to use than the Finder's search - the results there will depend, on what you have included in your Spotlight index.
To search using the Finder, open a Finder window; press the key combination ⌘F, and then set the search window to search "This Mac" and "Kind is 'Photo Library'"
Only, if the library should have become corrupted, this may not work. And the search will not look inside the packages.
The whole iPhoto library directory is only 556 MB so I guess the videos are lost for good.
How is the "Importing > Copy items to the iPhoto Library" flag set? See my last post.
If you imported with "store files" in there original location, the photos and videos will have remained on the card, until the crad has been erased.
Is there a way to start iPhoto from scratch so at least I can start over and have it not destory all my data next time?
You can create a new iphoto library, by using the command "File > Switch to Library > Create New".
Is there way to import my photos and videos without using iPhoto?
You can use the utility "Image Capture", that comes with every Mac to import your photos to folders on your Mac.
This program is horrendous!
I never had problems with it and like it, but I understand ....

All my photos in the iphoto have disappeared, not sure if this related to any iphoto upgrade or other issue, tried to find the photos through the finder (JPG or photo) but failed, can you help me to get back my photos please?

Help us to help you: There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance. (And no, more exclamation marks do not get help faster or make your issue seem urgent. They just make it seem like you have a stuck key )

PS CS4 wants a printer installed even though I can print some files.

I have PS CS4 on Windows 7. I can print some files but not all. On the ones that I can't print PS is telling me I need to install a printer 1st even though I can printer others. I have tried to rasterize and/or flatten the files and it still says the same thing. I have created a new preferences file, by renaming the old in my program files, and it still does the same thing. I have also printed the same photos in Microsoft Picture Viewer. So, the printer can see the file and print it. It's a Brother MFC 9460cdn. I've used the troubleshooting guide thus far and done all i thought or seemed pertinant - except.... As a newbie, I've not not figured out how to create a new file to copy the rasterized, or layers for that matter, to a new project. I can't seem to figure out size settings and duplicating. These are files that came with a business and for some reason only about half will print the other are stuck needing a printer installed...LOL
Please HELP
Thank you,

Hi timcasey-
I recommend you read this Support article on troubleshooting printing issues:
