"print won't fit paper"

I attempted to print a photo from iPhoto and was met with this message in red: "The selected print size will not fit the current paper size". No matter what size paper I select,4X6, 8X10 or letter it doesn't change. Then if I proceed anyway the next thing that comes up is the wiggly rod with the "processing" banner under, overlaid with a block saying no subject has been selected.In Page Setup, reducing to 75% doesn't change anything. Odd, since I've printed from iPhoto before and never seen this problem.Is there a logical solution?

Printer won't grab paper

I have a HP deskjet 2050 all in one. I changed the ink and now the printer won't grab the paper. It will go down about 3 inches and stop. The printer acts like its really printing but nothing on paper . Is there some one here can help me.?? Thanks

The printer may have a hardware issue that has developed in the paper feed mechanism.
Please see the document located here for steps to help troubleshoot a no feed issue.
Hope this helps.

Printer won't grab paper correctly (after being shipped)

I moved recently, and shipped my HP DF340 Deskjet All-in-One parcel post to my new address. When I try to use it, it makes a loud noise, and the paper curls up on the right-hand side of the tray. In other words, whatever is preventing it from loading (grabbing) the paper correctly seems to be coming from the right-hand side.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi,
What is the exact paper type?
The printer specifications does not list Glossy Paper as a supported media, any supported media is listed under Paper-handling specifications > Supported photo paper:

What is the exact media type and weight, that may also help identifyig the issue, the exact paper type should be listed on its packaging...

New c4680 photo smart all in one printer. won't pick up paper to pull into printer.

HP C4680 Photo Smart All in One Printer.
Just out of box. At point in set up to print "allignment" page, but printer won't pull paper in. Goes thru the motions, but
won't pick it up. Something not working right in paper feed mechanism. Any suggestions/solutions?

Hi there @dhengr!
Thanks for contacting the HP Forums!
I can see your having a print quality issue with your HP OfficeJet 6310. I should be able to provide documentation that will help locate a resolution. You mentioned you have already tried another HP95 tri-color cartridge with no resolution. I also noticed you said that the quality report from the printer also has no color ink.
If a stand alone test report is performed from the front of the printer such a printhead cleaning or print quality report and there is no color on the page then you are likely looking at a hardware issue within the printer. I have provided a document regarding Missing, Faded, or Dull Colors on the HP Officejet 6310 All-in-One Printer. If you follow the document from start to finish and still have the same issue then I would recommend contacting our HP tech support via phone. They deal with hardware warranty and replacement options.
Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-phone-assist.html

How can I print a full frame photo from iPhoto 11? Even though I click on scale to fit paper size, it crops both ends of the photo in landscape set up. I have an Epson R1800 with the latest drivers.

Printer won't print after adding paper. I have an MX922

After filling the paper drawer and reinserting it, I continue to receive a message telling me the printer is out of paper.
Whats' up?

Hi pappyof4,
You will want to ensure that the paper size and type selected in the printer driver and program you are trying to print from matches the size and type of paper you are trying to print on to try and resolve the issue. You can also perform a roller cleaning on the unit to ensure that the paper path is clear for the paper to be fed. To perform the roller cleaning, please follow the steps located here.
Should you still experience difficulty, please call or email us using one of the methods on the Contact Us page for further assistance.

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.

Hp2015 define printer orientation and 'fit to paper'

i am trying to create a printer that only does 1 thing. printer landscape and fit the text to the page no matter what.
i know that may not seem practical but it will be used to only print 1 report which is slightly bigger than a page landscape at 8 pt font. 6 pt is too small. i works wonderfully when i choose the printer go thru the customizing for it, even save a quick set task named for the report. when i print it, it looks good.
but, even after saving the parameters, the next time i print 'default' to the printer some my quickset task info is gone and it returns to the defaults for the hp2015. i have thought of deleting all the quick sets except the one i made, but it wont let me delete the 'default' settings.
anyone know how i could accomplish this?
thanks. jim

New P1006 won't feed paper

My new P1006 laser printer won't feed the paper in....after a paper jam. I have followed the procedure in the on-line manual. Any ideas out there?

You could try cleaning the rubber rollers at the back of the printer by removing the rear access door and then cleaning it, as the black marks may just be ink deposited on teh rollers while feeding the paper. This will also help increase the rollers' grip in the paper and prevent any misfeeds that in turn result in a paper jam. I would definitely try this first.

How to print the Jtable into paper

im facing a problem which is after i get the data to be dispaly in the jtable but im facing problem of printing the table in paper as a report.. the report must be info about the data in table..thanks

My table has narrow columns resulting in clipping of
text. Is there some way to print the full text in the
columns?I researched Manning's Swing book and found an example of printing the content of JTable without clipping. But alas, my table doesn't fit in a standard 8.5''x11'' paper even in landscape setting. When one looks at Excel's spreadsheet output, the columns can span over multiple pages. I can live with that. Any solutions?
