IPhoto printing 4x6 to HP 3210?

Hi all,
This sounds similar to other items I have found on these forums, but I still have not been able to solve, even after reading some old threads and trying steps from a post by Old Toad. I am trying to print from iPhoto 6.0.2 to an HP Photosmart 3210. So far I have tried:
1. Cropping the photo in iPhoto to 4x6
2. Going to Page Setup in iPhoto and choosing Borderless 4x6 for the Page Size
3. Going to Print in iPhoto and setting the Style to Standard Prints, Size to 4x6, and checking the Borderless box.
4. Even going to the HP Image Print software and trying to print from there.
Everything I seem to try results in the picture printing in one corner of the 8.5x11 paper from the paper tray, instead of from the photo tray on the photo paper.
Has anyone successfully printed to an HP Photosmart? If so, could you post the exact steps/selections you made to make it work? I'm stumped.

danbmich,
One other option that I have just tried successfully is to copy the photos back onto the memory card, put the card into the slot of the HP3210 and then print them off the card. The 3210 behaves as it should and accesses the photo tray with no hesitation.
I followed Old Toad's instructions in his response of June 15 to ddodge in this same forum: I replaced the blank memory card in my camera, connected it via ita USB cable to my computer, moved the 4 photos I wanted to print from iPhoto to Desktop and then from desktop to the camera icon on Finder. The whole process took less than a minute.
Hope this helps, but I still would like to print photo stock directly from iPhoto.

  • Iphoto 08 Will not print 4x6 borderless prints to HP 3210xi All In One

    Hi Folks,
    I've just installed Iphoto 08 and upgraded to the latest version 7.1.2. I've also just installed the latest HP 9.7 Mac drivers released to support 10.5.2 on 2/4/08. However I can not get Iphoto 08 to print 4x6 borderless prints to my HP 3210xi All In One Photo Smart printer.
    I'd appreciate any feedback/suggestions from anyone who is able to get Iphoto 08 to print properly.

    Jim:
    I don't have an solution but this printing problem with HD all in ones has been discussed many times. Do a search in this forum for HP All In One or HP 3210xi or other similar search terms and you'll find the various threads where it is discussed. I don't remember if a solution was found in any of them as I don't have an HP and didn't pay much attention.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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), 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 08 libraries 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.

  • Printing 4x6 photos on HP Laserjet 4630. photo paper tray not working?

    I am trying to print 4x6 photos on glossy paper.  My printer has a photo paper tray in addition to a standard letter tray.  When I specify 4x6 borderless glossy paper in the print parameters, the printer keeps pulling from the standard paper tray instead of the photo tray on top of the printer.  This has worked for me in the past, but I haven't used it in a long time.  What must I be doing wrong?

    Hey. I'm a photographer with the C4280.
    This printer takes care of 8.5 x 11's pretty much perfectly. But 4 x 6 not for me on iPhoto or Photoshop.
    So what I did was I set up a pages document with a blank template, set at 4 x 6 inches.
    I dragged rulers about .25inches in and threw in the photo set at 4 x 6 ratio. So... most photos are 4 x 6, just resize it to fit in the rulers.
    I've noticed in most occasions it cuts off the top of the photo document when laid out in portrait.
    What I do is a hit command p, select the printer but choose under the drop box that says "layout" i hit borderless printing, and a selectable box will show up saying "print borderless" and i just clicked it.
    on the document though you might want to make the opacity 10% to save ink. you have to trouble shoot the exact place to set and drag up or down the photo. but once you get it, its reliable the duration the document is open and the printer is on.
    i know its kind of pointless for one, but i had a shoot with live printing on the spot with this printer and its great. you can add texts boxes and put those perfectly where you want (once you set the picture so its set) and throw in another picture and really customize the 4 x 6.
    i printed a postcard with the writing already in it. just had to mail it no writing involved.
    you also need iwork 08 or 09. i have 08 but im sure 09 works. so if you save the pages doc as a template you can just drag in the image file into where the old image is and print that way.
    command p, choose borderless printing in the drop box and click print borderless. it should work.
    email me for a copy of my pages document. [email protected]
    i promise though, with canon or epson 4 x 6 print paper, its pretty amazing. almost comparable to my prints from my printer.
    or you can fit 12 3.5 x 2inch (business card sized) pics on an 8.5 x 11.

  • Printing 4x6 on Epson CX6600 problem

    Hi All,
    I have been printing 4x6 prints with no problem till last week. Now when I choose the 4x6 borderless option in iPhoto 6 the preview looks fine on the printer settings page but when I choose preview the photo shows up as a 4x6 on letter size paper and that is how it prints. Inserting 4x6 paper I get 1/4 of the picture printed on one edge.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Do you think this is an iPhoto problem or should I reinstall the printer driver?
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    Thanks, this did help me. The absolutely confounding thing is the print preview you see in the print dialog LIES. This scale to size option is a truly obscure setting nested in the advanced set under a pull down menu. I have never looked at it much less changed it. I have wasted HOURS of time on this simple problem which is quite frustrating as I am normally quite technically proficient.

  • Can't Get Orientation Right Printing 4x6 Photo

    I recently tried to print a photo from my HP digital camera using iPhoto to 4x6 photo paper on an Epson C88+ printer. The paper had to be inserted in the printer vertically, so the picture needed to be printed using landscape orientation. I cropped the photo to fit the paper and chose landscape orientation in the print dialog box, but iPhoto's preview box in its print dialog box showed the print using portrait orientation. I had to open the photo in Photoshop Elements 2 to print it correctly. How could I get similar photos to print correctly in iPhoto?
    Thanks,

    Emily:
    Did you set the orientation to landscape in the Printer Setup window before going to the Print window? Set you printer and then the orientation. In the print window again set the printer, paper to 4x6 (borderless if that's what you want), Style to Standard Prints and size to 4x6 one photo per page. That should do it.
    Do you Twango?

  • Printing 4x6

    Little backround
    I have a HP photosmart 8450. I switched from PC to mac and I used Bonjour to install printer.
    When I want to print 4x6 photos I chose the 4x6 option but in the preview on the left it shows 4x6 on 8x10 paper.
    I want to use my 4x6 paper that I have in printer.
    When I chose paper size 4x6 and want to print, it is not showing (in preview onleft side) and will not print.
    Not the program prview but the prview pane.

    rappa:
    Try this workflow:
    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, 4x6 or 4x6 borderless under Paper Size and the proper page orientation.
    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.

  • HELP Can't print 4x6 photos

    I have been trying off an on since December 05 to print 4x6 boardless photos from iPhoto with no success. I set it up and when it start to prints my printer tells me that I have the wrong size paper. I don't want to use 8x10 photo paper I want to use 4X6 paper.

Next put in photo paper 4x6 in photo tray and machine still said out of paper load more. I even tried to put 4x6 photo paper in main paper tray would not take it. I didn't have any success with the 8150 either.

  • How do I get my HP 2645 to print 4x6 cards. It gives me a mismatch paper size error

    How do I get my HP 2645 to print 4x6 cards?   It gives me a mismatch paper size error.

    Hi @aleek,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums! I see you would like to print 4x6 cards to your HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2645, when you attempt to print the card you get a 'Paper Mismatch' error.
    I would like you to go ahead and take a look in your User Guide on page 10, here it shows how to load the media and change the printing preferences, although it shows Photos, you would use the same guidelines and steps for the Index cards, just be sure to change the media type to the correct card you are using.
    Once you have the media loaded and settings set if you are still getting the error, continue here: 'Paper Mismatch,' or 'Paper Size Mismatch' Error Message Displays When Printing
    I hope this helps, if you have anymore questions please let me know.

  • Best way to prepare photos for iPhoto printed book

    Hello,
    I was wondering what would be the best way to prepare photos for iPhoto printed book on a Macbook Pro so to achieve the most realistic results to what's on the screen
    ie. which software should I use to change photos from RGB to CMYK, photoshop or iPhoto itself. I'm guessing maybe the autofix feature in iPhoto? (I don't have Aperture)
    Secondly, which monitor color setting should I set the screen at? I'm guessing it's either Apple RGB or Colour LCD, maybe even ColorMatch RGB?
    Any any other tips that people can give in achieving the most realistic results to what you have on the screen when your printed iPhoto book gets sent back. I don't want the mid tones to disappear or become too bright because the gamma and color settings were different to what they use at the other end.
    Many thanks.

    Hi,
    The situation has changed a little, our original photos are in RAW format and some of them are slightly over saturated in the higher tones.
    I've read on other threads that it is a good idea to run the 'Enhance' tool on all photos before sending the iPhoto Book away.
    Since iPhoto's 'Enhance' tools seems to do a lot of helpful things like sharpen, adjust the levels, etc it also seems to notch the contrast up and this would prove destructive for the lighter and darker tones not captured by the camera's dynamic range.
    So as I've been advised it's best to use Apple's own tools before sending the iPhoto Book away, so I'm going to download the trial of Aperture.
    Does anyone have any more recommendations on which monitor colour profile setting to use etc. I've also read that iPhoto prints best from JPEGS so the RAW will obviously need changed. Will Aperture automatically save to Profile name: Camera RGB Profile after I've done some editing there?
    What would be the best way to prepare RAW images in aperture where some of them might need an Image Overlay in Photomatix then imported back to Aperture for printing an Apple/iPhoto style Book?
    Many thanks

  • Can I order iPhoto prints from Malta?

    The options menu on iPhoto lets you select a print products store based on your shipping address.  Does this mean iPhoto prints are restricted to certain countries only, and will this feature be available in more countries in future?   Can I print copies from a UK store and then ship them to Malta?
    Thanks

    These are the countries that have Print Product Stores:
    You can try setting the store to the UK and order the book from there.  Often, however, the credit card used must has a billing address in the same country as the Print Product Store. But give it a try anyway.

  • Trying to print 4x6 photos on 7520, always gives no paper in tray message

    I am trying to print 4x6 photos from my laptop.  I have changed the preferences for the printer to "photo tray" and 4x6 photo paper.  I keep getting the message "no paper in tray".  The main tray is empty and I have 4x6 photo paper in the photo tray.  What next?

    the settings are correct.  if I put paper in the main tray it prints the picture on paper, not photo paper.  I printed a test page last night and it printed on the photo paper.  I still get the same message when trying to print the photo.  Thanks

  • Non standard format images from the iPhoto print service

    Can anyone tell me how to get the iPhoto print service to leave my images alone? They default to filling their 10 x 8 or 7 x 5 paper sizes. Nowhere on the order form do they tell you they're going to do this and I can't find anywhere to tell them not to.
    They also supplied the prints in neat card wallets with "Do not bend" in nice red boxes printed on them. These were then dispatched in a plain white envelope with no such notices on it. Not surprisingly the prints arrived bent!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. When you click on the Buy button the available print sizes that Apple provides are displayed and you have to fill in how many of each you want. There is no custom size available, at least here in the states. What size(s) did you select in the order window?

    Didn't you get a similar window over there?
    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 versions) database file and keep it current.

There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • IPhoto printing on Canon MP640

    I'm having problems printing from iPhoto using WiFi. The printed photo in no way resembles the preview: sometimes the prints are cropped, sometimes borders appear on three sides etc. However, when I use the USB connection, the prints are fine. I'm using what I think are the latest drivers (CUPS 10.30.3.0) - any suggestions why the WiFi connection should behave differently and what I can do about it? I'd prefer not to reinstall the drivers, as it took several hours last time and I still don't know what I did to get it right!

    The v10.30.3.0 driver is certainly the latest. Check that both the USB and the WiFi print queue are using the same driver version.
    What you will notice is that all the selections made in the iPhoto print dialog don't stick when you then get to the next print dialog window. But you should still see a preview of the image at this print dialog and it should still look complete. If you don't see the image, ensure you click the triangle next to the printer name to see the print options.
