Print margin printing ...

Hi,
I have a HP OfficeJet G85 printer. When printing a web page I can print completely the page with margins even less than 1/4". If I save the same document as a PDF file, I also can print it from Preview without loosing any information in the margins that still are less than 1/4".
Yesterday I received a PDF email attached file that I can view entirely on my computer with Preview, but when it prints the margin is larger (almost 1/2") and I loose text on the print page. I wanted to adjust my page setup in Preview to correct this but was unable to find how to do it.
Do you have an idea what is the problem ?
Regards.

Why not post this to the *Printing, faxing and scanning* Snow Leopard forum? Do you believe this is an installation problem?

  • How to set printer margins if using a lot of printers in virtual desktops which are deleted each time users logs off

    Hello,
    i am using Firefox version 31. I have a problem with page setup margins. I need to use left
    30mm; right 10mm; top 20mm; bottom 20mm. I am using VMware floating assignemnt linked clones
    virtual desktops. After users log off - machines are deleted and users next time logs on get's brand
    new VDI's. Users gets printers to VDI using login script from Active Directory.
    Option Explicit
    Dim strPrinterUNC, objNetwork
    strPrinterUNC = "\\some_server\printer_number_1"
    Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
    objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection strPrinterUNC
    WScript.Sleep (20000)
    objNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter strPrinterUNC
    Set objNetwork = Nothing
    Each user have different logon script, because they use different printers (different printer names e.g. \\some_server\printer_number_2 ; \\some_server\printer_number_3 and etc. Page setup margins in Internet Explorer are ok. But how to make Firefox page setup margins as i need? For other options i have
    used CCK2 Wizard 2.0.4 tool. It worked fine. Maybe i can put some information in C:\Program
    Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\autoconfig.js I have some usefull data in it allready. I
    have found info that: "Setting print margins is done in the printer settings". I have a lot of
    printers, so i can not set printer margins individualy for each of them. Now mozilla shows top,
    bottom, right, left each 12.7 mm. What should i do if i have a lot of printers in enterprise
    environment?

    Firefox has a profile folder that has preferences to save this. But the config that would need to be changed is:
    print. save_print_settings = True - (default): Save the print settings after each print job
    Locking that preference: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences]
    Or done manually:
    #In order to check the margins, we need to go to ''File'' > ''Page Setup''.
    #Once this is done, switch to the ''Margins & Header/Footer'' tab.
    #Check what's set there under ''Margins''.
    The following are the default values for ''Margins'':
    Check these values accordingly and change them if necessary.

  • Problem with Printer Margins

    I am working from a Dell Optiplex 755 with Windows XP, Illustrator CS2, Acrobat 8 Pro and an HP 4345 printer.
    The problem is summarized in the below paragraphed points:
    We print on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper, with artwork sized for 8.5 x 11 exactly. The artwork contains 4 quarter page images to be cut into flyers, which each have 1/4" margins all the way around them. There is a back side as well, created with the same specifications. We wish to print these flyers duplex from high quality PDF files that we created in Illustrator.
    When the print comes out, the right hand margin of the sheet is larger than the top, bottom, and left margins.
    The top, bottom, left margins= 0.166"; this doesn't effect the top, bottom, and left sides of the artwork, as the .25" margin we setup on the artwork is greater than the .166" margin of the print area.
    However, the right hand margin= 0.306"; this means that the right side of the artwork gets cut off by .056" (.306-.25")
    In order to fit all of the artwork on the page, we can either shift the Page Tiling Print Area over slightly, or we can select the print option "Shrink to Fit". However this is a problem because we are printing the two sides as a duplex (printed both sides), and the tiled artwork on the front won't line up what is printed on the back because of the larger right margin. Therefore if the sides don't line up when we go to cut, the information is going to be cut off on the opposite side to the one we are cutting.
    The printer setting for 8.5x11" paper "Letter" is what we believe to be creating the offset margin. (We checked the specifications for a Letter print, and the standard margins were identical to the ones we see exhibited in the print outs, 0.166" vs. 0.306")
    We understand that there might be a way to set up your own custom print setting through Adobe Acrobat/ Photoshop/ Illustrator for a specfic type of print job, allowing you to control the print margins, but we are not familiar with the process.
    Can you think of any other possible causes and/or solutions for the problems that are described?

    As is detailed above, I am working with Illustrator CS2. The graphic is setup on an 8.5x11" artboard with guides set to have a 1/4" margin on all sides.
    To create the PDF file, I just do a Save As>Adobe PDF through Illustrator. So to answer your question, no, I do not have Adobe PDF selected as the printer. I have the HP 4345 printer selected and set to 'Letter' for printing on 8.5x11" page.

  • How do I adjust print margins in Safari

    Hello
    I am trying to print out multiple forms via Safari for printing onto removable sticky  address labels.  I cant seem to adjust the print setting to align the text with the label.  I need to set margins to do this.  I have tried adjusting the printable area via the manage custom sizes but this doesn't seem to work.  All my efforts still result in the printer printing will very narrow margin and my text doesn't align with the labels.
    I am worried the I might create a world shortage of ink in my attempts to work out what's wrong.  Please help.
    I am printing shipping labels in eBay using the Seller manager pro package .
    I am using an OKI C531 LED Printer
    Many thanks

    I am using Snow Leopard and I don't really see a +shrink to fit+ option.
    Using Safari (This also happens with Firefox and Opera), when I do the ⌘P, I get the following dialog:
    [Print Dialog 1|https://files.me.com/w1jp/udykuc]
    The only option I see to scale is either putting some number in the +Scale box+ or on the +Paper Handling+ dialog:
    [Print Dialog 2|https://files.me.com/w1jp/uwm676]
    Selecting +Scale to fit paper size+ didn't fix the problem either.
    It's like the margins aren't working for this printer when printing web pages. All the other applications (non-browser) print correctly.

  • How do I set the default print margins for ALL printers in mozilla.cfg

    How do I set the default print margins for ALL printers in mozilla.cfg, even ones that are not yet installed / connected to the computer?
    I'm trying to install firefox with MDT and apply certain print options, but the printers themselves are connected at a later stage so the print.printer_myprinterhere cannot be used.

    Best answer I could find: [https://mike.kaply.com/2012/03/16/customizing-firefox-autoconfig-files/#comment-132668]
    If you can figure out how to add the printer name, this can be used to lock the margins.

  • How can I set printing margins of report?

    Hello,
    I am trying to print programmatically a portrait of a JPEG image that has been created by a Front Panel.
    I print it by creating a Standard Report.
    While the JPEG image is fine, the printed image is compressed at the long edges. So, the printed image is a little bit distorted.
    I change the Printing:Margins Property of the vi at the First Call of the vi, but the result is the same.
    On the other hand, if I open the JPEG image with a program like Picasa and print it, the printing image is not compressed/distorted.
    I attach an image of the code that is used to print the JPEG and an image that shows the Printing:Margins Property.
    How can I print it correctly via LabVIEW?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello,
    I tried the solutions that you proposed and I have the following results:
    1. The solution to print the Front Panel through the invoke node of the vi's reference is not ideal, because the desirable printer cannot be chosen.
    2. I cannot use the Word Report because I have not the Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office.
    3. I used the HTML Report and I change the print settigns by modifying the registry keys in the following folder:
    "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PageSetup"
    I can change the margin_bottom, margin_left, margin_right, margin_top, Shrink_To_Fit and assign the values 0,0,0,0,no to them.
    The result in the printing image is obvious. It is no longer compressed and it is positioned almost according to the margins. Although all margins are set to 0, it has to be positioned 2cm more at left and about 2cm higher to be proper.
    But the footer and header registry keys even if they are deleted (I cannot assign empty string from command line), they are appeared in the printed page.
    I attach the new vi files that modify the registry keys of the above folder before printing and restore them after printing.
    Also, the Front Panel size of the Report.vi has been changed and set equal to the A4 paper size 21x29cm and a little bit bigger in order not to print the decoration border.
    So, the problem of proper printing of HTML report remains having only to remove the footer & header and understand why the printing image is not positioned at full left and full top even if the registry keys margin_left and margin_top are 0 and 0.
    On the other hand, if the vi's Front Panel JPEG image is printed from a Photo-program, it is printed correctly given that the margins are set to 0 and the "Scale" option has been disabled.
    Thank you very much for your help.
    I am looking forward to hearing from you if it is possible.

  • Printing Margins - Reset Safari Library?

    I am having a problem printing documents from safari, from only 1 of my accounts on my macbook. The guest account has no problems printing.
    The problem is the same regardless what printer I print to. When told to print safari will format the document to fill the entire page. Creating a custom size paper with custom margins doesn't correct the problem either. When printing pages, safari formats the page to print larger than the margins the printer can physically print to (unless set up to print borderless). Also, printing to pdf produces a document that is formatted to outermost margins of the document.
    Is it possible to reset safari to a like new state? I've tried going Safari -> Reset Safari, with no improvement. I don't want to create a new user account, there must be a way to reset it.
    Thanks in advance!

    Ok, I had the same problem where the left margin was clipped off and literally spent hours trying to fix it.
    I found a solution that worked for me so I registered for this Forum expressly to post the fix.
    It's simple, but not intuitive.
    From *within Safari* choose "File-->Print." Then select the "Paper Size" drop-down option and choose "Manage Custom Sizes."
    Use the "+" sign to create a new template.
    Double-click on the name of the template "Untitled" and type in a name of your choosing, such as "US Letter for Safari" and hit "return" to save the name.
    For "Paper Size" type in "8.5 in" for width and "11 in" for height.
    For "Non-Printable Area" select "User Defined."
    Then input your Top, Bottom, Left, and Right margin settings.
    I input the following:
    -Top and Right: .25"
    -Bottom: .5"
    -Left: .35"
    Then hit "OK" and quit Safari.
    Then go to "System Preferences -->Print and Fax" and then select your printer from the menu on the left side.
    Once you do that, you should see a drop-down tab in the lower-middle section of the screen that says, "Default Paper Size."
    Select the paper size that you just created in Safari and quit System Preferences.
    Then open Safari and print a test page.
    What's really odd is that you DO NOT need to select the Paper Size on the "Print" screen menu. For me, it still defaults to "Letter," but it actually prints the margin sizes that I set for my Custom paper size.
    I hope this saves at least one person all the frustration that I went through looking for a fix!

  • How do I change the print margins in firefox 4.0 in ubuntu?

    When I upgraded to Natty (Ubuntu 11.4), I was automatically upgraded from firefox 3.6.x to 4.0.x
    I want to change the print margins, however when I go to File > Page Setup, it only gives me options for changing the paper size and orientation. There is no longer any sort of tab or option for margins, header & footer, etc.
    Am I missing something or is firefox?

    Try this:
    EDIT:
    * Goto about:config
    * Look for print.printer_<PRINTERNAME>.print_margin
    * change those to what you want :D
    * Restart the browser.
    ENDEDIT:
    Should help you out.

  • Mail 2.1 - Printer margins

    We recently switched from Eudora to Apples Mail app (version 2.1). The first problem we have yet to solve is that of the overly large print margins at the top and bottom of each page when printed. The margins are close to 1-1/4 inches (3.2 cm).
    There appears to be no user defined settings that we can find via Page set up.
    We are using standard US letter paper size. All other applications print fine (i.e approx 1/2 inch margins). This happens regardless of what printer we choose, including PDF)
    Is there anyway to control the size of the margins for the the standard paper sizes which print perfectly in ALL other applications, other than Mail?
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Any ideas? Anyone?

  • Print margin

    I noticed that everytime I print in Mail, the gap on the top margin is almost 2 1/2 inches. Is it just me or is this a common problem for everyone. I tried setting the print margins manually, but still to no avail. Is this problem fixable or do I just have to live with it? It's not that bad, but emails look really weird with the big gap for the top margin.
    Thanks

    I'm having the same issue. Does anyone know how to control the print margins in Mail.app? Selecting custom margins in the print dialogue box does not work at all.

  • Printing margins

    Hello!
    I'm having a hard time trying to configure the printing margins with java.awt.print. I know that there are physical limits and a minimum margin that needs to be respected, but I can't seem to get anything different from 1 inch!
    To detect the mimimum margins, I use:
    PageFormat format=new PageFormat();
    Paper paper=new Paper();
    format.setPaper(paper);
    paper.setImageableArea(0D, 0D, Double.MAX_VALUE, Double.MAX_VALUE);
    PageFormat mformat=job.validatePage(format);... mformat now contains the minimum margins and printable areas. With that I get the value 12 for the X and Y margins.
    When I configure the print margins with those values, using:
    PageFormat jformat=job.defaultPage();
    Paper jpaper=jformat.getPaper();
    jpaper.setImageableArea(mformat.getImageableX(), mformat.getImageableY(), width, height);... the PageFormat that is passed in my java.awt.print.Printable implementation always has 72 for the X and Y margins!
    Does anyone have a hint on what I might be doing wrong? Thank you very much for your attention, cheers,
    AP

    Did you realize that PageFormat#getPage returns a copy and that you need to call PageFormate#setPage to actually change the page?
    This,
    import java.awt.Graphics;
    import java.awt.print.*;
    public class PrinterTest {
        public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
            PageFormat format = new PageFormat();
            Paper paper = new Paper();
            paper.setImageableArea(0.0,0.0,Double.MAX_VALUE,Double.MAX_VALUE);
            format.setPaper(paper);
            PrinterJob jb = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
            format = jb.validatePage(format);
            jb.setPrintable(new Printable() {
                public int print(Graphics graphics, PageFormat pageFormat,
                        int pageIndex) throws PrinterException {
                    if(pageIndex > 1)
                        return Printable.NO_SUCH_PAGE;
                    System.out.println(pageFormat.getImageableX() + " " +
                                       pageFormat.getImageableY());
                    return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
            },format);
            jb.print();
    }prints out

  • Can you set the print margins in Preview?

    Simple question: Is there a way to set the print margins when printing an image from Preview?

    I can set margins in other programs (like Photoshop, Word, Excel, Firefox, Chrome...), but there does not seem to be a setting for margins when printing from Preview. I don't want to resize the image, just get it to print in a certain position on the paper (template form).
    In the case of Photoshop, you are placing an image on a canvas and can position the image to suit. Word and Excel have a Page Setup menu that lets you set the margin positions - which know since you have got the output you wanted. There is no Page Setup menu for most, if not all, Apple applications like Preview. Instead parts of the Page Setup menu have been added to the print dialog but margins is not one of them.

    Understood. Unfortunately you don't get that option in Preview. The image will be centred - both horizontal and vertical - based on the paper size and the printer you have selected in the print dialog. You could create a custom paper size with the margins you want to position the image and then use that custom paper in Preview. But your workaround of using Word gives you more control over the positioning of the image.

  • Default printing margins

    I'd like to change the default printing margins and image position. Currently the default is center. I'd like to change the default to 0.5" on the left and top.

    I have spent a lot of (frustrating) time trying to sort this out and to research it.... Finally gave up and then... Eureka, I figured out a good solution...
    Print the file (using what Elements gives you) as a PDF file... Once you have done this you can open it up in Word (or other software I am sure) and then play with margins to your heart's content....  I also found some other neat things in Word to help with frames, borders, etc.
    Good luck

  • Changing Print Margins of PDF

    I'm trying to change the left print margin of my pdf. The print preview shows a document exactly like I'd like it to print. When it prints, an additional 5/8 inch margin is added to the left. Also, the document has shrunk. I'm wondering if the preferences are adding space for left binding in addition to shrinking the page. I do not see an option to "turn off binding". THe documet prints fine in MS Word. My choices are only to have a left or right binding. I'm using a MAC. Insights, please.
