Margins are off on prints

I'm trying to make some 4x6 prints using a Canon MP800 printer. I'm on a Mac. I'd like to have a 0.2" white border around the print. In LR I entered 0.2" for top, bottom, left & right margin and it looks exactly right on screen. However, when I print, the margin is much less than .2" on the left, top, & bottom and there is no margin at all on the right. I have "4x6 borderless printing" selected in the print dialog, as I always do. Does anyone one know what might be happening here?
Thanks.

I'm not up on the latest Canon driver's (I use Epson) but I have a few observations. After a lot of digging and testing I may have a workaround. Make a Virtual Copy of the image and crop it to your final/print dimensions. Set all your print parameters in Page Settings and Print Settings. The final image should be right when printed. It will not appear perfectly in LR since LR seems to show an additional white border space at the bottom and right side, a few pixels worth. You may want to Print, Preview and print from Preview.
Any further alignment issues could be problematic unless the printer driver allows for printer alignment (not head alignment). Most consumer printers don't have this feature in their drivers. To test this out make a small graphic box in whatever program you have handy. Place it one inch down and to the right from the top left border of a borderless page (you want to identify one inch borders in relation to the paper). Print the page. Odds are the placement is slightly off. It's not unusual. Borderless printing allows for a bit of overprinting. It's not noticeable with text but it's noticeable with graphics that rely on precise placement.

Print margins are off

I'm printing a PDF in booklet form. My printer (like most, I believe) always leaves a white margin around the document, which is fine. However, the white space on the left side of each spread is greater than the white space on the right side of each spread. The center of the paper doesn't match the break between the two pages and everything is off-center when I staple the booklet. It looks like the entire spread needs to be shifted to the left in order to line up properly. How can I fix this? Thanks.

HP Laserjet P1102w - Right side margin cut off when printing in Internet Explorer 9! URGENT PROBLEM*

Hi,
I have just purchased a new printer (HP Laserjet P1102W), and when I print a web page in Internet Explorer 9, the footer (I set to the URL) does not print at all and the header will print though the right hand edge of my entire web page is cut off (including my top right header - Pages ? of ?).
I always use Print Preview first, and in the print preview it looks perfect. I always tick the box to enable shrink to fit too. Why will it look perfect in 'Print Preview' but yet when it prints, it cuts off the right hand side edge of the page and doesnt print the footer?? I have tried adjusting margins, etc... all to no avail.
I would like to check whether others have this same problem?
I spoke to HP (UK Printer Support) and they said it is Internet Explorer 9's problem. I have left a message on the Microsodt Web forum which you can see here. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie9-windows_vista/internet-exploer-9-not-printing-header...
I am hoping they may release a patch / hotfix - but this has to be affecting many other users of this printer too? The more of us that complain, the quicker it will get sorted.
Any others with the same problem?
Thanks.

I spoke with Microsoft technical support via phone today. Between us - we seemed to have found the problem.
It's to do with the DPI (the font size) settings in Windows!?
I have mine set to 188% on my Windows Vista mahcine and 200% on my Windows 7 laptop.
From my Printing tests in Internet Explorer 9...
at 100 % DPI – it prints perfectly
at 150% DPI – it prints perfectly
at 200% DPI – the right side of the margin is cut off, and no footer is printed – despite it looking perfect in the Print Preview.
I am using http://uk.msn.com/ as my test print outs.
This indicates when the DPI is changed above 150%, IE9 doesn't print properly – though other browsers like Safari or Firefox do print correctly. This surely has to indicate a bug in either the Windows operating system or Internet Explorer 9?
Microsoft are going to run their own tests and phone me back tomorrow...hopefully with a solution!
Hope this helps any others with the same problem at the moment!
Would be great if HP could provide a soloution asap - surely a tweak to the Printer dirvers will fix the problem?

Print PDF Directly to Printer - Margins cut off

Hello,
I am using an application called PeopleSoft, and we generate out report files in PDF format.
If I direct the output file directly to the printer then the right and bottom margins are cutting off the document text.
Whereas, if I direct the printer out put to a network drive, then open the PDF in an PDF reader of Acrobate, then print the file it works fine.
Can anyone explain to me why this is so, and if there is a way to change the margins, when sending the output to the printer. To ensure the entire document is printed.
Thanks in advance,
Matt.

Yes, same PDF file.
I run a batch process that generates the report output file, I can choose to direct the output directly to a network printer, or save it to a network drive.
If I choose to direct the output run to the printer then the right margins and bottom margin is cutting off the text of the actual report file.
However, if I direct the output to be saved to the network drive, then open it using Adobe Reader, then print it, the entire report document fits easily within the margins and no text is being cut-off.
I lack the technical knowledge to explain how/why this is happening.

Notes cut off when printing, issue with margins

When I print a slide with notes, the notes complete cover the width of the page, flush left and right. My printer cuts the margins automatically (not a bleed), so those portions of the text in the notes gets cut off.
Any way to control the margins, left and right, when printing notes from Keynote?

Keynote print layout is a bit of a mess, and is well commented on by users, it prints differently than previous versions, eg in handouts the slide image is much smaller than previously, in grid, the slides are off the printable area on the left.
We are hoping this is fixed in the round of scheduled updates.

Unwanted margin cutting off design when printing document

I've laid out a design in InDesign that is meant to be printed on a precut 5.5" square card. The document is set up as a 5.5" square with no margins... my design is set to the edge of the card on the screen. when i print on 8.5"x11" everything is fine all images appear - nothing is cut off. when i print on my precut cards the images get cut off by a 1/8" margin on all edges of the card. printer settings are set to have no margins as well. i've never had this problem before and can't seem to solve it. i tried to make the document a PDF and print it that way but the same thing happened. i contacted epson (i print with an epson RX595) and this is what they said:
"The program that you are having problems printing from probably requires a Postscript Printer Definition (PPD) and this printer does not have one available from Epson. In order to get a PPD for the printer, you will need to look for third party RIP programs that will work with your printer.
Another option may be to save the file as a PDF before printing as this will mask PS fonts and EPS files (even if you do not use PS fonts this may be necessary).
If the issue persists, we recommend contacting the program vendor or Apple for additional support."
any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated!! thanks!

Just a guess, but if this is a borderless printer you probably need to click the setup button in the print dialog to access the driver settings, and pick the borderless page size there, then set the size inthe print dialog to "defined by driver."

Printing web pages margins cut off

When I print web pages with any of 3 printers, the left and right margins are cut off by about one letter. Using HP printers, Leopard. Doesn't occur with other programs such as mail, Word etc. Print options in Safari do not include margins. Any suggestions?

How to print grouped field in the margin area of main page

I have one requirement where one grouped column has to printed in the margin area and not in the main area.
ie. if i group by deptno,
deptno has to be printed behind where date is printed in the margin area
and for each deptno page changes
how this can be achieved ? any idea
because you cannot move deptno from its parent frame.
anybody knows about this?
regards

To have one dept per page, set the Maximun Records per Page property of the dept repeating frame to 1. To display dept in the margin, create summary column that would find Max (or First) deptno with Reset on Page.

Anyone know of a way to adjust the top and side MARGINS of a document printed from iOS numbers? The default margins are too wide. Need more working space.

Open the document,
Tap the Tools icon (upper right).

Drag the margins to the position you wish (the actual margin width sould display as you are doing this).

You didn't mention any color calibration being done on your monitor. This is an essential part of any color-correct workflow. What are you using to calibrate your monitor (and your printer)?
Print profiles (for soft-proofing as well as printing) are for specific combinations of paper & printer. The nine you have are each, most likely, for a common paper (perhaps mfr'd by Canon) to be used with your printer.
I don't know what you mean when you say "I choose a high standard print option".
Have you read the User Manual chapter on printing?
Printing Your Images
There is also a good appendix on calibration:
Calibrating Your Aperture System

When printing from web pagess, right margin cuts off print, cant seem to reconfigure. Frames select on print choices does not highlight for printing options. What will help?

Using a Dell Dimension E310 with Windows XP and Dell photo 924 Print/Scan/Copier. When printing from web pages on the browser the right portion of the print is cut off. It appears that the "folders" frame on the left side of the page is always printing with the page, which cuts off the print on the right side of the main page frame by the width of the "folders" frame. When I select the print command, the choice for selecting a particular frame to print is on the drop down menu, but is not highlighted for use. We have had this problem with Firefox for some time. Printing from IE or Word, etc. does not produce the same problem. We like Firefox otherwise. What is the fix?

You're right: most web pages do not use frames, so that option usually is not available.
I don't know why a page that printed just the main content before would change to printing with useless sidebars. Can you try the site in Firefox's Safe Mode and see whether it prints/previews correctly there?
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, try starting Firefox in Firefox
[http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode]. Be careful not to "reset" anything permanently if you didn't back up.
Does that fix it? If so, the difference usually is caused by one of your add-ons. You can restart the regular way and disable all non-essential add-ons here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Add-ons
In particular, check the Extensions category.

Margin Error Message When Printing

I am using Word 12.2.4 0n a MacBook Pro running Mac OSX 10.6.3.
When I try to print a document to an HP CP3505n printer and I view the document in Preview the last few lines of the first page are cut off (those lines do not appear on the top of the next page - they are just lost) and I get the following error message:.
"One or more margins are set outside the printable area of the page. Choose the Fix button to increase the appropriate margin"
When I hit the Fix button, the bottom margin always resets from 1" to 18.37" (all the other margins stay the same). What is happening?

It tells us that Office has gone bad. Try re-installing Office (use the built-in uninstaller, rather than just dragging the apps to trash).

Adobe Form Print Problem - Header is cut off without print preview

We are currently experiencing a problem when trying to print Adobe forms. We have created several forms and are experiencing the same issue with all forms. The issue occurs when we are trying to print a form. If we choose a print preview prior to printing, the form looks normal and prints fine. However, if we do a direct print (i.e. no print preview), then the top part of the form is cut off. It's almost like all of that data on the form gets shifted upward, cutting off about 1/2" to an 1" from the top of the form. We have tried printing to different printers and are ending up with the same results each time. We do not experience this issue with SAPScript.
I have searched several threads and haven't been able to find an issue quite like the one we are experiencing.
Has anyone ever exeperienced a problem like this before?
Currently using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.1.2 and are on Netweaver 7.00 EhP1.
Thank you for any help.

I am going to go ahead and close this thread as I believe we have found a solution. Sai is correct that there is an issue with the design.
If anyone else runs into this problem, take a look at note 968394 that talks about differences between print preview and printing from spool. When you are in the print preview dialog box, under "Page Scaling," the default is "Shrink to printable area." So if your form went outside the margins, it would shrink to fit giving you the impression that the problem is not with the print preview rather than the form itself.
After moving the header stuff down a bit everything is printing normal both through the spool and via print preview.
Thank you!

Using the Manual Tray to feed invitations the print is off the left edge, centerd on the left margin rather than the page center. Appears correctly in the print preview. Orientation, scaling and paper size selections appear to be accurate.

Text to the right is cut off on print/preview of web pages

To the WebMaster's of oracle.com
I' still like to print out information from your web site about hot topics (like your recent articles about BPEL), so a long flight will get more interesting..
However the text to the right is cut off when printing (using IE6 on WinXP). It seems that the formatting requires a minimum width.
I would also prefer to see the "print view" link at the top of an article and not at the bottom.
With best regards from Germany,
Stefan

Stefan....this problem sometimes occurs with articles containing wide code samples. Can you please provide the specific problem URLs?
We are aware that the "Print View" functionality is less visible than it could be; unfortunately, moving it to the top of the page isn't as straightforward as it seems. We're working on it.
Cheers, OTN
This problem should now be fixed in the three BPEL Cookbook installments.
