MS Project - Printing to dimensions larger than max print driver settings

I have a large (2000+) task Gantt chart but no wide-format printer.
I've tried printing to PDF - the tasks, durations, start, finish & resources columns show but the bars don't and the data replicates 4x so I end up having to mess with the file, deleting the extraneous pages, before I send it out for review, anyway.
I tried downloading a wide-format printer driver simply so I could select that printer as my 'default' and set the printer to 'print' to 24x36 while I work with the document, but can't install it because I don't actually have a wide-format printer on my
network.
Two questions:
First: How do I get the bars to show in a PDF print?
Second: How do I set the print area larger than my max paper size of 17x11?
Thanks.

Thank you very much for your response, Guillaume.
The issue is that I only have standard sized printers available to me. The drivers of these control and restrict the 'print' size of the PDF file. I had already selected the columns, etc., but could not get the right-hand part of the document
to appear no matter what settings I changed. I tried manipulating the columns printed, the page size, etc. but nothing worked.
Additionally, no matter what else I did (and I suspect it had to do with the program attempting to print the Gantt bars) I ended up with multiple prints of the document within my finished PDF. Meaning I had to use the Professional version of Adobe
to go back and delete the 50+ pages I didn't need before I could distribute what was useful to everyone else on the team.
I did manage to solve this issue by downloading a wide-format printer driver (even though we don't have a wide-format printer on the network, which was a feat in and of itself!). Now I can choose the non-existent printer as my default when I'm working
in / on this document and can print to PDF on a virtual 36" page - showing everything (in little tiny mouse print). That will be my next challenge - but I'm more than halfway there!
Best~

Can I print a image larger than 4x6 directly from iPad's photo application to a HP Air Print printer without a additional app?

It depends upon the capabilities of your printer. If you have an HP printer with a photo tray then the Photo app will print to whatever size you load in to that tray.
There's some more information here:
Using AirPrint to Print Various Photo Sizes
With other printers the user is given a choice from the printer's loaded paper sizes. You can see an example of that here:

On my photosmart 7520 I can not print any picture larger than 4x6. what can I do

On my photosmart 7520, which is brand new, I can not print any pictire larger than 4x6. When I place a 5x7 or 8x10 on bottom tray does not pick it up, it picks up from the top tray and it displays wrong paper size. What can I do?

Hi,
I recommend that you open your print preferences and select the paper source as the main tray and set the paper size to whatever size it is you want to print. I don'y have a Vista example but I have included a screen shot from Windows 7 of the options window you're after.

How does one print to a Large Format Network Printer in Adobe Reader X?

I have just installed Adobe Reader X on a machine that previously had Adobe Reader 9 (I had to format the hard drive so this is a fresh installation). When attempting to print to a large format Printer (36x24) across the network I cannot change the paper size. Despite attempting to change the paper size to a number of different configurations Adobe X will not print anything but 8.5"x11.0" (which is the default paper size on the local printer). I have tried making the network printer the default printer and that does not make any difference. Everything worked fine with Adobe Reader 9 but not X. Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Also, I can print to both the local printer and the large format network printer fine through other applications.
Thanks.

Just finished testing 10.10 printing via a Windows 2008 R2 print share. I also found that when trying to add the printer using CUPS I would get an authentication error. But if I added the printer using the Windows section of the Add printer pane, then I was able to print fine.
So with you mentioning that using the Windows section of the Add printer window has never worked (which is interesting because it's always worked for me) I want to suggest another approach to adding the printer, still using the Add printer window. With this window open you can right-click on the toolbar and select Customize Toolbar. You can then drag the Advanced icon to the toolbar. Then when you select this, you can set the Type menu to "Windows via spoolss" and then enter the URL as smb://servername/sharename. Select the supporting driver and click Add to complete.
Then when you select to print for the first time using this printer you will be prompted to authenticate. Enter the account details, set the save to Keychain option and OK to send the print job.
This worked fine for me and creates the same queue as using the Windows add printer setting. Curious to hear if this gets your co-worker printing again.

I'm doing a timemachine backup of my current MBPro. The MBPro has aproximately 250 GB of content that is being "timemachine'd". My new SSD is only 128 GB, how do I restore the timemachine backup, when my old drive was larger than the new drive?

I tried googling the answer but all i got was how to move the timemachine backup to another HDD. Sorry for the ******** question, thought I'd try here.

Is it possible to set up a document larger than my printer is able to print in Indesign?

I have a printer that prints no larger than A3 but need to create an A1 document which I will get printed elsewhere.
In changing the page sizes, Indesign only gives me the size options that are compatible with my printer. Is it possible to create a document larger than these sizes?
Jack

Do you mean the default list of page sizes that appears in the New Document dialog? Well, you are absolutely not limited to just those values. Just type in any width and height in the fields directly below the drop down list.
To quickly get the correct values for A1, select "A3" size -- the Width and Height fields change to the correct values for this -- then type in "*2" in each of the fields and "enter" this using the Tab key, rather than pressing Enter.

Does rendering previews larger than max native resolution benifit you.

Hi, I have Adobe Lightroom 4.3. I like to know if rendering standard previews, larger than the max native resolution of my LCD display (1680x1050), will Help me, if I look edit photos at great than 1:1 ratio. IE, 2880, 2040, 1680 etc.. In some cases. I work on files with a brush, up to 8:1 magnification. Does that extra resolution translate to greater detail when working that close?

help1111111111111111,
You may want to re-think your workflow.
Image sequencing in Develop module is sloooooooowww... - no way around it (other than using EditInLightroom plugin, which reduces resolution, temporarily, in favor of develop module speed, but even then it's slow compared to Library module). note: last 4 images developed are cached in ram, those are fast to get at, but the rest: slooooooooowww...
Image sequencing in Library module is faaaaaaaaaast - if you have up-to-date previews, otherwise it's slooooooowww too.
So the trick is to make sure library previews are up-to-date, then sequence images in the library module - when you hit the image(s) you want to edit, press 'd', or another develop module keyboard shortcut... - then, upon edit completion, return to library module, via 'e' or 'g', or some other preferred method, for more sequencing.
Bottom-line: switching between library & develop module ad-infinitum is a fact of Lightroom life, if you are one of those who can't "do everything there is to do in one module before switching to the other" (I'm one too), and you want to use Lightroom most efficiently.
Maybe one day, Adobe will integrate the lib & dev modules and/or enhance Lightroom to better cache image viewing data, until then... - good luck.

Printing to paper larger than A3

I am using Mac OS X Yosemite and latest version of Aperture printing to a 13 inch wide roll fo canvas on a Canon Pixma Pro 100 printer.
I set the paper size to 27 inches by 13 inches in Aperture and the image size to 11.75 x 25.75 inches in Aperture.
I have it set to automatically rotate image but not to crop image.
I click print and then get a second print dialogue box from Mac OS X which lists different paper handling. I do not want color correction so I use plain paper setting. I am unable to select the desired paper size nor create a larger paper size in the Mac OS dialogue box.
Suggested paper size: A4 is greyed out unless I select check box to scale to fit.
If I leave box unchecked then my prints are about 8 inches wide, if I select it and choose A3+) my images are cropped at beginning and end of print.
Is there a way to add a 27 inch x 13 inch paper size to the mac os X print dialogue which seems like it would solve my problem?
Otherwise has anyone had a similar issue and learned solution.

I'm having same issues trying to print to custom sizes in Preview.
Possible work-around (not a solution, but might allow you to print and meet a deadline): I found I could set my Custom paper size as the Default in the Print & Scan Preference Pane.
Now, my print job still had issues, but it may work for your Aperture job. Of course, the PIA is that you have to remember to go back into Preferences and reset Default Paper Size...
Hope Apple is aware of - and working on - printing issues...

Why is my iPad print is larger than PC print.

I print from my PC and 1 page is printed but when I print from my iPad 2 pages are printed for the same print job. The iPad appears to enlarge the print job slightly, does anyone know why? Or how to modify the print settings. I also downloaded the Printer Pro app and tried to print through the app and had the same results.

Try giving it a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red slider, and until you see the silver apple. See if that helps.

Printer setup with lpadmin, access problems to driver settings

Hello,
I have been using lpadmin in a script to add printer connnections to our Cups server. After running the script I have configured the printers in the Print & Fax centre, defining duplex units and extra trays where applicable.
In Mac OS 10.5 it works fine, but when I open the driver option dialog in Mac Os 10.6, set an option and click OK, the option change is not saved. This means that our Snow Leopard users cannot print duplex or on other than the default printer tray.
If I add a printer manually in the Print & Fax dialog everything works fine, ie the driver option dialog opens when I add the printer, and the changes I make are saved. As several printer have to be set up on several Macs, this manual procedure is not an option.
Is there some new option for lpadmin in Snow Leopard that I have to use, or am I missing something else? The command line I use looks like this:
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p printer -v ipp://cupsserverip:631/printers/printer -E -P /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/HP\ Color\ LaserJet\ 5550.gz

Welcome to the Apple Discussion forums.
Setting the options using the Print & Fax dialog box seems to be saving the installed options for a test printer I just installed using the lpadmin command. You could also try using the web interface at _http://127.0.0.1:631/printers_. Just click on the printer and then choose set default options from the pop up menu.

Can't print a PDF larger than 54x54 inches without errors...

I'm trying to help someone print a PDF to 92x92 inches. Each time either of us tries, we get an error that says 'The document could not be printed.' Then a second error message pops up: 'There were no pages selected to print.'
I ran a number of test scenarios and was able to print up to 54x54 successfully. When I tried 55x55, it errored out. Strangely, when I tried 55x40 it worked fine. So it might be a matter of a limit to the number of square inches? But I heard that Acrobat X Pro should be able to print things with millions of inches of dimension.
Any ideas out there?

For anybody else following this, I figured out a work-around. It does require InDesign, however...(messy, but it works).
Create an InDesign document with the dimensions that you want. In my case: 92x92 inches.
Place the original PDF image (that is still at reduced size) onto the page of the InDesign document, and scale it up to fit the page. To ensure exact scaling, just SINGLE CLICK AND RELEASE the mouse when placing the PDF so it comes in at original size. Then with the black selection arrow activated from the toolbar, change the scaling in the properties bar at the top to scale it appropriately.
Move the resized image onto the page to fit, then select FILE > EXPORT and select Adobe PDF or Adobe PDF (Print) and export it.
This workflow is optimized for architecture where we need our scale to remain predictable and consistent.

Project size a lot larger than movie size

Hi,
When I add a 500 mb movie to iDVD, the project window shows it is using 3gb+ of disc space. Why is it using so much space? I was hoping to add at least 2 movies to one disc. My settings are NTSC, BEST PROFORMANCE, and SINGLE LAYER 4.2 GB.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this just the way it is?
Thanks

Don't worry about file size. iDVD is only concerned with the total playing time of all assets including menus. If your playing time is under 120 minutes it will fit on a single layer DVD-R disk.
If your playing time is less than 60 minutes you can use Best Performance encoding. Between 60 and 120 it can be either Best Quality or Professional Quality. If you have lots of movement in the movies then Professional Quality may give you better results particularly for those scenes with fast movement.

HP 2025dn print spooler shows large shocklwave file, prints slow as molasses

My fairly new HP 2025dn prints powerpoint slides very, very slowly, especially as compared to what the speeds I was led to believe I would see with this model.
On one forum where I found a similar complaint, a respondent gave instructions for checking out the print spooler to see if there was a hidden file impeding the flow.
I don't think there is, but what is now puzzling me is that when I print a page that is, say, 200kb, while the print job is running the print spooler dialogue folder is showing two files present-- an SHD file of 11kb, and a Shockwave Flash Object that is much larger (2.2MB) than the file actual size of the file that I'm printing.
Is there a fix to this-- either via the print spooler, the driver, or removing/compressing an item or object on the page that would speed up the agonizingly slow printing speed which I am experiencing?

Hi BillW1,
I would suggest to try the following:
Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Disable any Antivirus programs. Disable Antivirus software.
Disable any firewall programs. Windows Firewall from start to finish.
Create a new user account. Managing User Accounts and Logins (Windows 8).
Reinstall using the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
If these steps do not resolve your issue proceed with backing up your files, and reinstalling Windows 8.
Hope this solves the problem, and have a good day!

Why/how is my iPhoto library larger than the hard drive it is stored on?

I store my iPhoto library on a 2TB external hard drive. The library file itself claims to be 2.65TB and created 12 years before I purchased the computer (see pic). I have confirmed this on other computers.
I know my library to actually be closer to 680GB as I've been using it for a long time. When I click 'get info' on the drive itself, it shows it is around 945GB full which makes sense as there are other files also stored there.
Could someone please explain how a 2TB drive can hold a 2.65TB file? Then, could someone help me restore it back to its actual size? I would like to back up my library but can't easily move such a massive file. I am also worried about its stability as I presume something is corrupt in there.
Thanks in advance.
p.s. When you look at the image below, you may notice other libraries (the one in question is highlighted). I have had MANY troubles with crashing libraries and gone through MANY rebuilds to get my library to where it is now; complete and working but oddly sized (and not appropriately backed up!). If I could easily and safely migrate all my photos, their originals, their edits, the places and faces etc to another program I would definitely consider it because iPhoto and Aperture are simply not behaving as I'd like them to.

I am unsure if it has been formatted MacOS but it is a My Passport for Mac so I imagine it was initially set up correctly - especially as it has worked well until now.
You can check that by selecting your external drive in the Finder and using the command "File Get Info ⌘I " on the drive. The General section of the info panel will show you the File System.
I have never seen that symbol in in iPhoto. In Aperture it is marking photos that have been downloaded from Photo Stream or Flickr or Facebook. Are you syncing your library with any of these services?

Compressor setting so it won't output a video larger than source?

Hello.
I am sending a whole library of videos (most Apple ProRes, but varrying video dimensions based on the project) through Compressor 4 and I'm having an issue where, for some of the videos (with smaller video dimensions), the settings I'm choosing result in the transcoded videos being larger (in terms of dimensions) than the source (ie. if the source is 720p, the resulting video is 1080p).
I am using the following two settings:
- HD for Apple Devices (5 Mbps)
- HD 1080p for Video Sharing
Example 1 - I fed a 640 x 360 (Apple ProRes) file into Compressor 4 and selected the "HD for Apple Devices (5 Mbps)" preset. The resulting transcoded video was larger than 640 x 360 (I can't remember the actual size anymore, sorry). There is no option available, that I can see, to modify the preset to NOT create a file larger than the source?
Example 2 - I fed a 720p (Apple Animation) file into Compressor 4 and selected the "HD 1080p for Video Sharing" preset. The resulting transcoded video was 1080p. I though because the preset is marked "Up to 1920 x 1080" it wouldn't go beyond 1080p (ie. scale down anything larger to 1080p), but also thought that it would maintain the source dimensions and not enlarge a 720p source to 1080p?
Maybe this is how Compressor is supposed to work (ie. making resulting videos larger than source), but I'm hoping there's a way to modify the presets to not do this "ie. an option to not create a video with dimensions larger than the source)? Is this possible?
Thanks,
Kristin.

Apple devices have a standard frame size they encode to, so yes, this is how it works.
