- iPhoto won't print entire image -

I'm running '11, 9.2.2
I've tried all the print settings & sizes, and I am not able to print an entire image. The image is always cropped, usually quite severly. 5x7 or 8x10, major crop. Only contact sheet setting shows full image. I have to move an image to Preview to print an entire image.
What am I missing?

Obviously if a photo is larger than the size you are pirnting then something has to give
You can crop to the target size prior to printing so you control the coprring or you cn print and after making the setting on the first screen click customize and right click on the image(s) and select fit to frame to add white space fill so the entire photo prinbts

When I try to print an jpeg or png from Photoshop all it does is convert the image to a PDF & plop it on my desktop- it won't print the image. Any suggestions as to how to fix this?

Yes, the printer is on, it’s selected in Printer Set-Up & I’ve never had this problem before. It’s definitely a Photoshop issue as every other type of file prints fine. I’ve uninstalled Pshop & am now reinstalling. Hope that will do the trick.

Iphoto won't print. Never had a problem before.

iphoto won't print. I get the spinning wheel. Repaired disk thinks I have Epson...? I have HD and a Canon. Can you help me?

Go to the System/Printers & Scanners preference pane and remove the printerd that str there. Then add it back and try again. If that fails try what's discussed in this Apple document: OS X Yosemite: Reset the printing system

How to default Preview/Finder to print "Scale to Fit Print Entire image/Fill Entire Paper"?

Hello all,
I have to print PDFs. Preview or printing directly from Finder prints scaling 100% and many many times the edges of the PDFs are left outside of the printing area. I have the correct paper size selected (A4) and actually the PDFs are also A4 but for some reason 100% zooms in a bit and cuts the sides of the print outside.
I can of course fix this by selecting Scale to Fit and Print Entire Image but I do have to do this every single time I open a PDF. I want to make this option my default! And preferrably so that I can use CMD+P from Finder to print directly without having to open the PDF. I already know what is in it...
I have tried different Terminal tricks I have found searching the web but no luck, this and others with Preview closed before executing the command
defaults delete com.apple.Preview PVImagePrintingScaleMode
Please help and make my life easier. Cannot be this hard.

I got a work around for this. Instead of using RTF template, I used Microsoft Excel itself as template and did the formatting in excel.
thanks,
Vijay

IPhoto won't print in portrait mode

since upgrading to yosemite, iPhoto won't print in portrait mode; it automatically prints everything in landscape

Printing entire image in 4x6

I can't seem to print an entire image in a 4x6 print -- as soon as I select anything smaller than 8x10, it crops my image automatically and won't let me zoom out or move the frame using any of the built-in print options. It's like iPhoto just won't scale down the image that far. Any ideas?

If you want to print the entire photo onto a 4 x 6 stock you must select a custom size that is less than 4x6 but has the same size ratio or your original image.
For instance if your photo is 1600 x 1200 that has a ratio of 4:3 or 1.333. A 4x6 image has a ration of 1.5.
Therefore select a custom image of that's less than 4x6 that has a size ratio of 1.333. That will fit the entire photo on the stock you've chosen but will leave some white space around the photo.
Here's a photo that has a size ratio of 1.337. Printed standard as a borderless 4x6 you'll get this:
But if you select a custom size of 5.35 x 4 which is a size ratio of 1.337 you'll get this:
So it can be done but just required a bit of math.

Apple AirPort Express - HP LaserJet M1120 won't print entire document

Hi,
My first post. I've recently purchased Airport Express and installed all necessary programmes (incl. Airport Base Station Agent and Bonjour print service) on my Win 7 Ultimate x64.
The device is set up as "Join a existing network".
Airplay works without any issues, but printing does not.
I've also installed the driver for HP LaserJet M1120 printer.
When I send something to print (regardless of the file), it won't print the entire document. Usually, it prints smaller documents (up to 10 pages) normally, but when it comes to larger documets it prints only half of the document.
I send 30 pages document to print and it prints only 15 pages. Then I need to re-send print command and again, it prints only half - 7 or 8. Printer just stops.
Sometimes i get "Error-printing", but not always.
This issue happens on all 4 PCs that I have at home all running Win 7 Ultimate x64 or Win Vista Home Premium x32.
Any ideas?
HP Print Diagnostic Utility did not find any issues also. Says everything is OK.

Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. In addition, the AirPort's USB port does not support the "advanced" printer functions, like scanning, copying or faxing, of multi-function printers.
To see if your printer is compatible, take a look at thisiFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility link. If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
Also you can try this Apple Tech Support article to see if it will help: Printer troubleshooting for AirPort Base Stations and Time Capsule
Finally, check out this IBM support article to see if your printer is listed as having a Postscript or PCL3 interface. If it does, then it will most likely work with the AirPort's USB port. Printers that use the "HP LIDIL" interface must be connected to a computer directly and will not work.

Having trouble with iphoto, will not print full image

Having trouble with iphoto on my laptop and desk top computers. On laptop will not let me print full image and having trouble getting correct rotation to print
On desk top printing too dark and cannot get correct rotation there either, seems like the problem just started recently

Ronleedek-
What App are you using with the microphone? I've used Skype, which has a "test call" feature to check your microphone.
There is a good chance your microphone is defective, possibly disconnected inside the iPad. If an Apple Store Genius can not fix it, you may get a new iPad on the spot.

IPhoto Doesn't Print Full Image

Odd problem here. I'm having trouble printing my images at 100%. For some reason that I haven't been able to troubleshoot, when I try to print an image from iPhoto, I lose a half inch or more of the photo around the edges. This happens whether I choose 'borderless' or not.
When I bypass iPhoto altogether and use my printer software, this cropping issue doesn't exist, but I prefer some of the options iPhoto offers.
By the way, I'm running Mac OSX 10.5.8-haven't yet updated to iLife 09.
Any suggestions?

Since your image is probably in the 4:3 size ratio (from a digital camera) you will have to select a custom size in iPhoto's print window. If you're printing to 4x6 borderless stock select a custom size of 3x4 or 4x5.33 (to get the max size on the 4x6 stock.
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. 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 or later), 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. 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 won't print

This issue began a more major problem in which all of my wife's pictures disappeared. That's been solved, and the pictures are back. In order to keep that thread from becoming too long and complicated I'm reposting in this new thread the original problem.
A couple of days ago my wife did the automatic update to iPhoto 6.0.6. Following that it ceased printing on our Epson Stylus CX4200. Other programs print normally; it is only iPhoto that has a problem. I have downloaded all the latest drivers from Epson, but it hasn't helped. My own two computers also won't print from iPhoto, though I haven't updated their drivers.
I just identified that it will print 8.5 x 11 paper, but it won't print 4 x 6 photos.
iMac G4 + PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I didn't get any replies to this problem, but eventually I was able to figure out the fix. I'll post it here in case someone else runs into this problem.
The printer instruction manual (PDF file) explains how to delete the printer drivers and reinstall. It also explains how to delete and reinstall the program that controls the scanning function (that had also quit working). When I got through deleting and reinstalling everything worked again.
Downloading updated drivers from the company that made the printer often fixes this kind of problem, but not in this case. Reinstalling the older drivers that came with the printer did the trick.

IPhoto won't "see" some images on iPhone

Hi
Strangely and all of a sudden (or at least I think) iPhoto detects that I have images on my iPhone but won't let me view them. When I right click all the fields are greyed out too. Instead it just shows dotted lines around them. If I open image capture - it detects jpegs but won't view them. If I use image capture to download the images to my desktop, the files are perfectly normal and I can then then drag and drop them into iPhoto which again, will treat them as normal as usual.
The only common factor with these files is that they are taken with hipstamatic or modified with swankolab; some are also wallpapers from 10,000 wallpapers app. I don't have this problem with photos taken with the camera.
can you please advise?
Thanks

I went to the hipstamatic site and discovered that its a problem affecting quite a few people. Customers apparently seem to be caught between Hipstamatic and Apple - both passing the buck onto the other to the detriment of customers:

Printer Won't Print Certain Images

I just got my new HP Envy 114 printer this week and have only now gotten to setting it up. While it took some time to set up the wireless and web services, all of the networking issues were eventually resolved. My current problem is that, whenever I have the device print out a web document, there are certain key images it doesn't print. I know this isn't an ink level issue, as both black and color levels are near full. I was wondering if there might be any print settings, or settings on my browser, that might prevent said images from being printed. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Wait; wrong forum. Please ignore this post.

Hi,
Which browser are you using ? Can you see images on the Print Preview screen ? Depening on your setup in your browser, background images won't come out.
Regards.

IPhoto won't print in portrait

When i select a portrait photo the preview on the right shows the correct orientation, but when i click print the full print preview (and then the printout) has turned to landscape trimming the top and bottom off the photo. This has only happened since Yosemite.

That means the problem is in your account. It could be a corrupted preference file other than iPhoto's that's interfering with the printing. Here's how to test for that:
Trouble Shooting Preferences
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If you're running Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
1 - close all applications.
2 - open your Home/Library folder and Option-drag (copy) the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
3 - select the contents of your Home/Library/Preferences folder and drag them into the Trash bin in the Dock. You will be asked to provide your Admin password.
4 - reboot. Be sure to know your account's username and password as you will be asked to log in with it.
5 - run the application again and determine if the problem(s) is fixed.
6 - If the problem is fixed:
A - open the working Home/Library/Preferences folder.
B - Open the Preferences folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Home/Library/Preferences folder.
C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace or Skip button.
D - reboot.
7 - If the problem is NOT fixed, drag the contents of the Preference folder on the Desktop into the Home/Library/Preference folder and replace the entire contents that were created by clicking on Replace.
8 - reboot and you're back as square one.
Note: keep the Preference folder on the desktop until you're sure all registration info for your apps are working. If not you can copy the required files from the desktop pref folder to the working one.

IPhoto won't print - no themes...again

Hi,
I've done a search for this one and it can't be the first time it's come up but I can't find the precise description anywhere else so here goes and hope someone can help...
I've got an iMac and a MacbookAir, both bought with OS Snow Leopard installed. Now both are running OS Lion and both have been upgraded to IPhoto 9.4.2.
The iMac runs iPhoto fine, no problems.
The MacbookAir suffers from the printing problem noted by many others, can't print as there are no themes installed.
More of an aside but the Macbook Air has my working iPhoto library on it, all backed up etc, but I want to transfer this to the iMac soon so that I can use the MBA more as a mobile editting tool for new or occassional images, then load these onto the iMac in iPhoto.
However, really want to be able to print from iPhoto in the MBA, especially for those things that need a review or quick print before transferring. I've seen many threads suggesting I need to re-install the iPhoto that came with the computer - ok, but these are on discs and my MBA doesn't have a DVD drive - and anyway I don't think that version is compatible with OS Lion.....so might not even be able to reload this from the App Store 'hidden purchases' option (which I can't find btw).
Anyone got any suggestions on how can I fix this ?
Thanks.

Hi Larry,
Thanks for the tip but unfortunately I can't see any software other than iPhone Apps on the App Store, and can't see beyond 18 months in the Apple Store.
Maybe I should have noted (in case this means the software wouldn't be logged on the Apple store anyway) that both iMac and MBA were bought from an independent Mac seller, rather than direct with an Apple store, and that I used Migration Assistant via a Firewire to USB lead, to transfer the software and files between the two computers. As said above, the software on the iMac was installed at the time I bought it and, although I have the start up discs, the iPhoto on them is compatible with OS Snow Leopard - not OS Lion now running on both machines.
Thanks.
