Need help printing contact sheet

I am trying to print a contact sheet photo booth style. I have 20 photos (5 rows, 4 to a row). When I hit print and contact sheet, there are 3 to a row. When I customize by sliding bar to 4 per row, it completely reorders the whole set of 20 and I can't cut them in the strips of 4 as I had planned. Help, please!

WOrst case you will have to do 5 prints of 4 photos each
I'vt but I seem to remember form sometime g=that on the customize preview you can drag te photos around to reorder - give it a shot

Printing Contact Sheets

Hello
I am trying to print a 4.5 x 5.75 contact sheet of 8 images, which I have saved as a preset. I have printed this many times in the past but this time I am getting a error message (which appears in the print dialog box too quickly for me to read.)
Anyways it seems to be isolated to printing contact sheets. If I try to print a single image from Aperture there is no problem. I have tried rebuilding my Aperture library, tried rebooting, but don't know what else to try?
Any suggestions?
Thanks for the help.

Miklos:
One poster pointed out that you could create a book using the Year Book theme. There you can select to have anywhere from 1 to 32 images per page and include the file names underneath the photos if desired. Then print the book to PDF and then print each page to hardcopy. Don't know if that will reduce your overall assembly time but you will be able to have the file names or titles printed also.
Another way is to create an html gallery, display in Safari and then print. Here's how:
Creating Contact Sheet with Titles
1 - Put the files you want to print in an album and arrange in the order you'd like.
2 - Go to the File->Export->Web Page menu option.
3 - While in the Web page window, select the number of thumbnails you'd like across each page (iPhoto will keep you informed on how many pages it will take).
4 - Click on Show Title under thumbnails and click on Export. Then select the location where you'd like the resulting files to be saved (create a temporary folder to contain them).
5 - Once saved, go the folder and open the index.html file with your browser. You will get a page with your thumbnails and titles beneath them.
6 - Print that browser page and you've got your contact sheet with file names (or comments if desired).
If you want more control over the thumbnail gallery, try using BetterHTMLExport or Galerie
Good luck.

How on Earth do you Print Contact Sheet in Landscape Orientation in the new iPhoto?

Just upgraded to Maverick and new iPhoto and boy am I sorry. In the last version of of iPhoto it was really difficult to print 4 to a page contact sheets from iPhoto in landscape mode. Why would you want to print in any othe mode when most photos are taken in landscape?
Pleae help as I have to print these photos ASAP for a client.

First set the page size to letter- borderless. Next after selecting the Contact theme click on the Print Settings button and reset the page size to 11 wide and 8.5 high.
Finally set the columns to 2 which will give you this:
To test it without having to print each time use the PDF ➙ Save as PDF menu option. If all looks good you can print from the PDF file.
There's no provision for adding a title at the top of the page. However, create a TextEdit, Word, Pages, etc., document, put the title at the top and print over the printed contact sheet.

Printing Contact Sheets in Elements 5.0

When printing contact sheets is it possible to also print file #'s or a number of my choosing under the pictures? I've been able to do this with previous versions but can't seem to find it in version 5. Thanks for any help...

Having chosen Contact Sheet as the Type of Print, you can choose to print File name.
Whether the file name contains a number useful for this purpose probably depends on your workflow.
Personally, I would not consider another choice - Caption - useful for this purpose because the caption is a permanent part of the photo file and does not seem applicable for a specific contact sheet. Yet there are some cases where it might work.

Can't print contact sheets on Epson R1800 with LR3

I upgraded to Lightroom 3 a few months ago and can't print contact sheets on 13x16" sheets using my Epson R1800 (it worked fine before in Lightroom 2).
I have this problem on both an iMac and Macbook Pro, both running the latest version of Snow Leopard.
I've tried re-installing the drivers, open the program in 32 bit mode and no joy.
I can use the Print Module no problem and can print 4x6 single prints or even do a 2x2 contact sheet on a 4x6. I can also print a 7x7 contact sheet on a 13x19" sheet using draft mode, but if I try to use profiles (the images are way too dark in draft mode), LR will spend a few minutes rendering the images, while this is happening the job appears in the Epson utility, but once LR has finished rendering, the progress bar disappears along with the job in the Epson utility and nothing happens?
Anybody experience something similar?
Thanks in advance for replying.
John

Print Drivers on OS X aren't the same as on Windows...
You can't use an Epson driver made for USB-only Epson printers, because they wrote the driver to only work via USB. To use the CUPS Windows printer protocol, you need a driver written to use CUPS. The Gutenprint drivers Apple included in OS X are CUPS drivers. An update is here:

If your specific model isn't yet supported, try other model drivers.

Can I print contact sheets from Iphoto or aperture with file names?

I can not figure out nor am I sure it can be done with these programs but if someone out there can tell me how I would be very happy. I have several jobs I need contacts on I have been printing contact sheets and then handwriting the file numbers. To old fashion for me. HELP

1. In the browser pane in Aperture, select the images you need.
2. File>Print...
3. On the left-hand side of the print dialog, click on 'Sample Contact Sheet Preset'.
4. In the layout options there is a drop-down menu for which metadata set you want to show below the images. You may get away with using 'Name Only' which gives you the current Version Name, otherwise you may have to make a new metadata set* containing just the filename.
Ian
* Making new metadata sets has been covered several times on the forum, the search function is your friend.
P.S. Welcome to the forum!

I've added caption information to my files, but not all the information prints when I try to print contact sheets. Please advise.

I've added caption information to my files and when I go to print contact sheets, not all of the caption information will print. Is there some limit on information for captions? I've added several lines of information. Thanks for your assistance.
Regards,
Alan

HI Leonie,
Thanks for the input. I checked it out and you are correct in that only 3 lines of information can be printed. I've adjusted my information for 3 line s and it works.
Thanks for your help.

Unable to print Contact Sheets from iPhoto

Hi there,
Since installing Lion 10.7.5 on my Mac Pro I no longer get the option to print Contact Sheets from iPhoto. I'm running quite an old version of it I think (Version 6.0.6), however this was no problem before the upgrade.
Can anyone suggest a solution for this?
Thanks in advance.

I just fired up my iPhoto 6.0.6 under Mt. Lion and I have no contact option in that version either. You'll have to upgrade to at least iPhoto 7 (08) in order to get contact sheets back. So you might as well upgrade to the latest iPhoto from the App Store.
If you also want the latest versions of iWeb and iDVD (which have been discontinued by Apple) you'll have to purchase a copy of the iLife 11 disc from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: iLife 11.

Printing contact sheet from iPhoto

How can I print a contact sheet from iPhoto that retains the order of photos in my album?
I've placed the photos of which I want to make a contact sheet in their own album. I've organized them according to how I'd like them to print. However, when I go to print/contact sheet/custom to set the number of images per page and hit the print button, the photos are reorganized according the the main photo folder into which the images were originally imported - that is to say, by date order.

My printer does support landscape and portrait printing. It is the latest version of iPhoto 9.5.3 that only offers a minimal choice of printer, paper size and paper type. There are no formatting options available other than "Fit, Fill, Custom, 20x25cm, 13x18cm, 10x15cm and contact sheet". Another example of Appple degrading software to make it iOS compatible!
Perhaps Apple should be reading what their customers are complaining about and do something to restore the quality of their downgraded software.

Cannot print contact sheet

I have not been able to find anything about this problem with a search.
I cannot print a contact sheet with iphoto 4.0.3. When ever I try to print, the print will start to print the top line and then stop after 2 passes and freeze.
I used to be able to print contact sheets .... but have not printed one for about a year now.
I want to back up photos with a contact sheet to go with the disk.

Trashing the iPhoto preferences file (com.apple.iPhoto.plist) is a place to start, but I suspect since the printer starts the job and doesn't finish it, you likely have some corruption in your photo library database.
If the first suggestion doesn't resolve the issue, start iPhoto while holding the option+shift keys and hold the keys until your prompted to confirm your intention to rebuild. Click "Yes", then click "Save".
If the rebuild is successful and you're happy with it, trash the original iPhoto Library folder to free-up disk space.

IPhoto freezes when asked to print contact sheet.

iPhoto had been working fine (well, as fine as iPhoto can be expected to work ) including printing off contact sheets, until it just stopped being able to do the latter.
It got stuck on the 'processing page 1' loading bar, and then what I assumed to be an error message appeared, except that I couldn't read it because it was so frozen that all the text was garbled. Then it printed out the second and last page of the contacts fine but the first page appeared extremely faded - to the point that the images weren't actually discernible.
Have repeated this process 3 or 4 times to see if it worked but with the same result each time. Only force quit enables me to exit. Recently purged my iPhoto of 99% of its content in the hope it would speed up, so I can't imagine it has anything to do with that.
I hate iPhoto. That aside, can anyone help?
Thanks

Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.
3 - try the contact sheet again.
Are you able to Save as PDF in the Print window and what does the PDF look like if you do.

Lightroom 5.4 and Acrobat XI Pro - print contact sheet to PDF not working

Since upgrading to Lightoom 5 and Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, I have been unable to print a contact sheet to PDF. Although it goes through the motions of rendering and providing a "save as" dialog box, nothing is produced. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the quick reply. The following are my system specs. This feature has worked in the past but since upgrading from LR4 to LR5, this feature has stopped working. I can print to a printer, but not to a PDF.
HP Z800 Workstation
Duel Intel Xeon X5670 @ 2.93GHz Processors
18 GB RAM
Windows 7 Professional
Lightroom 5.4
Acrobat XI Pro (Version 11.0.06.70)
It will go through the motions, as if it is creating the PDF, but it doesn't output anything. I've restarted Lightroom and rebooted my system, but nothing seems to help.

Customizing iPhoto print contact sheet

Using the new version of Photo and cannot figure out how to manually sort pictures on the "contact sheet" option for printing. The older version allowed for dragging and moving images to customize the order. I'm not trying to change the size of the images but need the capability to change the order of appearance on the contact sheet. Any suggestions?

Print the photos from an album you create for printing, and arrange the photos in the album before printing. The contact sheet will have the sort order in the album.
To sort an album manually by dragging use the View menu:

Can't print contact sheet in iPhoto 11

iPhoto 11 9.4.3: OS 10.8.5; iMac mid 2011; Epson WP-4020 printer. All of a sudden, I cannot print a contact sheet from iPhoto. Had no problem doing so before. I now get error message from printer "Paper out, incorrect loading, or paper jam," none of which apply. No problem printing individual photos or anything else. Other posts have indicated a problem with a theme not being selected and to select one after clicking on a theme button. I cannot find the theme button to check this out. Where is this button and would this solve my problem?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
