Photos not printing from Iphoto

I have an Hp photosmart 6520. I cannot print photos from Iphoto. The printer
says it is printing, the photo paper feeds through but nothing prints.

OK - we know that it is not a gneeral ssytem or printer problem
so next start by providing details
what version of iPhoto? Is OS X 10.6.8 correct for your OS?
does the print priview window look ok in iPhoto? Step by step how are you printing in iPhoto?

Why do 4x6 photos not print from computer on 7520 HP printer

In settings I changed it to 4x6 photo paper and set it at that default. Then when I want to print from the 4x6 tray it tells me the tray is empty meaning the 8x11 tray is empty, which should be empty. It should switch to the 4x6 tray but it does not do that so therefore I can not print 4x6 photos. What else can I do? Am I missing something?

I found the answer to my own problem. Leave the paper in the bottom tray as well when one puts photo paper in the 4x6 tray. That is the reason it tells me my tray is empty when in fact the bottom 8x11 tray should have paper in it as well. Only the Settings need to be changed for 4x6 photo paper and then change it back to the 8x11 to letter paper.

Epson Stylus C88+ won't print from iPhoto 6

Recently bought an Epson Stylus C88+ printer to replace the Stylus C86 that is not printing well anymore. Discovered that the C88+ does not print from iPhoto 6.0.5! The printer does print from Photoshop Elements 2 and does print documents fine. When we choose "Apple P" it starts the printing process, makes the starting noise, but then stops and the red exclamation point appears next to the printer icon on the dock. The original driver came from the printer's install CD that came with printer. I had seen some instructions from Epson about removing and reinstalling the printer driver, so I have done the following: 1) removed the 2 printers above from the Printer Setup Utility, 2) reset the printing system in Printer Setup Utility, 3) removed the Epson folder from the Library folder in Mac HD, 4) deleted the Epson printer receipts from the Library folder in Mac HD, and 5) reinstalled the C88+ driver from the Epson website. It still does the same as before. Any othe ideas?

I'm not sure what I should be looking for in Page setup settings and iPhoto print window. How do I check the driver in Printer Setup Utility? I already added the printer after reinstalling the driver from the Epson website; Printer setup utility seemed to find the driver when I did that because the printer is listed and printer is otherwise working.
I also looked at Colosync utility as you suggested and found my computer under devices and verified the Profiles in Profile First Aid. Nothing was found wrong for any Epson device, only some Lexmark profiles were incorrect (they must be ones installed with Tiger that I don't use), so didn't do the repair.
Here is what it says in System Profiler for the printer (doesn't actually say Epson USB and I wonder what the question mark means):
Stylus C88:
Status: Idle
Print Server: Local
Driver Version: 2.72
Default: Yes
URI: usb://EPSON/Stylus C88?serial=FGS020609051637250
PPD: EPSON C88 Series (1)
PPD File Version: 1.0
PostScript Version: (3011.104) 0
I'm not sure where they get that serial number from. The one on the back of the printer is totally different. I was a little suspicious that nowhere in the Printer setup utility or system profiler does it actually say I have a C88+; it just says C88 series, etc. It says on the C88+ download page says I would get driver v2.7aA. I guess this is the same as what I have. I was warned by Epson that the C88 and C88+ are 2 totally different printers, but when I checked the C88 download page it says I would get v2.5bA, so I don't think I downloaded the wrong driver.
For anyone else who has the same problem, I have discovered that as a workaround I can open photos in Photoshop Elements from iPhoto and can print them using Elements, so I'm ok unless I want to try printing an iPhoto greeting card, etc.
Thanks for any additional thoughts.

Printed photos from Aperture 3.2.1 have lines through them - don't get that when printing from iPhoto

I recently downloaded Aperture 3.2.1 and after editing a couple photos (love that process!), tried to print them. Both had horizontal lines across the entire photo. I don't have this problem when printing from iPhoto.
As an FYI, I have this problem when printing from PSE too, but worked around it by importing edited photo back into iPhoto and printing from there. I don't want to do that with Aperture, because they have much better printing choices.
I have a Canon MP 500 & a Canon IP 4300 - same issue with either one.
I contacted Canon tech support and got this reply:
We appreciate your correspondence regarding your PIXMA MP500. I am sorry that lines are printing through photos printed from aperture.
If aperture is the only program the issue occurs with then the print setting in aperture will need to be changed. You will need to use the icc profiles for the paper you are using. For details changing the print preferences in aperture please goto: http://www.redrivercatalog.com/profiles/how-to-use-icc-color-printer-profiles-ap erture-3-canon.html
I looked at the link and basically had a brain freeze. It was very complex, and I was concerned that it was for Red River papers - I use HP paper.
I called HP to get their instructions for icc color printer profiles - complete zero. They said it's a printer issue and would be happy to sell me a HP printer.
Please, can anyone help a struggling Aperture newbie? I'm so frustrated.
Thanks - Jma

Hello Kirby,
Your recap is correct. I ran Apple Software Update and both programs are up to date. I looked on Canon's site and there are no new firmware updates for either printer.
When I select "print" in Aperture, I've selected the Canon MP500. Under the "Rendering" section, the color profile offers six different selections that include the MP500. I've tried them all. They all have lines through them. There is a note, in grey, beneath the Color Profile box, that says to "Turn off color management in the printer driver". I have absolutely no idea how to do that, and I've googled it, to no avail
Under "Render Intent" I've tried both selections - Relative Colorimetric and Perceptual. Still, lines through both.
This is really discouraging. Both printers work perfectly fine - with iPhoto, so it's hard for me to justify buying a new printer. And how do I know I wouldn't have the same problem with a new printer?
Fingers crossed that this can be resolved. I have several photos I'm supposed to be printing for gifts. And if the problem is in Aperture or PSE, won't the lines still be there even if I use one of the online printing companies?

When printing from iphoto all photographs ar printed in a pop art style rather than as seen - how do I change this to printing the photo as seen

When printing from iphoto all photographs are printed in a pop art style rather than as seen - how do I change this to printing the photo as seen?

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Damaged preference files can cause a varitety of problems which you wouldn't think it could. Deleting and regenerating the pref file is one of the basic fixes to try.

When printing from Iphoto the photo is cropped at the top

When printing from Iphoto, the image is not the same size as in Iphoto. The top of the photo is always lost.
If I copy the image to preview and thence to Word the photo prints in full..... Why?

Because you are printing a different size than the image - you give no details so one can only provide generalities
If you have an image that is 4:3 in dimensions and print it as an 8x10 image something has to give - it is the top or side of the image
Crop to the dimensions of the print - and you will lose nothing

Color off when printing from iPhoto if photo was scanned in.

When I scan a photo to a file or into an application and try to print from iPhoto, the colors are off. Usually darker than they appear in the photo. If I do a direct print from the scanner to the printer the colors look normal (OK). Any idea if there is some type of adjustment for this?

What color profile do the pics have? Is the printer set to the same profile?
Regards
TD

7520 not printing from photo tray

Brand New 7520 is not printing from the photo tray. I am printing from photoshop CS5 and I do not see where I can select the photo tray. In this instance, I am selecting 4x6 paper, but then it tries to print from the main tray, which I have emptied so I do not continue to print on plain paper. I have browsed some of the previous posts, but I have not been able to find a solution. It there a way that I can tell it to always print photos or a certain size paper from the photo tray? The reason I bought this printer was to be able to print small photos. Any assistance would be greatly apprecaited! Ciao!

I understand now. I want to provide a document on how to print photos in version 10.6 which should be relatively close to your settings. If this doesn't help you, let me know and I will gladly hand-write individual steps for you, this is just a little easier at this time. I have learned from personal experience that the main tray will not even register the photos, as I had a customer one day kept getting an out-of-paper error message during ePrint and he did not know you had to lift up the see-through tray to put photos in there. That isn't to say it is not possible through a Mac program. ePrint is really basic so it likes everything to be perfect. Tell me if the above link helps you. If not, I have your version of Mac (I believe) and this printer. I will see if I can recreate this if you need me. PS- Thank you so much for providing this picture for me for troubleshooting purposes. Might I add, that is a beautifully artistic photo.

Are you trying to print from iPhoto on your Mac or iPad/iPhone? If you are trying to print form yor Mac, check, if the Print Products Store in the iPhoto Preferences > Advanced is set to U.K.
Also the bimmling address, Delivery address, the country for your AppleID and Credit Card must all be in the same country. Check this document:

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
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 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.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

How do you export photos and movies from iPhoto to your iPhone? I synced the device and noticed that some photos and some movies from iPhoto on my laptop were not transferred to my iPhone.

How do you export photos and movies from iPhoto to your iPhone? I synced the devices and noticed that some photos and movies on my laptop iPhoto were not transferred to my iPhone?

I am not sure, which answer you found - so just in case:
If you sync your iPhone with the iPhoto library, the photos will only stay on the iPhone until the next sync and they are not in the Camera Roll. If you transfer using the Photo Stream, they will only be vidsible in the stream, until they are replaced in iCloud by newer content.
So, if you want to transfer the photos permanently, save them to the Camera Roll.

Unable to print from iPhoto without preview.

Hi everyone, new to this, so please bear with me. Old Toad can you help me please, I love my Mac OS X, and am reasonably savvy, but suddenly iPhoto will not print from the File Menu without going in to Preview? In Preview, you have to click again on File and Print, and not print from the button on the bottom of the Preview Screen. I have had my Mac for one year, and learning all the time, but she has not always done this, please tell me what to do in laypersons language, many thanks for any help.
Jane S.

Jane:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Just select the thumbnail and type Command-P. That will open the print window and you can go from there. OR, double click on a thumbnail to bring up the Edit mode and then use the File->Print menu. Apple moved the Print option to the Edit mode. That has confused a lot of us at first.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Can't Print From iPhoto 8 to Color LaserJet

I recently purchased an iMac with iPhoto 8 installed. This is the cleanest, easiest-to-use version of iPhoto yet!
Except for a huge problem: I cannot print from iPhoto to my HP Color LaserJet 4650. I can print to that printer from all other applications, including photos in Photoshop and Preview. But when I try to print from iPhoto, I get a message on my printer saying "insufficient memory," which is not true. There is enough printer memory (160 mb) to handle almost any print job I can throw at it. Also, others can print photos from their older versions of iPhoto to the same printer without issues.
I have called HP, who say there are no known issues with their printers and iPhoto 8. I have also trashed the iPhoto preferences with no luck. Even my outside tech guy is stumped. For the time being, I can work around by exporting photos to the desktop and printing in Photoshop or Preview, but I would like to print directly from iPhoto. Any advice?

Scott:
Thanks for the direction. Tom Rice's link took me to a site where I downloaded some scripts and a driver. After selecting the driver for my HPCLJ4650 everything worked just fine. I don't know why Apple and/or HP are not aware of the problem, but when I read the discussion link you sent me, it sounds like there are a lot of users out there having the same problems with their HP printers and iPhoto '08.
Anyway, I appreciate the help!

Printing from iPhoto to Epson Stylus R1900-Lack of Layout and other options

I have just begun using my MacBook Pro for photo use, and also just acquired an Epson R1900. When I print from iPhoto to the R1900, I can only print 1 photo per page. The usual Epson screen which has an option to change layout, e.g., to multiple photos per page does not appear. If I try to print from Mail the usual Epson screen does appear. Why not in iPhoto like it always has in the past on my iMac when printing to my previous, Canon i950? This is a major concern to me since my wife likes to keep our photos as multiples per page in a scrapbook. I'm using iPhoto '09, vers. 8.1.2., and OS 10.5.8, and the latest update of the Epson driver for the R1900 which claims to be fine with OS 10.5.8.

Well, I found how to get to "Settings." There is a button in the photo area entitled "Customize," which leads to a screen with various options on the bottom, one of which is "Settings." If I click on that I get a small dialog box including the option to select "Multiple Photos per Page." So far it looks like I need to do some very tedious custom sizing to get, say, 4 photos on 1 8x10 page. There is a "Layout" button on the "Customize" screen; however, it only wants to give me horizontal or vertical page orientations; or ones which have the option of adding a title underneath. In the past, if I choose multiple photos per page (or "N up") I could then choose how many: 2, 3, 4, etc photos per page and the program sizes them accordingly. I still get that when I use my old iMac with iPhoto '05 to print to the Epson R1900. Works nice and easy.
Also, I'm confused by the fact that iPhoto '09 does not allow a "Page Setup" file command. This is making it difficult for me to get the photos oriented in a way that they will fit in groups. So far, iPhoto '09 is proving to be very awkward to work with compared with my past experience with iPhoto '05.
