Photos printing, unable to fill picture

I am trying to print an image in Photos for OSX. When i hit print I am shown the image preview, and selection of printer, paper size and settings. The thumbnail for 4x6 looks fine, but when I have selected it and hit print, I reach a new screen, similar to the print screen in Preview. In this screen the preview image is rotated 90 degrees off the paper. Typical landscape/portrait orientation error. However I cannot find any option to change this, so I am forced to export the image to Preview and print it from there, where I get the option to change orientation. This is annoying to say the very least. Any suggestions?
I am on a mid 2012 Retina MacBook Pro 15", running Yosemite 10.10.3, Photos 1.0, printing to a Canon MG7150 via AirPrint.

Have you updated to the latest Canon print drivers: Canon Printer Drivers v3.2 for OS X. If you install these drivers be sure to repair disk permissions with Disk Utility afterward.
Also did you crop your photo to 4 x 6 before starting the print process?

Improving photo print quality

I had to delete CS3 and re-install it and now photos printed on my Epson picture mate do not look good. I had this problem before, but don't remember the exact solution. I could not find specific instructions for getting the best photo print quality by searching in the forums. I would think this would be a big topic. We all want to print the best quality pictures and once the instructions are well documented, I would think they would be easy to find. Could someone help me out? I am using Leopard.
Thanks,
Tom

If it's just a color setting, you shouldn't have to download anything.
I'm not sure if it's the same method in CS4 as in CS2, which I'm using, but you could just open Photoshop, select Edit from the top of the screen, and click on Color Settings…
In there, you can choose one of the presets from the "Settings" drop-down menu: Monitor Color, North America General Purpose 2, North America Prepress 2, etc. Or you can manually select from various CMYK, RGB, Gray, and Spot working spaces below that. Just use whichever works best for you.
Regarding not finding what you're looking for easily, I have a feeling it has something to do with lack of specifics. Your original post didn't really mention in what way your photos looked bad. If it's a color thing, are your photos too dark? Too light? Too blue/yellow? Or is it, instead, a resolution issue (too pixellated and/or blurry)? "My photos look bad" doesn't really provide enough info.

Black & White photos printing as purple

My wife was copying some historical black & white family photos. Six or so printed fine, then one photo changed from black & white to a purpleish tone at the 90% complete phase, only the bottom edge had changed colors. We loaded another black cartridge believing this was the cause, but to no avail. Now all Black & White photos are printing in purple.
Standard printing is fine.
Copying is fine.
Scanning is fine.
But photo printing of black & white pictures results in the copies being 100% purple toned.
Why?
HP 6510 printer, only two onths old.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The printer uses color ink to print black when printing on photo paper because the pigmented black ink is not compatible with photo paper. It appears you have run out of yellow ink. I would suggest the troubleshooting steps in the document here to resolve the issue. Be sure to check the vents on the yellow supply as shown in solution two.

When I print a picture from I photo on my HP 310 printer I select the fill picture which appears as a portrate then prints as landscape so I get the centre of the the original picture only. I have tried to fix but no luck what can I do?

When I try to print from I photo ie a A6 lanscape picture a page apears showing me how I want the picture on the selected paper and size ie "fill" I then press print and then a window apears showing how it will apear on the paper and it continously shows the paper as portrait and the picture I am trying to print appears in a lanscape form so that only the center of the picture is printed with two white areas apearing top and pottom. Why does the picture not print in the correct direction as the print page shows I selected landscape format. I hope you understand.

Hi,
Tried all the cleaning programmes and it still will not print...I am lost.

Epson 810 printer unable to view photos on iMac

I recently purchased an Epson Artisan 810 and connected it wirelessly. The printer connects to the iMac OS X 10.5.8 and is able to print, but it is unable to transfer pictures from my memory card to my mac. My memory card is a Memory Stick Pro Duo, 2 GB, the camera is a Sony Cyber-shot. The info from Epson is that a Memory Card icon should show on my desktop,it does not. And according to Epson, since I can see the pics on the Epson screen, I should be able to see them on my Mac. After spending over 45 minutes with an 2 Epson techs, they gave up and said the problem is with my iMac and that I had to call Apple because it is their problem. I did call Apple tech support, but their opionion is that it is an Epson problem, not an apple problem. I don't know whose problem it is except mine, but my cheap old HP never had a problem allowing me to see my pics on my iMac. I have tried installing and uninstalling both wireless and usb drivers, but neither allows a working Memory Icon on the desktop nor any way to view the photos. Sorry for the length of this request. Any help would be appreciated.

There was another thread on this very same problem some time back; from what I remember, it was not resolved. For one thing, it could very well have something to do with the fact that you have it connected wirelessly; have you tried connecting the printer with a USB cable to see if it works then?
If you are not wanting to print the pics while the card is inserted in the printer, may I suggest what would be a much easier and simpler solution: download the pictures to your Mac and then control the pictures (and the printer) from there. You could use a USB card reader (very inexpensive), insert it and download them directly - why go through another device.

My system has had All up-dates automatically installed up till this point ...So I not being a Techie ,do not know what or where to look for help to resolve the issue next ? Anyone able to tell me what to look for to do or how to resolve the issue or do I need to just Un-install the printer and Re-set it up again ?? I have tried to look at all places on HP ;but it does not even show my older HP Officejet -J4550 - All-in One Printer ? Just keeps referring to HP Officejet -4550 ? Loooking for any answers ! Thank Yopu ,JS

Hi jspin3,
I'd like to help. For now, I would hold off on the uninstall and reinstall. Can you answer some questions?
Is the printer connected by USB, Ethernet or wireless?
Do you get any error messages?
Does a blank page come out or do no pages come out when you try to print from the computer?
If you put a document face down on the scanner glass, are you able to make a photocopy?
Can you estimate the ink levels, in percent full for each cartridge, by looking at the printer ink gauge? Click Here
If you print a Self Test Report, do all of the colors print?
Also, remember a click on the Kudos star to the left is a quick "Thanks" for a helpful post.

Unable to print from a Mac using Maverick 10.9.2 on an Epson Photo printer with Photoshop CS4. Can you help?

I am trying to print in Photoshop CS4 on an Epson Photo printer (3880) from my Mac. I just upgraded to Maverick 10.9.2 when the problem started. Can you help.

I have the answer. It took quite a while but I know why the 3880 won't print from Photoshop 4 with Maverick. It is due to the Epson .icc page description files. The way to solve the problem is to make your own .icc. OK, so you don't know how to do it. This is what I did so now I get the quality prints I expect from an expensive printer.
You need to go to www.datacolor.com/spyderprint and purchase the Spyderprint hardware and software. It comes as a package for $300 to $350 depending on if you get a sale. The software will print on the 3880 test sheets of color blocks. With the hardware reader you then read the colors on the test sheets printed. What this does is match the monitor image with the printer, ink and paper you used. It makes an .icc page description file for you to select instead of the Epson .icc file. When you print again select the new .icc file and also choose "Printer Manages Colors" instead of "Photoshop Manages Colors" I know this is usual but it works. When you are done you will be smiling too with your beautiful results.
One other thing. If you want, it is optional, also purchase the Spider 4 Pro for $150. It calibrates your monitor and helps make excellent prints.
I understand it is more money and you already probably have a good computer, expensive camera to go with the 3880 so spend the extra money so it all works together.
I hope this helps.

How to print a group of pictures?

I have 4 photos I need to print. I've set the image canvas at 288 pixels per inch and arranged the picture within a page that is 1746 x1048 pixels in horizontal view. However whenever I try to print they only fill about 1/4th of the page. How do I increase the size of the images/resolution so they fill the page?

If you're creating a document for print in Fireworks, I'd try setting the canvas to the dimensions of your page output (e.g., 8.5" x 11"). Then I'd probably import each photo (using File > Import) and define it as a Symbol. Once it's defined as a Symbol, an image can be resized freely on the page, with no loss of its native resolution.
Later, if you need to adjust the page resolution, you can use Modify > Canvas > Image Size.

HP C309g-m 3 in 1 Photo Printer - software re-load issue

I am running Windows 8; I've used this same HP C309g-m 3 in 1 photo printer on a previous Window 7 system. I've been able to use this printer for a year and up until this week, I've had no issue. I can print documents, but at this time, I'm unable to open the HP Solution Center to scan documents or pictures. I do not remember if I had installed anything new prior to having problems.
I rebooted both my laptop and the printer, the error message reappeared (unfortunately, I didn't capture a screen shot of the error message). I decided to uninstall/reinstall the software. The uninstall appeared to go without a hitch (I may not, however, have uninstalled the primary software first), so I put the software CD in to reinstall the drivers/software. There is no option to install the software, only an "exit" option (screen shot attached).
I went to HP Support and downloaded the HP Print and Scan Doctor. I also used the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows. Both seemed to work w/o a hitch. The same Install window for the HP C309g printer came up to download the software and drivers. The download went through the entire process. When I clicked 'Finish', an error msg came up (screen shot attached).
On a previous help topic, it was suggested to download CCleaner - I decided to do this, but I do NOT want to change my browser in exchange for using the tool, so I cancelled the download.
Here is screen shot of my Program list which shows there are 'empty' remnants of the software previously downloaded. As you can see, the only software that resulted from today's reinstall is the HP Photo Creations & the Support Solutions Framework.
Thank you for any assistance you can offer.

I have updated my steps to add in removing the USB cable, thanks for pointing that out.
Also, I am VERY happy to hear that the install completed and the scanning is working. I have not received a card for my work before, it was very nice to see that. Thank you.

Photo printing slow one line at a time

My first time printing phots on my Officejet 4620 and it is taking 20 minutes per picture one line at a time. Very frustrated. Call the help line and was told tht how this printer works.....

Many things can affect printing photos. Wireless connectivity (if applicable), paper size, print quality, software used to print the photo, printer design optimization (photo printer vs. office printer), security software used on your computer, etc.....
That being said, this photo printing document may offer some information of benefit:

is it possible to print more than one picture at a time on a single page and if so, how?

Hi Rowegarth.
HP Photo Creations offers several ways to print multiple photos on a page. Here's a link to some preset grids. If you don't have HP Photo Creations already, you'll be prompted to download the software. (It's a free download.)
You could also start with a "Design Your Own" collage print with a white theme.
This video shows some ways to print multiple photos in HP Photo Creations to make them easier to cut out:

The beginning shows an older version of the software, but the second half (at 1:17) explains the grid settings.

Good photo printer???

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good photo printer? I was using a Kodak Easyshare Printer dock plus, but since upgrading to iPhoto6, it's seems that it's no longer supported. I'm only using it for personal use, not a professional photographer, but I want pictures of my son to look good and not fade. Some from a compact HP photo printer have faded after only 2 years. I'm not too concerned about cost at this point, just need some advice I can run with. Any suggestions?? Thanks.
iMac (intel) Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I too have the Epson R200 and it works great for the average user who wants photo quality photos. I use mine for presentations with photo glossy paper (I highly suggest because everyone goes "Oooo Ahhhh"). I believe they don't sell the R200 anymore but the Epson R220 is the updated version. I love my Epson so much that I bought my parents one for Christmas. They needed a all in one so I bought them the Epson Stylus Photo RX700. They really love it because they scan in old wedding pictures or pictures when my brothers and I were kids. Then they print them out and show them off to friends. It is a little pricey, but it is an all around good choice. Now my brother came to me recently and asked which printer company I liked. As you probably have guessed, I told him Epson. So since he is getting his second major in Photography he went out and bought the Epson Stylus Pro 4800 Professional Edition. He wasn't on iChat so I don't know anything about it, but it looks really nice. It is extremely expensive though, over two grand. That is some comparison that I though you might be interested in. I have used Epson since I bought the original iMac (I believe) and have always enjoyed them. They have yet to fail me, yet to fail, and best of all, they make wonderful pictures even around 4 years later.
I hope that helps,
Jon
PS I think anything really from Cannon or Epson will suit your needs. Those are the only two companies that I trust for good quality.
