Partial 4x6 photo prints

Have a Photosmart C4400. When printing 4x6 photos on HP premium photo paper, only the bottom 1/3 prints.
It will print a 4x6 with 8x11 premium paper. Not the solution I'm looking for.
Any idea's?

Hi Bryan,
This is certainly strange. What type of printer is this? Is it network or directly connected? Also, I did not understand from your first post: did using File»Print also give you 1/4 of the page or did that work as expected?
Can your printer print other documents perfectly - such as opening the saved html file and going to File»Print from there?

Photosmart 8750 4x6 photo printing skewed

I am using a Photosmart 8750 on a home network with 4 computers, one with XP-Pro SP3, one with XP-Home SP3, one with Win98-SE, and I've just done a clean install on the 4th machine of Vista-Ultimate 64-bit SP-1. The three older machines can print a 4x6 photo on 4x6 paper flawlessly, with or without borders. The new Vista machine prints with no border at the top and 1/2-inch border down the right side. The bottom and left borders look to be about 1/8-inch. If I switch to "borderless 4x6" The same thing happens--a 1/2-inch border on the right, the top of the photo is cut off, and a small border on the left and bottom. The application I'm using on the Vista machine is the Windows Photo Gallery, but I have the same problem if I print from Photoshop elements.
This can't be caused by the media or the printer since three machines can print perfectly using the same photo file on the same printer. I have tried every setting in Printer Preferences to no avail. I noticed someone else with a different model printer had the same problem but didn't say what OS was running. Has anyone else had this problem and come up with a reliable fix?
Letters on 8.5x11 in Word or Excel print perfectly.

Still having the same issues (messed up 4x6 printing and bottom line cut off of text) and add another one. Today I attempted to print an 8x10 photo from Photoshop Elements v6.0 and got the message "program has stopped responding." After several attempts I decided to try printing from Windows "Photo Gallery" but nothing happens. The printer makes a noise as if it is about to print but then nothing happens.
I can print over my network to my older Laser Jet printer and I can go to another computer running XP-Pro with SP3 and print beautifully on the Photosmart 8750, but from 64-bit Vista, nothing happens when attempting to print an 8x10 on 8.5x11 photo paper. I've tried loading drivers for a different model printer but that was unsuccessful. Anyone have a solution to these problems?

Using C4795 printer for 4X6 photo printing. Prints not registered, can start randomly on page, skip

C4795, printing 4X6 photos with new iMAC and iPhoto software. Downloaded latest drivers. Printing starts randomly on page,
sometimes skipping half a page, sometimes just a sliver. Prints are OK with my other 8150 printer, but not 4795. Any ideas?
Thanks, John

Hi John.
Perhaps it's a printer configuration problem (maybe the paper size is set to a different value than what's in the printer), but you may want to try printing with HP Photo Creations as a test. The program is a free download from www.hp.com/go/hppc, and can load photos from your iPhoto library.
Here's a quick tutorial on printing 4x6 photos with HP Photo Creations:

L7680 Won't print 4x6 photo-Error Code B842F086

Prints letter size OK. Test page and alignment pages good. When I try to print 4x6 photos, printer locks up and I get an immediate error message “Turn power off then on again”, then error code B842F086. Later, the message “….Improper shut down”

Yes, it has always printed 4x6 just fine. I am talking about 'borderless' 4x6. Just as an experiment, I tried 4x6 with border and one other 4x6 format (don't remember), no joy. They I retried 4x6 bordrless and it worked fine. Printed several sets of photos.
Go figure???

Off center 4x6 photos

Is it my printer or something else? Printing 4x6 photos with an HP L7590 AIO from iPhoto and the right margin or the top margin is but a sliver depending on whether it's horizontal or vertical. Contacted Hp support and their suggestion was to use HP Photosmart Studio for printing. The margins are more equal with that option but it's a bit more time consuming than printing directly from iPhoto. There must be a setting somewhere for the margins. I thought that maybe by constraining the image to 4x6 would be the answer but the photos still come out off center. Even when printing borderless there is a narrow white margin on one side even with 5x7s. Haven't tried printing a 5x7 without checking borderless so I don't know what the results would be.
I would like to begin with solving the non-centered 4x6 photo printing first.

Thank you LN for your suggestions.
I deleted the .plist file, reset the personal preferences and printed a horizontal 4x6 photo that was previously constrained to 4x6 in iPhoto.
Unfortunately, the top margin on the horizontal print is about 1/16" and the bottom one is 3/16".
The left margin is almost 5/16" and the right side is closer to 1/2".
The paper is 4x6 hp advanced glossy Q7906A and the measurements above are after removing the tear off tab.
The iPhoto library has never been moved from its original location.

Borderless Photo Prints on Canon CP-200 (Selphy)

I am trying to print photos on a Canon photo printer, a CP-200 (small 4x6" photo printer). The printer is recognized by Leopard, and it does print.. just not the way I want.
No matter what settings I adjust, I cannot get it to print borderless (which is the normal printing mode, if I hook a camera directly to the printer it prints borderless). I tried the custom printer settings, where it had an option for "Borderless: Yes/No" but it still didn't print borderless.
On my old G4 Mini, I installed the Canon drivers, and was able to print borderless. But, Canon doesn't make Intel drivers for this printer, so I cannot go that route. My only workaround so far is to print from Windows (in a Parallels VM), which is really clunky.
Any tips?

FWIW, In Mac OS X 10.5.1, I did not have any drivers available in "Add Printer" for the CP-200, so I downloaded the ancient "CP Driver 2.41 OS X" from Canon's web site (2/17/04, certified for Mac OS X 10.2) and ran that installer and rebooted. I didn't even have to go through the "Add Printer" step. My CP-200 simply appeared in the Print dialog's popup.
I can print borderless in iPhoto, but I haven't tried any other settings or applications, given the cost of experimenting.
I installed Leopard with "Archive & Install" and I believe I let it install Canon drivers, but I didn't see more than 2 or 3 Canon choices when I initially tried the "Add Printer" popup.

HP officejet pro 8625 4x6 photos

4x6 Photos printing off center

Hello Matteo321,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with the photos not being centered.
Please remove the rear access panel of the printer and make sure that the little wheels on the panel spin freely and that we do not have any little bits of paper caught in the rollers.
When reconnecting the rear access panel, please make sure that both sides click into place. If one side is not closed, the prints will go through the printer crooked.
Also, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
Write me back at any time if you have any other questions or concerns.

Printing 4x6 photos on HP Laserjet 4630. photo paper tray not working?

I am trying to print 4x6 photos on glossy paper. My printer has a photo paper tray in addition to a standard letter tray. When I specify 4x6 borderless glossy paper in the print parameters, the printer keeps pulling from the standard paper tray instead of the photo tray on top of the printer. This has worked for me in the past, but I haven't used it in a long time. What must I be doing wrong?

Hey. I'm a photographer with the C4280.
This printer takes care of 8.5 x 11's pretty much perfectly. But 4 x 6 not for me on iPhoto or Photoshop.
So what I did was I set up a pages document with a blank template, set at 4 x 6 inches.
I dragged rulers about .25inches in and threw in the photo set at 4 x 6 ratio. So... most photos are 4 x 6, just resize it to fit in the rulers.
I've noticed in most occasions it cuts off the top of the photo document when laid out in portrait.
What I do is a hit command p, select the printer but choose under the drop box that says "layout" i hit borderless printing, and a selectable box will show up saying "print borderless" and i just clicked it.
on the document though you might want to make the opacity 10% to save ink. you have to trouble shoot the exact place to set and drag up or down the photo. but once you get it, its reliable the duration the document is open and the printer is on.
i know its kind of pointless for one, but i had a shoot with live printing on the spot with this printer and its great. you can add texts boxes and put those perfectly where you want (once you set the picture so its set) and throw in another picture and really customize the 4 x 6.
i printed a postcard with the writing already in it. just had to mail it no writing involved.
you also need iwork 08 or 09. i have 08 but im sure 09 works. so if you save the pages doc as a template you can just drag in the image file into where the old image is and print that way.
command p, choose borderless printing in the drop box and click print borderless. it should work.
email me for a copy of my pages document. [email protected]
i promise though, with canon or epson 4 x 6 print paper, its pretty amazing. almost comparable to my prints from my printer.
or you can fit 12 3.5 x 2inch (business card sized) pics on an 8.5 x 11.

Deskjet 6988dt, how to use photo/envelope slot for printing 4x6 photo paper?

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS. Printer has the extra250 sheet paper tray. Upper and lower tray work fine. I can of course load photo paper in upper tray and print photos from there, but I was trying to load just one sheet of photo paper in the little slot since I don't want to have photo paper loaded all the time. Since I have to use the generic Windows driver for this printer as HP doesn't have a driver update for this printer and Windows 7, the only selections I'm seeing in printer properties is "automatic, upper, lower". I've tried all three of those settings and none take the paper from the little slot where I'm manually feeding the 4x6 photo paper. What am I doing wrong? Could it be that this feature just isn't enabled with the generic Windows driver?
The reference/instruction documentation that came with this printer is very sparse. I can't find any instruction on how to use the photo/evelope slot. In fact I'd say overall the documentation is very poor.
I just checked the HP site, still no Windows 7 64-bit driver available.
Thanks for any help or ideas.

Found a .pdf document on line for the Desjet 6980 series printers. Much more comprehensive than what came with the printer.

Follow these steps to use the photo/envelope feeder to print a single photo:
1. Insert the photo paper into the photo/envelope feeder with the side to be printed on
facing down.
2. Gently push the photo paper into the photo/envelope feeder as far as it will
comfortably go.
3. Slide the photo/envelope feeder forward as far as it will go.
4. Print the photo.
Problem was, although I was inserting the 4x6 photo paper into the feeder, I wasn't pushing the little plastic slide forward.

How do I print 4x6 photos on an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus via Windows Photo Viewer or Gallery

Dear Experts, I've got an HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer with just one paper tray in which I loaded 4x6 photo paper.
The printer was purchased in January 2014, the latest drivers are installed. Now I would like to print a single 4x6 photo using Windows Photo Viewer or Gallery.I loaded the 4x6 photo paper into the tray as indicated by the little icon labeled 4x6in, so I suppose I got the HW part right. It's just the SW part which gives me a hard time. The available paper size options in Windows Photo Viewer and Gallerydon't include photo paper sizes, just the standard paper and envelope sizes.Hence I checked in the HP Printer Assistant in "Set Preferences" what kind of paper sizes are available, and there is exactly the same list as proposed by Gallery, missing photo paper sizes. So I guess Gallery just picks the sizes from the driver and ther are no photo paper sizes. This is an issue because I prefer to print from my PC using Win 7 or Win 8 and not from a SD card or a USB stick. Any help is very welcome, thank you in advance!

Thank you for this link! Actually I installed a brand new Windows 8 system in January 2014 and then bought the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus printer a few days later. To install this printer I did not use the CD that came with it but already used this link. Just to be sure that I have the latest version I again reinstalled the driver. The result is definitive: You cannot print common photo paper sizes like 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, etc. via a PC using photo SW like HP Photo Creations, MS Gallery, Windows Photo Viewer or any other SW on a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus. The reason is most likely that HP marketing decided that an Officejet should not be smart enough for photos, after all the company sells also Photosmarts. Because you cannot create your own formats you are limited by the driver to what is typically available in an office, in this case: A4, Letter, legal, Statement, Executive, A4, A5, A6, B54 (JIS), Envelopes #10-DL-C5-C6-A2-Monarch, Japanese Postcard, Japanese Envelope Chou #3-#4, L, 2L, O**bleep**u hagaki, Index Card Letter-A4, Edge-to-Edge Letter-A4, Env. Japanese No 3-No 4 and that's it, not more. Thank you anyway for trying to help me but in this case only the SW developers in HP can help.It would be great to be able to print from time to time a 4x6 photo on this printer like I would do.Copying photos on a USB stick or on a SD card first and then use this way to print on the printer is too cumbersome for me.

Printing 4x6 Photos in Adobe Photoshop Album Starter 3.0

Some time ago, I thought I downloaded a fix to this program to allow three 4x6 photographs to be printed on one page. I can't find this subject again. The problem is that although the Print Preview shows three 4x6 prints on a page, it actually prints only two to the first page and then kicks the third one to a second page. This is in the individual prints layout. The Page Setup will not allow me to change any margins, and it makes no difference whether "Crop to Match" is selected. Does anyone have any information on how to get three 4x6 photos to print to a page? Thank you.

Hello, Jim--
Thank you for trying to help me! I discovered that I just couldn't do anything to make this work on my Lexmark printer, even with margin considerations. We just bought a new HP printer that we're still experimenting with, and my three 4x6 photo format comes out perfectly on that. So, it's out with the Lexmark, in with the HP! Thanks again for your response. I appreciate it.

I am suddenly having a problem printing 4x6 photos. The print as though starting in the middle of an 8x10 sheet. I've checked and double-checked the print settings. Anyone else have this problem?

I have an I pad, hooked to a wireless printer , I need to print my bank statements. I know you have to snapshot it first, but it is printing on 4x6 photo paper is all. I need it to print on regular 8x10 paper so it will print the whole page and

How can I print off my I pad for bank statements on reg paper not 4x6 photo paper?

How nice of you to wait three whole minutes for an answer.
I don't know what you mean by "I have to snapshot it first". Can you explain what you mean? If you're making a screenshot and printing from your photo application, you're going about things in a very odd way. You should be using the Share - Print icon from whatever app (Safari?) your bank statement is in.

Trying to print 4x6 photos on 7520, always gives no paper in tray message

I am trying to print 4x6 photos from my laptop. I have changed the preferences for the printer to "photo tray" and 4x6 photo paper. I keep getting the message "no paper in tray". The main tray is empty and I have 4x6 photo paper in the photo tray. What next?

the settings are correct. if I put paper in the main tray it prints the picture on paper, not photo paper. I printed a test page last night and it printed on the photo paper. I still get the same message when trying to print the photo. Thanks
