Image size not printing correctly on paper

I am creating a simple flyer on my mac using MS PowerPoint. I know not the ideal software to use for this, but its a very simple flyer and I know how to use that software the best. My problem is every time I try to print it, the size printed gets all out of whack or edges are cut off.
For example, in my software, my document size is 8.5 x 11" and in the print dialog I am also choosing 8.5 x 11 paper. I know that my printer will NOT print anything closer to .19" from all edges of the paper (I guess would be called the printer margin), so in my document I am sure not to place anything within those print margins. When I try to print it, in the preview of the print dialog (and if printed) the top and left edges are lined up correctly/with the correct margin, but the right and bottom of the page are largely cut off. And I don't mean that the "image is too big for the page" kind of cut off, because its not. I mean that the top and left margin are the correct .19" but the right and bottom are around 1.5" or so cutting off the image there.
Here are things I have tried to correct this problem:
I have checked every margin setting possible and they are all correct/normal.
Checking the "Scale to fit" option in the print dialog shrinks my entire image where nothing is cut off, but then all margins are too big for my intended appearance.
I have opened the same PowerPoint document on a PC in my network and printed, and everything printed correctly.
I saved the PowerPoint document as a JPEG, opened it in Preview and on screen it looks fine, but when I open the print dialog from within there, I get the same problems; right and bottom cut off, and scale to fit's margins are too big.
Any suggestions on maybe something I missed, how to correct this problem, or why I am getting this problem?

You should make sure that your printer is selected in Page Setup, rather than the generic Any Printer. You may need to look for it in Options... when you choose it in PowerPoint.

  • Colorized Grayscale Images Do Not Print Correctly

    Hi, we're having trouble getting proper color output when we colorize grayscale TIF files in InDesign.
    We have just a couple basic grayscale TIF files, no transparency, saved with or without embedded profiles (Dot Gain 20%).
    We add a foreground and background color to these in InDesign (CS3) using process colors (no spots). These colors should, and need to, match a couple large swatches of these colors elsewhere on the document.
    When we check the colors using Separations Preview, the numbers on the light and dark parts of the image are identical to the process colors they should be. They look correct on screen (with or without Overprint Preview).
    We usually print using 'Postscript Printer Determines Color' and let our RIP determine color settings (we have a Doc12 w/ Splash RIP). We tried many different settings on the RIP, no luck. We also tried printing using 'Let InDesign Determine Colors'. No luck. The colors are just slightly off. (ie - 0, 30, 100, 0 looks almost like pure yellow, much brighter).
    If I export to a PDF and print, it looks correct. If I make a CMYK version of the photo in Photoshop and use a gradient map to apply the same colors, it prints correctly.
    - ANY IDEAS???
    Thanks a lot.

    Hmm. We've always had much better color when we allow our RIP to handle the conversions. We've setup our RIP with a custom profile that we print to that gets color closer than using pre-canned defaults on the paper we're using.
    I did try using 'Let InDesign Determine Color', though, and still had the same issues.
    Thanks, though.

  • HP Photosmart premium not printing correct colors or contrast on photo paper.

    My HP Photosmart Premium does not print correct colors or contrast level on photographs using photo paper.  This happens with using most any application and setting the paper type to one of the photo papers...  By using MS PhotoAlbum and selecting the photo tray then forcing "regular paper", I can get a somewhat decent print (this trick only works with MS PhotoAlbum).  When I setup to any of the "photo paper" types, I do not get correct colors or contrast levels (even if the print preview looks good).
    I have the same issue with 8.5 x 11 inch photopaper.  Unless I select "regular paper" as the paper type, I get incorrect color and contrast (even if the preview looks good).  The ICC "Color Profiles" look to be OK (at least the titles are correct).
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Try the troubleshooting steps in this page.  My bet would be the Photo cartridge (the black with the bow tie symbol) is out of ink.  This is only used when photo paper is selected, for plain paper printing the regular black cartridge is used.

  • CR2008 SP5 Labels not printing correctly

    Hi,
    I've got an issue were labels are not printing correctly to a Zebra printer. I'm using Crystal Reports 2008 SP5. The problem is the width is 10cm and the length is 7.5cm but Crystal is automatically changing this to landscape orientation which doesn't print correctly then. From reading older threads, a lot of people have had similar issue but according to this thread - CR 2008 V 12.3.0.601 Labels will not print correctly the issue should be resolved in SP5 but it's still not printing out in the correct orientation despite the print preview looking perfect.
    I've tried checking the No Printer option and the Dissociate Formatting Page Size and Printer Paper Size option and pretty much every other option I've seen mentioned but I still cannot get the label to print in the correct orientation. Has anyone succesfully got this working?
    Thanks

  • 11x17 tabloid does not print correctly

    I am using an HP Photosmart printer model 8550, my previous printer was an HP Photosmart 8750. That printer died and the 8550 is the newer model of the same printer. When trying to print an 11X17 document in tabloid, the page does not print correctly nor does it show in preview mode correctly. The page shifts to the upper left corner so that the left side and top of the document do not print. If you scale down the size you can get it to print the whole documentm but you cannot get it to use the whole 11x17 page. Anyone else with this problem and a solution? Thanks!

    I am having a similar problem.  I have windows XL,
    and a hp Deskjet 9800.  I have been using PM 6.5 ever since it came out.  I publish a newsletter using tabloid fold in half, under booklet.  So it is a really a 4 page document.  It has always done fine until this week.  It prints the copy in reduced format that would fit on a 8 1\2 x 11.  I have tried every setting possible, with no success.  Today I downloaded the trial 7.0 version, it does the same thing.  I went back and printed old versions that a 3 & 4 years old they won't print right now, either.
    It's old software and new operating system/printer drivers. You are unlikely to get any help from Adobe or HP but you can try.
    Create a PDF and print that as it's unlikely the DeskJet has PS mode.
    BTW, booklet printing is far easier with ISO paper sizes.
    Move on up to InDesign while you can still get a big discount with PM Licence number.

  • Slideshow images will not display correctly on mobile phone

    Hello,
    I have a website which I used several slideshows, in areas I would typically just used a rectangle and fill with photo.  This was done because my client wants to be able to update the images through business catalyst.  Unfortunately, when viewed on a mobile phone (I am using iOS 7) the slide show images do not display correctly.
    What can be done to fix this?  Is there another workaround I should try?
    Thanks!

    Hi Nicole
    The images that you are using on parties page are stretched , if you check the image frame you can see that.
    As a result the image frame is stretched over the side image , they are not showing properly. If you resize from Muse end , then also it would not be fixed because Muse remembers the image size as you have inserted and when viewed , Muse stretches the image to original size as how it was inserted.
    Please resize the images outside Muse , use any image editor like Photoshop and then use the exact dimension of the image frame on page.
    This would resolve the issue.
    Thanks,
    Sanjit

  • Added text & signatures do not print correctly

    I am using Acrobat Reader v10.4.4 on my iPad Mini with IOS 6.1.2 and am having issues printing. I can open any PDF and have it displayed correctly. I can add text and signatures and the document is saved correctly because it can be opened after the changes are made and they are still there. When I try to print the document where I have added text and signatures to, the document does not print correctly. All of the text and the signature are shrunk to a very small size and appear in the lower left hand of the page.
    I depend on my apps to work they way they should and having this issue makes my work very hard. I have to be very creative and perform unnecessary steps to get my PDF's to print the way they should. Does anyone have some insight in to this bug?

    Hi,
    Thanks for reporting this issue. We would like to investigate this issue at our end and if you could share one such pdf file in which you are facing the issue at [email protected], that would greatly help us.

  • Red not printing correctly

    Hi, 
    The printer is aHP Officejet 6700 Premium.
    The red color is not printing correctly it is printing as a maroon colour. All other colours seem okay. No error messages are appearing.
    I have run the clean printhead pgm and no change.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Couple of things come to mind.
    First, obviously, make sure it is a Geniune HP cartridge. I have seen other ink that is a little off in color. 
    Second, make sure it has nothing to do with the paper you are using. Print a test page (if you haven't already) on normal white paper, not photo paper or something else. 
    Third, if you have a features tab in the printer preferences, make sure in the color management field, that it is not set on some custom color profile or application controlled setting.
    Hope that helps.

  • Colors not printing correctly. Only blue and black work.

    I just got a new HP OfficeJet all in one inkjet 8620 printer. The colors aren't printing correctly. Everything comes out light blue with black lettering. I tried installing new cartridges (genuine HP) and also tried gently shaking the cartridges. But the problem persists.

    Hi @Iolanthe ,
    I see that you are experiencing issues with the colors not printing correctly. I would like to help you resolve this issue.
    I have provided a document with some steps to try to see if that will resolve the issue.

    Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. Make sure it shows just the printer's name.
    Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen it should show the printer's name. (Officejet 8620)
    If the full printer name isn't listed correctly, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
    Let me know how the printer name was listed.

  • Upgraded to CS5 Illustrator form CS3 Illustrator. Colors are not printing correctly in CS5

                                                I have just recently purchased CS5 Premium Suite.  I am working with Illustrator.  When I print my CS3  Illustrator files in CS5 the colors are not printing correctly.  Is there a way to fix this problem

    I've been doing more troubleshooting since I wrote this post. I've now tried printing from a non-Adobe app and I'm getting the same margin error. So it is definitely a Xerox issue and I have a tech coming out on Monday.
    The reason I originally figured it must be an CS5 issue is because just two weeks ago when I was using CS2, our landscape-oriented programs were printing with .25" margins as they should. Then last week after upgrading to CS5, the inside page (2nd page) was noticeably out of whack and shifted to the right (not left). But when I started trying to troubleshoot this week, everything started shifting to the left.
    The only thing different between those two weeks was the fact I updated to CS5.
    But obviously, my printer as decided to go to crap in more ways than one all in a two week period. Hopefully the tech can sort it out next Monday.
    Thanks!

  • PDF will not print correctly from any app

    I seem to keep on getting the same error everywhere I print on SL (from safari/firefox/preview etc etc)
    It will usually print any lines or logos but miss all text?? I did have the dreaded adobe reader installed but have since removed it?
    I am in urgent need of printing out some manuals for a class so in real trouble, help!

    Where do these PDFs that do not print correctly come from? Are they downloaded from the internet or from email? Or do you create them yourself on your computer? If so, in which program?
    Do some PDF files print correctly, but not others? Did you remove the dreaded Acrobat Reader before this problem developed or after? Did this problem develop only after you ungraded to a certain release of Snow Leopard or has it never worked in SL?
    PDF is wonderful technology, but every so often there can be issues.

  • Printing on HP P1505 not printing correctly yet Explorer 9 works on same web site with same printer.

    I have download the latest software for Firefox and the HP P1505 printer, but the pictures within the web site print correctly. The text information is not printing correctly. Lots of spaces and the font is a mess. You can read the text information, but it is all over the page. Firefox did print with no issues before 4.0b12. It always worked with the version 3 of course. I really do not want to go back to 3 as 4 is better except for this issue.

    This is a known issue in Firefox 4 beta 12. You could wait til' the RC comes out, or you could grab one of the latest nightly builds availible here that fix this problem: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/
    Just a note though, nightly versions of firefox are generally less stable than betas or releases. I am waiting for the Release Candidate to come out myself. (Should be early next week)

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro X 10.1.7 (Mac) does not print correctly.

    I have a Mac Pro (Model 1.1) with Adobe Acrobat X 10.1.7.  When an item is scanned, it appears correctly on the screen, but it does not print correctly.  I am sending along screenshots of what a scanned item looks like on the screen and then what prints.

    Thanks Michael, have tried that, no luck. I will wait a couple of days to see if any other solutions come up (or if anyone else is suddenly having the same issue) before reinstalling Acrobat.
    [OK just tried sending a PDF attachment directly from another program (MYOB) through to Mac Mail and had the same problem so it is not an Acrobat issue afterall, it is a Mac Mail or Mac OS X issue. Will post this on the Apple site.]
    I have resolved the MYOB issue, it was working just painfully slow. So I still have the original Acrobat Pro PDF to Mac Mail issue if anyone knows of any solutions please?

  • Some images do not print when in printed documentation

    I have been encountering this problem for over a year now...
    I maintain over 20 projects in RoboHelp HTML. I have numerous
    printed document layouts defined. However, in what appears to be
    random situations, some of my images do not print. They display
    online just fine, but they are not visible in the printed
    documentation. Only a blank gap displays where the image should
    display. And there is no conditional build tag applied to any of
    these images. The reason I think it is random is because, if I
    perform the following test, the images print just fine:
    - duplicate the printed documentation layout
    - remove, from the duplicate copy, all of the pages
    surrounding a page that contains an image that does not print
    - generate the duplicate copy

    I had a similar problem with missing images. I never really
    solved it, but it (apparently) went away. One thing which helped
    was ensuring that none of my images had filenames containing
    spaces.
    In addition, selecting Link images rather than Embed can be
    useful; missing images are then replaced by a red cross which makes
    it easier to locate the problem.
    Also, in Word, you should uncheck Tools > Options >
    Print > Update Fields (that is for Word 2003).
