IPhoto won't print., iPhoto won't print.

When i try to print i get the message
"No available themes- There were no themes located. Untill at least one theme has been installed, this feature will be unavailable"
I haven't hearad that one in relation to printing before!!
I can export the image and print it from Preview, but that's not the point.
I recently updated to Lion 10.7.2 and iPhoto version'11 9.2 and reinstalled ithe update, but it wont have it.
Whats happening here

If the "Themes" problem arises in OS 10.7.2 Lion, Apart from the fact that User library is an invisible file now, Old Toad's solution still holds good.
In my case, I had to trash the iPhoto application and the Themes folders and reinstall from my original iLife 11 disc which gave me iPhoto version 9. The updates are available from Appple Support Dowloads and note that iPhoto has to be updated to version 9.1 before version 9.2.1 will work.
The pictures library is unaffected by the reinstall
If you need to see the User library, a Widget called Hidden Files will make it visible.
Thanks for the heads up John Hammer1

I'm trying to place an order for 3 iPhoto Albums, but the system won't take the billing address. I'm in Costa Rica and will send the albums to an address in Miami. Can't find any support live chat for billing issues.

You need to use a credit card with a billing address in the same country as the delivery address. Since there's no Apple Print Store for Costa Rica I assume you're using the United States print store. Therefore you'll need a credit card with a billing address in the US.

Printing iPhoto cuts off right side of photo without editing?

When I try to print a iPhoto that is on screen full size it will chop off the photo on the right side without any editing when i do preveiw before printing. i have tried a few different things to try to correct but still same outcome.

I can confirm your issue with both iPhoto 9.4.3 and 9.5.1. Croppijg a photo to 3.5 and trying to print to 3 x 5 borderless will crop a bit off oif the right side of the image. I've confirmed that the pixel dimensions are for a 3 x 5, 1:1.666 but it won't fit into the 3x5 layout.
I checked it out with a 4 x 6 in iPhoto 9.5.1 and got the same results. When the print process begins it's the original image that is brought into the print window instead of the cropped verson.
Cropping with an external editor does let you print to the exact print size selected.

Printing iPhoto '06 books in iPhoto '08

I've got a small problem here. Over the past couple of years, I've made a few very important books in iPhoto--wedding and honeymoon photo albums, to name a couple. I've had them printed and given copies to the family, with great results. But when I upgraded to iPhoto '08, it looks as if they have become unprintable. Viewing an 'old' album, I notice the following odd behaviors:
1) The usual strip of available photos or page layout thumbnails is not visible along the top of the window.
2) The format of the books, all previously hardcover, seems to have been changed to paperback.
3) Buttons along the bottom, like 'themes,' 'layout,' and 'advanced' do nothing.
4) Most distressing--when I click 'Buy Book' I get an error message that said 'Invalid Product: This type of product cannot be ordered.'
This seems like a big problem to me--old books that may have continued relevance or may be in progress are no longer usable. True, it would only take me about 30 minutes to recreate the old books in the new iPhoto, but does anybody have any tips or similar experiences?

Evan:
You might consider what I'm doing for a particular project that requires the Storybook theme. That's to use iPhoto 6 on a special library created just for that book. You can use both versions but just have to be very careful when launching either version. I will launch iPhoto with the option key depressed so it reminds me to be sure to open the correct library for that version of iPhoto.
Do you Twango?
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Print Apps won't print with C510a eStation. Prints thin line at top of page.

My C510a eStation printer will not print using the Print Apps. It just prints a thin line at top of page. Everything works fine until I print.
All other print functions work. It prints from computer via WiFi. It prints when I send an email to it. It copies via the Zeen. It just won't print using the Print Apps.
Does anyone else have this problem? What is the solution?
12/23/2010 3:00PM. I just got off the phone with an HP engineer. She said that the eStation is still in the TESTING phase and to call to report problems so they can improve the product. (I would have thought the product would have been fully tested before being released to the public!)
She had me reset the Zeen display by holding down the volume keys while powering up. This erased everything that had been done on the Zeen by me and resulted in no HOME screens, which will have to be set up by me. The only app at the bottom of the blank home page was Yahoo!. Even the printer app was missing. I had to move it from the app tray to the home page. Now, I have to spend hours, again, setting up the Zeen.
After the reset, the printer apps seem to work now. The Zeen will copy using the printer app. My computer still seems able to print and scan to/from the eStation.
The eStation C510a eStation printer and Zeen display are very exciting. However, they are not for someone not willing to spend the time to get it to work properly. If you have a cell phone, be prepared to use up a lot of minutes while on support.
The HP engineer said that it will soon have a new release of Android operating on the Zeen which will allow it to be faster.
This question was solved.

I have decided to return this printer to the store as it just has too many problems. HP has essentially told me they will not issue updates to solve the problems. I hate this, as I really loved the product.

HP Photosmart Premium All-in-One Printer C309g won't print from iTunes

My C309G won't print anything from iTunes. Anybody have any luck fixing this problem? Thanks.

Hi - Got this from another user on the forum. Go into Printers and Devices (from start menu), right click on the C309G and there should be a Properties option. Select Properties and click Advanced. the default is "Spool print documents so program finishes printing faster", and then "Start printing immediately". Change it to "Print directly to the printer". This resolved the problem for a number of users.
Hope that helps.

Hp officejet pro 576 prints but won't scan

Friends, We recently bought and installed an HP Office Jet Pro x576 dw. After initial setup, it seemed to work fine. Shortly afterwards, however, the scanning to computer feature has failed. Here is what I have tried so far: I uninstalled and reinstalled, and it still doesn't work. I'm running Windows 7, 32-bit. I realized that nothing happened when I clicked on HP Officejet Pro X576dw MFP icon, so I looked and observed under Processes in the Windows Task Manager that the S/W starts up for a few seconds, but it exits before any window pops up. I uninstalled ALL of the HP software, and I downloaded and installed "HP Officejet Pro X576dw MFP Full Software Solution" from the HP website. The actual file name was: OJX576_DW_973.exe, and the version number reported in the control panel (in the uninstall menu) is 29.1.973.39397 The install seemed to work fine, but the Printer Assistant software still won't run. After that exercise, I uninstalled all the HP software again, rebooted, ran windows update, rebooted, and reinstalled the latest Full Software Solution from the HP website. The install seems to go fine -- the last menu I see is the one where I enter my zip code, etc. Afterwards, nothing happens when I click on HP Officejet Pro X576dw MFP in the Start menu or doubleclick on the shortcut that the installation placed on the desktop. The MFP won't let me scan to computer (because it says it hasn't been set up), but I can still print to it. We connect to the printer wirelessly. Note that I'm pretty sure this worked a couple of days ago, and I haven't knowingly installed any software since we originally installed the printer about a week ago, nor does any show up in the uninstall menu. After trying the various steps above, I searched this forum and tried this solution (quoted here from another thread): Follow the steps below to check the WIA Service:1. Type services.msc in run or search program and files
2. Scroll down to the WIA Windows Image Acquisition
3. Make sure that this service is running. Click Stop, and then Restart to make sure
4. Restart the computer
Restart the Dependencies services:
1. Click on Start, in Search box type “services” without quotes.
2. Scroll down until you see Windows Image Acquisition (WIA).
3. Double click on it and go to the tab called Dependencies.
4. 2 services should be listed.
5. Exit that window and look for Remote Procedure Call (RPC).
6. Make sure it’s on manual or if it is on Auto, just leave it. Make sure the service is started though.
7. Go to Shell Hardware Detection and Double click.
8. Set the Start up Type as Manual and hit Apply.
9. You should be able to Start the service by hitting Start.
10. Now you are done and the Twain Manager should be working and not give you an error. This should fix your problem I'm super frustrated at this point and hope that someone out there has a solution. I really need the scan to printer feature to work to take advantage of this awesome machine! Thanks so much,Rita Edit: When I tried to post this, it said invalid HTML was found in the message body and removed.

I will do my best to assist you with getting HP Printer Assistant to open again. You can also post this same information on the HP Enterprise Business Support Forums to get more exposure since this is one of the few Enterprise Officejets. I would like to add there is a firmware update available for this printer that may be of assistance. Here is a document that discusses more about problems with HP Printer Assistance. --HP Printer Assistant Opens with a Script Error or in Notepad--There is a place in this document to download a patch for your computer. Hopefully this will help you get HP Printer Assistant to open. Even though the title is a little different than your actual problem I have had this work before in this instance. Let me know if you get any specific error messages. If you can print and even scan using Windows Fax and Scan or Paint, then that will confirm for me that the software installed, the printer is functioning properly, and that the only problem you have is with this one program. I'm happy to help!

Hp officejet pro 8600 plus will print but won't scan.

Recently I had some kind of software conflict with my printer in Windows 7 so I deleted it and reloaded the printer software. I selected enable scanning at set up. It is a network printer and everyone can print to the printer. When I went to scan today the printer sees my computer and will let me select scan but I get a screen error on the computer and then the printer says the scan was unsuccessful. I checked the IP address which of course is good.
The Error says "Scanner Unreachable" X Scanner communication cannot be established. Ensure your product is powered on..... If you are installed using a cable check it...... If you insalled this printer by IP address then you might need to update IP address....... If you are running firewall software, it may be blocking the scan communication. Go to HP.com/go/wirelessprinting for help. -"
I turned off my firewall and my virus software and I get the same error. I restarted the computer, router, modem, and printer a couple of times. The frustrating thing is the printer sees the computer from the touch screen but just won't complete the scan.
Any suggestions?

IMac won't connect to network laser printer

Hi,
I've recently purchased a new 27" iMac 3.4 GHz with 16 GB RAM running OS 10.6.8. Everything has been running smoothly until this morning when I accidently switched off my HP LaserJet 4000n. After I turned it back on, I found that I could no longer print from the iMac to the Lasterjet any more. So, (stupidly) I thought I'd remove to printer from the Fax / Printer selection in System preferences and simply click + to add new printer and reinstrall the HP LaserJet 4000n. But here's the problem, my new iMac won't let me add a new printer because it can't find the HP LaserJet. I have tried everything. I even got a message saying the Appletalk was not turned on - interesting as 10.6.8 doesn't have appletalk any more. I did however find that Appletalk had been switched off on the G5, so I clicked it back on, but i still couldn't locate the HP LaserJet on the iMac. I can get the iMac to print if I connect to the HP LaserJet 4000n as a shaed prionter by turning on the G5 and using the Bonjour shared prointer facility, but I got the imac so I could sell the G5. I don't want to have to keep turning on another computer just to print off a recipe for chicken soup.
I spent about 6 hours on the phone to Apple support today with an elevated support person, but even they gave up in the end after we had tried everything. I even tried to copy the system file to another HD to see if I booted up just form the system if it would connect to the printer in the absence of all applications, but couldn't as i kept getting an error type 8003 message about 45 seconds into the copy process. As you may imagine I am seriously frustrated and not a little pee'd off.
Any clues as to what's happening, and also, how come the Apple support guy didn't ask me if i had backed everything up on Time Machine - which I do. Odd.
It's probably too late fore that option now anyway as he got me to renew the DHCP leases - so my router will have different numbers now.

I'm using the same printer with my late 2010 iMac (3.2GHz i3, 27") running OS X 10.6.7.
Took me a long while to get it to work, because I'd had it set up to work with my G4 running OS 9 via AppleTalk, and the iMac needs to connect via IP.
The setup that finally worked for me -
In the Print/Fax control pane in System Preferences, click the add button. In the Add Printer window, click the IP item in the header bar. In the new screen -
Protocol - set to "HP JetDirect - Socket"
Address: enter the IP address of the printer. If you don't already have that, you need to get it from the printer itself. To do that, use the "Menu" and "Item" buttons on the printer to step through the various offerings until you get to the Configuration page - select to print that page. The printer's IP address will be included on that page.
The IP address was not included on that page when I first printed the page. I think this was because it had originally been set up to use AppleTalk. The solution was to do a Cold Reset of the printer. To do that, turn the printer off. Hold the Go button down and turn it back on. Release the Go button when you see resetting activity in the message screen on the printer. Once I did that, the next time I printed the Configuration page the IP address was included.
Leave the rest of the Add Printer screen blank.
That should take care of it.

I am trying to print a color photo on my MacBook Pro from iPhoto (not using Photoshop) using Epson 2200 printer, and everything I do in the Color Matching and Print Settings results in a photo with a pink cast to it. What am I doing wrong?

I am trying to print a color photo on my MacBook Pro from iPhoto (not using Photoshop) using Epson 2200 printer, and everything I do in the Color Matching and Print Settings results in a photo with a pink cast to it. What am I doing wrong?

Have you checked the ink cartridges and made sure the nozzles are clear? Are you able to print from outside of iPhoto with the correct color?
Try the following: make temporary copy of the library and do the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

When I try to print iphoto crops my photos beyond recognition

I am trying to print off about 40 photos, the normal 3.5x5 size. Since iPhoto no longer offers me the "N-up" option for formatting my photos, I have to put this size print in manually. When I do, it prints all my photos as if they were horizontal photos (instead of just automatically rotating the photo) therefore cropping out most of the picture. Even the horizontal photos seem very cropped to me, cutting off peoples heads and feet that were supposed to be in the picture. This did not used to happen with previous versions of iPhoto. I could probably print the photos one per page, but I do not want to waste the paper or my time with the extra cutting this would involve. Also, pictures that have been cropped to an odd size are always cropped automatically rather than leaving extra margins around the picture like it used to do when I could select the "N-up" option.
is there a way to print off a bunch of photos at once so that I can put them in a photo album without having all my photos horribly cropped automatically?

I found after posting this that several other people had this problem and it was fixed by selecting the size photo I wanted, then going to customize, right clicking the cropped photo and selecting "fit photo to frame size". However, I still had to right click again and select "edit photo" and rotate all the horizontal photos so that they were sideways in order to get the most picture into the size photo I selected. Seems like a huge pain when apple is supposed to be so user-friendly. is there any way I could write to apple and complain about this problem that so many people seem to be having? or is the problem solved in a newer version of iPhoto (I'm using iPhoto '09)

Time Machine on my iMac won't open iPhoto. It goes to desktop screen automatically. When I select User/Picture/Iphoto library it only brings up the preview page with the size of the folder. I can't get into the library to look for lost photos.

Thank You. This helps me alot to get into the masters and to see events and photos in a utilitarian way, but it is not as easy as viewing the normal iphoto format to find photos. Can I do something else or did I not do something right to not see normal iphoto in Time Machine ?

In iPhoto 9.5.1, how do I print multiple copies of the same photo on a sheet ?

In iPhoto 9.5.1, how do I print multiple copies of the same photo on a sheet ?
I am somehow missing the "settings" which allowed me to do this in earlier versions.
Grateful for any hints. Thank you. Znon

That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
You can only do it by duplicating the photos "n-1" times to make "n" prints and selecting all copies then print
