M451dw/2025dn can't print 3x5 index card on Mavericks (10.9)

I used to be able to print 3x5 index cards in the manual tray of my 2025dn with my Mac on OS X 10.8 and earlier, but after upgrading to 10.9 (and now 10.9.2) it doesn't work. The index card comes out blank. I have also tested this on my new M451dw (seems to be the same printer with a few extras).
Using MS Word, I tried a letter sized sheet in the manual tray to see what was happening and the text comes out in the lower left hand position of the page, as if the index card was moved all the way to the left of the manual print tray instead of being in the middle, where the guides are.
Using Apple Pages, a letter sized sheet in the manual tray prints in the correct spot (middle of the page on the left side) but in a larger font, as if the index-sized page was being scaled to the full letter-sized page. Putting an index card in the manual tray comes out blank.
Using MS Word on a Windows PC works just fine.
Any idea what is going on here? Do the 10.9 drivers need updating?
Thanks!

Photosmart 6520 Printer 3x5 post cards

Try to print on 3x5 post cards and cards will not feed in paper tray. Using the software on computer to select the photo tray says no to 3x5 cards and will not load paper.
How do I print them.

Hi Al-Kets,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you are trying to print 3x5 post cards, with your HP Photosmart 6520.
I have a few questions for you:
1.) What Operating System are you using? Windows or Mac? What version?
2.) How is the printer connected? Wireless or USB?
3.) Can you make copies with the printer?
Hope to hear back from you, and have a great day!

How can I print an address card?

Hi Folks,
I've just discovered what seems like a ridiculous limitation of Address Book. I am having a hard time believing this is so, and am sure there must be a way to do this.
I need to print out an address card, as it appears in the Address Book. I want all info, including the notes.
I can't find a way to do it. I figured out I can print a list, an envelope layout, an address card (with some info), and perhaps one other option.
Would someone kindly tell me how I can simply print an address book card? It won't even let me select a whole card for copy/paste to elsewhere for printing.
For now I have resorted to copying the card from Google Contacts, to which I have Address Book sync'ed. I then pasted that data into a new email and printed the email (in Mail). I could have used Word, etc..
Is there an easier way? If not from within Mac, is there a small app that makes the data in my address book more readily converted into ink and paper? I have looked on Google for the past 25 minutes and found nothing.
Any tips greatly appreciated.
With thanks,
Jonathan

Thanks TeenTitan,
I had not realised the List style would allow all that.
This works. The layout is not ideal because it puts everything into columns across the page, but it is better than nothing... and easier than going via my Google Contacts sync.
Are these styles editable? Is there a template hiding away somewhere in the far reaches of my OS that I could fiddle with to change the layout or make a new style? Would love to know.
Cheers,
Jonathan

What is the secrect to print 4x6 Index Cards in an HP C309a

I have a Microsoft Word Template for printing recipes on 4x6 Index Cards.    However, there is no known combination of settings on my HP C309a that will let me print Index Cards.    The built-in Printing Shortcuts contains an entry called Postcard Printing, but it call for using the Photo-Tray.     When I put my cards in the photo tray, it prints from the main tray. If I remove the main tray it tells me add paper.
This is a very simple task. Why does HP make it nearly impossible to do something as trivial as printing on an Index Card? I'm wasting sheet after sheet of paper trying to figure this out.   I need detailed, step by step instructions on how to proceed.

Yes, I did try that and it made no difference.     I must admit, the timing of your reply is perfect.    Just yesterday I accidentally stumbled on the answer to this problem.   And it clearly demonstrates how poorly designed the printing feature is in Microsoft Word.
To print a 4x6" Index Card in Microsoft Word 2010, you must do the following on the Word Page Layout Toolbar:
1. Click on the Orientation Icon and select "Landscape".
2. Click on the Size Icon and select "Index Card 4x6 inch".
3. Click on Margins Icon and select "Narrow".
Place the Index Card stock in the Photo Tray and click on the Printer Properties for the HP C309a.   Then set the following preferences:
Printing shortcuts: General Everyday Printing
Paper source: Photo Tray
Paper sizes: Index Card 4x6 inch
Paper type: Automatic
After setting the Printer Properties, you must set the layout and scaling.
1. Click on the last drop-down setting in the Print Print Page.
2. Next click on Scale to Paper Size and select Borderless 4x6in from the list.
Lastly press the Print button.

How can I print a year planner in Maverick Calendar?

Hi,
I am looking at switching back to Calendar from BusyCal and would like to be able to print a year planner. Can't see how to do this within Calendar, any ideas?
Also, has anyone come across any nice add on software to achieve this through integration with calendar,
Thanks
Scott

If you mean you want to change a color of a calendar category or create a new one, you cannot do that, what is pre-loaded is what you get and cannot be edited.

How can I print from my IMAC with Mavericks OS to the Canon MP560 printer's rear tray?

I have just moved from a Windows platform to Imac. On Windows, in Word, I was able to select where the paper was feeding (automatically select, rear tray, etc.) but now I can't select rear tray. I've already tried the "Quality & Media" under presets but was not given an option to change where the paper comes from. Can anybody help?

You need to turn on Printer Sharing on both the PC and OS X. I can't help you on Vista but in OS X it's System Preferences - Sharing - check the Printer Sharing box.

HP LaserJet 1018 not printing landscape on index cards

I regularly print on 3 x 5 index cards with this printer. In fact, this is the reason I purchased the printer. Just this morning, I am suddenly unable to print landscape on it. Any file set up in landscape will run through the printer and come out blank. However, if I change the set up to print portrait, my prints are perfect. Hm...does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi. Did you ever figure out why you can't print 3x5 index cards in landscape mode on your HP printer? I'm having exactly the same problem. I can print the document on ordinary 8.5x11, but not on index cards. It was working a couple of weeks earlier. I've tried all the obvious solutions but so far nothing works. Thanks.

Printing to an Index Card

Hello. I am in the education field, and I'm trying to print 3x5 index cards to a Xerox Phaser 3500. I've been trying to do it in Word 2004, to no avail, and I'm not finding it any easier in Pages. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Difficult to help without knowing what problems you are running into....
General approach:
First, will your printer actually run a 3x5 index card? Can you load it and have it gripped by the printer and spit out the other end?
If your printer can handle it, then you have to tell Word/Pages that you want the paper size to be 3x5. In both programs, this is under File | Page Setup. You might have to use the Manage Custom Sizes entry under Paper Size to create a custom paper size.

HP Officejet 6700 Premium - print on flash cards - 3x5?

I have a Officejet 6700 Premium, it said media sizes supports 3x5 index cards. I am not sure what media sizes support is and if anyone can help me. Can this printer print on 3x5 index cards? If so and how?

Hi @radicalrebel
Yes, you can print on 3x5 index cards.
Source: Printer Specifications for the HP Officejet 6600 e-All-in-One and 6700 Premium e-All-in-One Printer ...
You also asked, '"If so and how?". You will need to adjust the print settings within the print dialog box, in the program you are printing from. if you require further assistance, please let me know what operating system, and version do you have? Mac or Windows, and what program you are printing from.

Tutorial: Print index cards without removing paper from tray for Officejet Pro 8000.

The HP Officejet Pro 8000 and Officejet Pro 8000 wireless do not have a slot for inserting index cards and envelopes.
If you are wanting to print index cards without removing the paper from the tray, follow these steps.
The steps below are for 3 x 5 index cards.
1.) Open Microsoft Word
2.) Go to the Insert tab and insert a rectangle shape
3.) Draw a rectangle of any size
4.) Right click on the rectangle and select "Format Autoshape..."
5.) Under the Size tab, enter 5" for the height and 3" for the width (make sure "Absolute" is selected)
6.) Under the Layout tab, select "Center" for the horizontal alignment
7.) Click OK
8.) Use the keyboard up arrow key to move the rectangle to the top of the page. Make sure the top edge of the rectangle touches the top edge of the document.
9.) Print this document on plain 8.5" x 11" paper
10.) When you want to print an index card, place this 8.5x11 document in the paper tray printed side face up. Then place an index card over the rectangle and align with the border of the rectangle. After you print the index card, remove the 8.5x11 paper for the next time you need to print an index card.
Note 1: This are USA instructions. If you live in the UK or other countries you may have different paper size standards.

I can't tell you how much I HATE this printer. I will never buy an HP product again. BROTHERS printers are simply and easy to use.

Can I print to different paper sizes with AirPrint and Safari?

I am the organizer of a trade show coming up.
We are using a web based registration system for attendees.
To print the attendee badges, we simply log in to the site through the net, and print them. I have an HP CP1525nw loaded with 3x5 index cards that will slide into the badge holders.
When printing from the Mac, I simply go to Page Setup, set the paper size and orientation and print.   It works great.
However, we would love to use iPads for our registration staff. Not only are they less expensive, but they are portable, and totally wireless.   We can access the site just fine, and the badges show great on the screen.   The website generates the badges as a .pdf file and they load into the browser.
When printing from the iPad, the badges print HUGE, filling an entire 8.5x11 size page.   With the 3x5 card stock loaded in the paper tray, they still print huge, only showing the portion of the badge on the 3x5 card in the location it would be had there been letter size paper in the tray.
Any ideas?
I've considered formatting another badge for letter size, and having it print only where the 3x5 card would fall... but that is a huge tweak that I think should be unnecessary.
How do I print to different size paper from my iPad?
Thanks for the help in advance.
--Brian

Thanks for the info.
It will let me send the PDF to eprint.... and there are paper size choices.
However, they only offer Letter, Legal and A4.
My printer DOES support 3x5 index cards. But, the option is not listed.
Any other ideas?

How do I print 3x5 postcards on HP Photosmart 6520

The printer says it can handle printing 3x5 postcards,
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03312222&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en...
but I find nowhere that explains where or how you put them in to the print to print them
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The 6520 has a photo paper/index card tray, it sit under the output tray (the top cover of the full size paper tray), you access it by flip down the front piece of the paper tray and lift the top cover, the photo paper tray can be pulled outward for loading paper. I did notice there are marks for 4x6 and 5x7. I didn't see a 3x5, but I would suggest try load as 5x7, i.e. landscape/sideways. When you print, select 3x5 paper size, and landscape mode.
Please let me know if this works for you.

Can't print on an index card

Yes, I'm already trying to print out on index card the text which was created in Word and and then printed to the PDF writer "printer"
Unfortunately, I get my text printed on an 8.5"x11" letter size paper not on a 3"x5" custom sized sheet that I have specified in Word & it shows up in Word as a 3x5 sized paper. Printing on an 8.5"x11" paper is not what I want; I want to print on an index card put into the printer.
I have done this with no problem directly from Word. But since I don't currently have a printer, I need to have the PDF portability to take it to Office Max and get it printed on an index card there.
Even though I specified custom size in Word for the document as 5"(width) by 3" (height). I cannot get the Adobe Pro 8 to produce a custom PDF document that has those specifications. I have gone to Advanced printing options in Adobe Pro 8, PostScript, etc. and save them there (it takes the settings), but it's not coming out, I still get the 8.5x11" letter sized paper. And Office Max didn't know how to do this either.
Is there anyone that can help?

What version of Acrobat are you running? I'm running Acrobat Professional 8.
I can't imagine what I could've done wrong. I'll detail my exact steps and maybe you could tell me what I did.
I have a custom sized Word document that's 3"(high)x5"(wide) shown in the graphic below.
I do a CTL P and get the print dialog box with the default of Adobe PDF,
I click on Properties & get the Adobe PDF Properties with the Adobe PDF Setting tab focused,
      Default Settings: is Standard
               (although here I've also created and Index Card settings and that didn't work either, both w & w/o the last setting below)
     Adobe PDF Security: is None
     Adobe PDF Output Folder is Prompt for PDF filename
    Adobe PDF Page Size: is now Index Card, which I have just created with settings of:
                                             Paper Names: Index Card
                                             Paper Size Width: 5.0
                                             Paper Size Height: 3.0
                                             Unit: Inch
View Adobe PDF Results is checked
Add document information is checked
Delete log files for successful jobs is checked
Ask to replace existing PDF file (it does this even if it's NOT checked) is checked
I click OK and OK again; it goes thru its gyrations and
out pops an 8.5"x11" sheet on the screen with the data from the Word document flush up against the right edge in the middle vertically between the top and the bottom of the page.
Then I go to crop the page to the index card size and first it says I can't change the page size,
so I go to Print Setup and change the size there and go & crop in and nothing happens, it's still 8.5x11.
The only thing I can think of is that you have a different version than me or maybe wonderful Vista has screwed things up.I miss XP.
Any suggestions?~JerseyGrr l
