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 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

Iphoto won't print to Epson Photomate Delux

I can print to my Epson Photomate Delux using PREVIEW and from PHOTOSHOP, but NOT from iphoto. When I try to print from iphoto, the pics go on hold in the print box. I have tried to hit RESUME, but it just goes back on hold. One other thing, the pics that load from PS or PREVIEW show their names, but the ones that import from iphoto all say "untitled."
Why can't iphoto talk to my printer? It used to work (I haven't used the printer in several months). I've downloaded new drivers, restarted everything, blah, blah, blah...all to the same result. Any thoughts? I'm plugged in using a USB cable.
Thanks

One more thing, if the queue is stalled with multiple pics from different programs (PS, PREVIERW, ihphoto) printing will begin again after I delete the "untitled" pics from iphoto.
Thanks.

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.

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

IPhoto won't print - where are themes? but this is really annoying.

What does this mean?
"There were no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed, this feature will be unavailable."
I have always been able to print. I hate Events, but this is really annoying.
Thanks

Dean:
Look in your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder to see if there's a folder titled Themes in there. If so move it to the HD/Library/iPhoto folder and reboot. If that doesn't get iPhoto back up and printing as it should you'll have to reinstall as follows:
Restoring iPhoto Themes
1 - delete the current application.
2 - delete any files with iPhoto in the file name that reside in your HD/Library/Receipts folder.
3 - delete any Themes folder from your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder.
4 - delete any Themes folder from your HD/Library/iPhoto folder.
5 - boot into the system disk that came with your computer or use the iLife 08 disk and do a custom install selecting only iPhoto.
If you have problems with a custom install from your system install disk you can use Pacifistto locate, extract and install iPhoto from the disk.
After installing reinstall the iPhoto 7.1.1 updater again followed by a repair of disk permissions with Disk Utility. Also make sure you're running the latest Quicktime, 7.3.
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.

Iphoto won't print color?

Hello,
I am having difficult time printing color from iphoto or JPAC i really don't know what the issue is , this Mac computer has been plugged to xerox printer for the past 2 years or so and i never experienced such problem before. It print PDF in color. could you please help me with this issue it really is urgent
Thank you very much

It sounds like you have your print settings set to print in Greyscale instead of color. The specific settings will vary from printer to printer, but look under properties (or something like that) for greyscale.
iPhoto prints fine in color.

- 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

my iPhoto won't open keeps on giving me an error message and my microsoft office two

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 )
