Photo Paper Size: Where is 4x6???

I am using PS Elements, and I am an infrequent user. I am simply trying to print a 2"x3" image on a 4x6 photo paper, but PS Elements doesn't list the most common photo paper size (for your average user...) on it's drop down menue, under 'Paper Size'. It's enough to drive you nuts...

I use PSEv.8
Print from the Editor
Crop your picture to 2x3"
Go to File>print. In the dialog:
#3 Paper size>4x6" and 4x6" borderless are listed
#4 Use individual print
#5 Print size is an option available to you. If you crop before sending it to the printer, you will have absolute control. Note the "crop to fit" box.

Changing photo paper size

I have a printer which has a n adapter to hold photo paper to print 4x6 photos. Are there adapters that will hold different size photo paper and where can I purchase?

Hi there, unfortunately any image files printed via the ePrint service are automatically printed in 4 x 6" size. Using the smaller paper size you have will only result in sections of your images being cropped and lost from the printed output.
Sorry about that.

My HP phoyosmsrt 7510 wont print 4x6 photo paper from computer/ ok 4x6 from printer itself

1. HP photosmart 7510 c311a
2. machine a. windows vista
b. windows 7
3. no error messages
4. new printer added 1 day ago....prints from bottom paper tray only from computer but prints from both trays from the printer itself

I'm having the same problem. Is there something in the software that I am missing. I use Windows Live Photo Gallery software for the image, adjust the photo size to 4x6. It prints a 4x6 photo on the 8x10 paper. How do I tell the printer to use the size paper I am wanting for each photo? Can it be changed print by print? How do I switch it back to the 8x10 paper tray when needed? Is there a page in the manual I can refer to? Thanks for any assistance.

How small of photo paper can I use on a c309a

I need to use the smallest photo paper that I can use. I can not find anything in the manual. What is the smalles photo paper size.
thanks
MIke

The spec's for minimum size do not seem to be listed in the manual. The driver allows selection of index cards down to 3"x5" and photo paper down to 3.5" x 5". The driver does allow printing multiple logical pages per page, you could print 2 or 4 photo's on your 3.5"x5" or 4"x6" pages.

Printing photos from my computer using hp 6520 printer won't pick up photo paper.

I have a new HP 6520. When I try to print photos from my computer, I get an error message that the paper tray is empty. It does not pick up the photo paper and print. Help!!!

1. My paper tray(s) are propertly loaded, I'm not a novice. 2. The bottom tray is LOADED properly. 3. The UPPER PHOTO TRAY is also loaded properly, shiny side down of course, properly filled and pushed forward as far as it can go. (It worked fine an hour ago when I printed a couple of photos). 4. Now no matter what I do, how I specify photo paper size, IT ONLY PRINTS OUT ON REGULAR PAPER FROM THE BOTTOM TRAY (8"X10") ordinary paper!! 5. When I UNLOAD the bottom tray, in an attempt to "fool" the device so that there's is NOTHING BUT photo paper, I get a prompt telling me I must load the paper before it will print the photo! Of course when I reload the bottom tray with the ordinary paper, it still prints out the photo FROM THE BOTTOM TRAY PAPER!! I'm wasting ink and paper and I'm not happy. I was on the phone for more than 2 hours two weeks' ago getting the first NEW printer set up and it was decided by all four techs I spoke to that I indeed needed to have a new device. 6. I received this replacement device just 4 days ago, another couple of hours speaking to India, finally worked ok, even unti earlier this evening but NOW it will NOT use photo paper from the upper tray. WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THESE TROUBLESOME HP6520'S? I had a Photosmart 560 for years until it "died" a few weeks' ago and since then, this is my story with this product. You can check with India tech support to find my complete dealings with them vis-a-vis this product.
AND when I tried to sign up for this support 3 times I got refused telling me that the screen name I offered was already taken. Apparently the app was taking my information from when I may have signed up a couple of years' ago when I had an issue with my Photosmart 560.

C5180 won't print on 4" x 6" photo paper

I can no longer print on 4 x 6 photo paper from my C5180 (purchased 2007). The only paper choices on the drop down are "letter" and "A4". This happened after my files and software were put onto a new computter. I just reinstalled the C5180 driver from the HP website, but I still can't get back the photo-paper sizes or options. My photos are in Kodak EasyShare and also outside Kodak, as basic "lloose" .JPGS. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hello Newtonian,
GO to control panel and printers (depends on which os you have on how) rightclick the icon of your printer and select printing preferances. Go to the features tab and with paper size select more, here you normally can select the correct size. If note use custom to make your own size.

I am unable to select the correct paper size when printing photo's in iPhoto 11. When I select the paper size in the custom window for 4x6 prints the prints only appear on an 8 1/2x11 page. My Mac is a year old iMac running 10.8.2.

I am unable to print 4x6 photo's using iPhoto 11. When I do they only print out on lettter size paper even though I enter 4x6 in the custom window in the print size menu. My older Snow Leopard system using iPhoto 9 the paper size window offered a 4x6 paper size which worked well.

Selecting paper size in the first sreen tellis iPhoto what papery you are going to use - it does not tell the printer what paper to use - printer specific options on on the last (second or third if you customize the print) screen where you tell the print any specifics like paper source (typically printers need to you tell them where a specific paper is loaded - they do not really know the sizes in each paper tray)

Printing on HP 4x6 Photo Paper with HP 8620/8625 printer

How do you print pictures on 4x6 HP Photopaper using the HP8620 printer? I can't believe there are no instructions in the 30 language manual the comes with it. I've loaded the paper with the shiney side down, the paper feeds, but I get "Paper type Mismatch" error.
Right now I'm trying to print with Picasa. I had no problem on my HP C309g printer.
Thank you in advance. I'm about to take this thing back!

@Raskolnyki
Good news, you can "add" a form for the 4X6 or 4X6.5 (tabbed) paper size.
The basic instructions are already available for the printer, though not where you'd expect:
Create Custom Paper Sizes in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac OS X
I created a new 4X6.5in form so I could use my 4X6 inch tabbed photo paper in my new printer. The printer was throwing "paper mismatch" errors at the 4X6 form.
The examples to create the form are included in this document:
Printing Preferences

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.
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00591373.pdf
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 get my HP 2645 to print 4x6 cards. It gives me a mismatch paper size error

How do I get my HP 2645 to print 4x6 cards? It gives me a mismatch paper size error.

Hi @aleek,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums! I see you would like to print 4x6 cards to your HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2645, when you attempt to print the card you get a 'Paper Mismatch' error.
I would like you to go ahead and take a look in your User Guide on page 10, here it shows how to load the media and change the printing preferences, although it shows Photos, you would use the same guidelines and steps for the Index cards, just be sure to change the media type to the correct card you are using.
Once you have the media loaded and settings set if you are still getting the error, continue here: 'Paper Mismatch,' or 'Paper Size Mismatch' Error Message Displays When Printing
I hope this helps, if you have anymore questions please let me know.

When i select print photo 4x6 it prints on 10 x11 paper. there photo paper in tray

i choose 4x6 photo on computer and hit print. it comes out on regular paper 10x11

Hi
What are you printing from?
Mac / Windows?
What program?
If your on windows please check your printing preferences to ensure its set to the photo paper and the paper size
also ensure you only have the photo paper in the tray and it isnt just sitting on the top of the plain paper (you'd be suprised at how many people do this)
And that the photo paper is facing glossy side down.
Hope this helps!

Printing only on half 4x6 photo paper

My printer is only printing on half the photo paper 4x6. I have changed the preference settings on my hp printer to photo paper the paper size but it's just printing the picture small and on the edge leaving a wide blank space. If I trimmed the photo down it would be too small. Any ideas why this is happening.

Hi,
You have to go to the next page, first page only lists 12 items. Anyway, HP supplies larger size papers for Laser printers. I don't know the reason behind:
http://store.hp.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryListingView?catalogId=10051&categoryId=88331&l...
I don't print photos at home, cost too much but for testing, I normally print 4 photos on one sheet (A4) and cut in 4.

Photosmart C410: How do I associate a custom paper size with the photo tray?

Our Photosmart 3310 recently broke down and I purchased a C410 to replace it. I sell a small item online that I ship in 3 5/8 x 6 1/2 envelopes. With the 3310, I had figured out a way to print the envelopes from the photo tray. While Word 2007 allows me to select the photo tray, the printer would not print from there until I created a custom paper size in the printer preferences dialog box.
One of the reasons I got the C410 was for the photo tray. It's a real pain to have to swap out the regular paper and stick in one evelope every time I want to print another envelope. Well, unfortunately, that's what I've been doing. I select the photo tray in Word, but the printer goes right ahead and prints from the main tray. I had forgotten what I did to make it work on the 3310, so I experimented with that printer's drivers until I figured it out.
My problem is that the software interface for the C410 is different than that for the 3310. I can't figure out how to associate a custom paper size with the photo tray. To test my theory this evening, I told Word that my envelope size was 5 x 7. The printer didn't hesitate to take an envelope from the photo tray. Of course the return address went into a dark void because the envelope is not 5 x 7.
The difference between the two interfaces is that the 3310 has both printing shortcuts as well as "Print Task Quick Sets." The C410 only has printing shortcuts.
If anyone can help me, I'll be very grateful! I've probably spent hours trying to get this figured out, and I have no idea what to do.

Hi,
Which Microsoft product (application) are you using ? Printer supports the following custom sizes:
From ADF: Custom-sized media (ADF) between 127 to 216 mm wide and 241 to 305 mm long (5 to 8.5 inches wide and 9.5 to 12 inches long)
From input tray: Custom-sized media between 76.2 to 216 mm wide and 101 to 762 mm long (3 to 8.5 inches wide and 4 to 30 inches long)
You need to select right custom size from the application.
Regards.
