Photoshop can't print legal-size image to legal-size paper

I go through a lot of sketch stages to get to a final picture, and I sometimes print on legal paper. My Brother printer does fine at that with Apple Pages, MSWord, Acrobat, and Illustrator, but with Photoshop there's a problem. I set up a legal-size image in PS, go through all the settings I can find for printing to a non-letter-format sheet, hit print, and what I get is a letter-size patch of image on a legal-size sheet. Clearly, either I am missing something or PS is missing something. Any ideas or suggestions?

The problem persists. This has gone on for months, but now I've updated to OSX 10.9.1 and the latest Brother printer drivers. I still get legal sheets bearing letter-sized information. So far, the only answer anyone has had is to check every possible place where the paper size is defined. Right. How many of those are there? 2? 3? 4? See attached screen grab: I don't know what it's doing there, but the black patch at the bottom of the image corresponds to the cutoff area on the print. It shows up when I check the box "Print selected area". Otherwise, all the sizes and labels i can find are legal-paper sizes and labels. So how do I get rid of the black box? Note that, below, the "Print selected area" box is unchecked

  • Can I print the same image at different sizes on the same page?

    Hi everyone.
    I am trying to print a 5x7" image and 4 wallet sizes of the same photograph on 1 piece of paper. Can apperature do this? I'm just trying to utilize a whole sheet of paper.
    I've been looking at contact sheets to try this but it doesn't seem like it's going to work. I was hoping for a really simple way to do this but I cannot find it.

    I've not found a way to do that. The printing portion of the software is, at this time, somewhat rudimentary.

  • Can't print out Adobe image in the sizes sent to me.

    I had some Adobe Illustrator designs for my new apparel business sent in three different sizes to accomodate different size shirts. I am unable to get them to print out in those sizes. I have tried adjusting the printer settings to no avail. I am not a techie so I may have missed something. Any ideas?

    Every driver is a bit diff as to where it might be, but see if your Print Dialog has something like this...

  • Photoshop can not print the maximum amount of data that can be spooled to a PostScript printer is 2G

    Hi all,
    This is the first time I've worked with the .psb (large format) size and I have gone to print a PDF of the file and I get the message:
    "photoshop can not print this document because the document is too large. The maximum amount of data that can been spooled to a PostScript printer is 2GB".
    The file itself is a 2700x1570mm 300dpi flatten .psb image that is 500mb in size.
    Not sure how I can get around this, where abouts do I see the image size information that is being spooled?
    Any help would be great

    There's no easy way to see the size of the image that's being spooled, but 2G limit is uncompressed, 4 bytes per pixel (either RGBX where X is a padding byte, or CMYK, depending on the image / printer), times about 1.6 because the image data is sent in ASCII85 format rather than binary.
    With your image at over 100 inches at 300 dpi, you're also perilously close to the 32k limit on the pixels in any one dimension (31,900 by my calculations) that PostScript can handle.
    The limits are 32767 pixels in either dimension, and 2GB of data total. The data that's sent at 4 bytes per pixel, and converted to ASCII85 so that it'll make it across any connection. ASCII85 gives about a 1.6 expansion factor, if I remember correctly.
    Do you really need a 10 foot image printed at 300 dpi? If not, changing down to 200 dpi will probably let this image print.

  • Error Photoshop can only decode FAX encoded images

    I've been using an OCE flatbed scanner to digitise large documents. The software scans and saves the files as .tiffs with an LZW compression.
    Using Photoshop CS3, I was able to open the files and correct the pixel ration. But, after trying to open the files with Photoshop CS5, I get an error message reading 'Photoshop can only decode FAX encoded images up to 32767 pixels wide or tall'. Seeing that CS3 opened them with no problem, is there any way to get CS5 to open them? They aren't CCITT compressed, so I'm not exactly sure why the FAX encoded error comes up...

    They vary in size from around 150 KB to 2 MBs.
    One file, for example, is 196 KB with dimensions 37795 x 22746 pixels.

  • Elements 11 - when I try to print a photo, I get this message "photoshop can not print this document"

    What do I need to do when I get this message? "Photoshop can not print this document"

    Those pixel dimemsions have aspect ratios that are not the same as a 5 x7 print:
    1360 x 1360 = 1.0
    790 x 640 = 1.23
    2048 x 1366 = 1.5
    An 7 x 5 image = 1.4.
    So you'll need to crop the images to 5 x 7 before printing.  The first two images are a little light in the pixels to produce a high resolution 5 x 7 print. 
    Happy Holidays

  • I'm getting a lot of 'Photoshop can not print this document' errors

    Has anyone experienced / solved this problem? the error just reads 'Photoshop can not print this document.' with no further information. Flattening the document resolves the problem, but I would like to think that there is a better solution.
    Thanks

  • How can I print a pdf in the actual size with a page border?

    How can I print a pdf in the actual size with a page border? (2 pages per sheet preferred)
    I usually print pdfs of books at a copy shop and they turn out fine.
    The problem comes when I try to print the same books at home.
    I use Adobe Acrobat X with the same settings: "multiple pages per sheet" (2x1) and page border. But the pages are slightly shrunken when printed. I think this is because my printer can't print as closely to the margins. Still, two pages should be able to fit on one sheet in actual size. Are there any layout settings that I can play with to find a better fit, besides portrait and landscape?
    If I select page scaling "none," I'm able to print the pdf in actual size, one page per sheet. But there's no option to add a page border.

    I have a test with some questions (multiple choice, FIB, matching, etc). I have just one button to submit all the answers, and after submiting the student can see his score and review the test to know where he failed. He can't answer again. However, he can change the answer multiple times before submiting.
    "if i turn on success/failure captions the student will see them while answering" - before submitting
    "if i turn them off he wont know what's the right answer" - after submitting
    My results page is the default. I didn't use any variable. When i go to the results page after reviewing the test all the entry boxes are "wrong".

  • Elements 12, Epson Artisan 1430, "Photoshop can not print this document"

    I recently upgraded to Elements 12 and also got a new printer, Epson Artisan 1430. I got some great prints and then one day, it stopped working. Elements error. No error number just a message, "Photoshop can not print this document" I tried restarting the program, the printer, and the computer. No luck. Tried different graphic files; no luck. The printer works with all other programs beautifully. I cannot find help anywhere on Adobe forum. Running Windows 7

    John, I deleted the printer and deleted those folders and reinstalled the printer using the printer menu. When I tried the apple software update it said my software was up to date and didn't offer an option to get updated print drivers. I tried printing again and the same thing happened.
    Syd,
    I am trying to print from the Macbook to the Artisan entirely over a wireless network. The Macbook has not been plugged directly into the printer or to the router at any point in this. I did try what you suggested, resetting the printing system, and as earlier it did not offer any software updates when I looked for one. I tried printing again and the same result.
    I dug around some more directories and found some more files with the epson name in there and deleted those and then attempted to reinstall using the printer setup page, and then again tried a software update and again it didn't find any new drivers, and of course the same printing error occurred again.
    It sure appears that the MacOS is holding onto drivers somewhere that I cannot discover because when I reinstall the printer it takes it all of 3-4 seconds to install, and when I try to do the software update it is not finding any new drivers anywhere.
    Syd, I agree that there seems to be something specifically corrupted about the printer driver itself, however, but is there another way to remove drivers?
    Should I try uninstalling everything and attempting a USB installation to see if prints that way?

  • Print dialog is not showing the correct Print Preview document, image, or artboard sizes; printer is printing incorrectly

    This is what the Print Dialog looks like. The print preview is too small. The final printed images are coming out all wrong.
    This is happening for ALL DRIVERS (5 different printers) and 2 different USERS in our company.
    It doesn't matter if you change the Media Size or any of the other settings here in the "Print" dialog, the "Page Setup..." dialog, the printer's own "Setup..." settings, etc... it's like Illustrator is using the wrong Artboard size. And why is there so much dark gray area around the page in the Print Preview? It looks really messed up.
    We need this fixed immediately. This is a crazy bad bug... we can't print!
    Illustrator: 8.1.1
    Computer: MacBook Pro Retina Mid 2012 OS X version 10.10.1

    It's a bug in Illustrator.  See this post:

  • Photoshop can't print to Canon Pro9000 Mark II - ICC profile issue

    I'm using Photoshop CS with OS 10.6.2. I have the latest Canon driver, 10.30.3.0, and the latest ICC profile set for Canon from the Apple driver site. As I begin the print dialogue everything seems fine. Photoshop is controlling color management, and I select the Canon paper/quality ICC profile. After I click print, it sends the print job and I get the following error: Could not print "test.jpg" because the ICC profile is no longer installed.
    I can load the same image into Photoshop Elements 6 and everything works fine, except I have the familiar Canon magenta cast syndrome I still need to work through.
    Any ideas on the "no longer installed" error?
    Thanks!

    The Canon ICC profiles for the respective paper stocks are stored in /Libary/Printers/Canon/BJPrinter/Resources/ICCProfiles. You should have one labelled "Pro9000IIseries.canonicc". I wonder if this profile may have been damaged with the recent 10.30.3 update, assuming that you had the previous driver installed.
    FYI - I found that running the update via Software Update did not correctly update the installed Canon drivers. Even deleting the queue and re-adding still showed the previous 10.26 driver. I found that I had to download the v2.3 Canon update and run it manually. Only then did the installed queues show the v10.30 update. Maybe you need to try the same?
    One way you could check if the profile is okay outside of PS is to print the image from Preview and via the Canon menus, set Color Matching to ColorSync and then select the profile you selected in PS. If you get a similar error then you know that it is a driver issue rather than being related to the application.
    Note that regarding PSE6, Adobe previously acknowledged that there was an issue with double color management, ie both PSE6 and the printer was controlling the color output. Adobe's suggestion at the time was to disable color management in PSE6 and let the printer manage the color.

  • Can I print a mirror image?

    I need to print a mirror image of a pdf document that was produced using a large scanner in our engineering department. We scan old sepias but the side we can scan is a negative image. Old copiers could "see through" the sepia's back side to get the positive image. New scanners, or least our scanner, can't do that so we get negative image pdf files. Printing a mirror image of this file will give me a positive image.

    Have you tried checking the "Flip Horizontally" box on your print settings? Go to Print > Printer and it should be under "Layout". This may vary by printer but it's worth a try. Good luck.

  • Hwo can I print in reverse image?

    I have a HP Photosmart 7510 series printer and want to reverse print an image. I need this for printing the image on to transfer paper that will then be used to iron on to material. How can I do this? I dont' see a reverse image option.

    Hi,
    As mentioned above, we can FLIP before sending image to printer. I couldn't find this option on my printers (one of them is an HP 7510) therefore I use this first (only 5 secs)

  • How can I print from my ipad to the plain paper tray not the photo tray?

    I have a new 
    HP Photosmart Plus All-in-One Printer - B209a
    and an ipad on my showroom floor.
    I let my customers use the ipad to browse through photos of items that are not on display, then print some of the photos. Right now the print job always goes to the photo tray - but I want it to print on plain letter size paper.  If there is no photo paper in the tray, the print job fails with an out of paper error.
    Is there a way to get this printer to print photos from the ipad photos app onto the standard paper tray?
    Thanks in advance for any insight you can give me.
    Richard

    Photos will always print from the photo tray, if the printer has one. This cannot be configured by the user currently.
