Printer cuts off top inch of page

When I print something off the internet, for instance my bill from my cable provider, the top one inch is cut off which may contain important infromation. Can I adjust something myself on the printer or do I need service?

HP4630 Cutting off top inch of page

Every time I print, the printer cuts off the top inch of the page. I tried running the HP Print and Scan Doctor with no luck. Any ideas how to fix this?

Printing cuts off top of heads

I use PSE4 on a WIN XP with all updates. I have a photo (originally 5x7) that I resized to 4x6. WHen I try printing it on my HP PHOTOSMART 7960 on 4x6 HP photo paper with tab the printer always cuts off the top of one head. I have tried sizing down the picture to 3.95 inches and then printing on 4x6 paper. I have tried everything else I can think of and it ALWAYS cuts off the top of their heads. WHen I print the photo with a different photo software the print comes out O.K.
What Am I not selecting, etc. to print the photo as what-you-see-is-is-what-you-get in PSE4?

I'm beginning to suspect the aspect ratio of this image isn't correct. Do this experiment and see what happens:
First, make a copy of the image file you're working on so you don't experiment on an original.
Have the copy open on your desktop (in Editor), then go to Image>Resize>Image Size. Make sure there is no checkmark next to Resample, and then start increasing (or decreasing) just the number in the resolution box until the dimensions of the image are just slightly over 4 X 6. Make sure it is 4.something by 6.something, though. Once you get to that point, click OK and accept the change.
With the resized image open on your desktop, select the Rectangular Marquee tool. Once you've selected it, choose "Fixed Size" in the tool's option bar and set the dimensions to 4 X 6. Use the tool and select a perfect 4 X 6 portion of the image, then do Image>Crop. Now try printing.
Most cameras do not produce an image file that can be reduced to a perfect sized print, so a little bit of cropping is usually required. I know that the images from my camera wind up coming closest to 6 X 4.5, so I always have to take off at least 1/2 inch on that dimension that has to be 4 inches.
I don't promise this will work, but I did notice that you said you did no cropping, and that could be the reason why you're not getting the print size you want.

Why does my printer cut off the top of copies?cc=us

My printer cuts off the top of copies. Is there some way to adjust the printing size at the top?

gedwardc, what is the size that you are trying to scan? Is it a legal document or a normal letter sized document? Has it worked before, and this is a recent developement?
I want you to do hard reset in the meantime, so unplug the machine from both the back of the unit and the wall outlet for thirty second, and then plug it back in.
Let me know!

HP PSC 2355 all-in-one printer cuts off bottoms of letters

My HP PSC 2355 All-In-One Printer cuts off the bottoms of letters. Photos are fine. 3rd HP black cartrige, got worse today.
On a Mac, 10.9.3.

Hi @timed
I would like to help you with your 2355 printer. A printer reset can initiate an alignment. Please use the following document to troubleshoot the issue, and let me know the outcome of your efforts; Troubleshooting Print Quality Problems with the Diagnostic Page.
If the issue remains unresolved after following all of the steps in the link above, I recommend contacting HP.
Don't hesitate to call, although the printer may be out of warranty, the cartridges could be in warranty; therefore, there wouldn't likely be a fee for the phone support. HP will, at HP's option, either replace products under warranty that prove to be defective or refund the purchase price.
They could even determine after troubleshooting that it is a problem with the printer, in which case they may offer you a discount on a newer model.
The number to call HP is 1-800-474-6836 for Canada and US, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
To find the “Warranty Ends” date, look in the following table for the date's location on each product. The date follows the YYYY/MM/DD or YYYY/MM format, where YYYY indicates the year, MM indicates the month, and DD indicates the day.
I hope this helps.

Printing from LinuxMint-17 to HP7525 cuts-off top and bottom of pages, enforced 15mm margins

I am printing a page from my bank (Fidelity), but there is an enforced margin of 15mm at the top and the bottom of the printed page.
This cuts-off most of the form name at the top of the page and the most of the barcode at the bottom of the page.
I find I have to "take screenshot" and import into "gimp". Then crop the page and then print directly from "gimp" to print the entire form. I have tried to teach this to my wife, to no avail. I wish HP would fix the drivers to allow Linux to print inside the margins. There is no problem printing from Windoz XP, but that is using an old hard drive and the computer runs dog slow and is ready to die.
Again, HP please update the linux drivers so my brand new printer will work as it is supposed to.

Hi @Jimec ,
I have brought your issue to the appropriate team within HP. They will need to get information from you to look up your case details or serial number. Please look for a private message.

Printing pdf files made from Filemaker docs on HP 7410 cuts off top margin

Just bought a MacBook Pro and jumped from Tiger to Snow Leopard.
Also bought FileMaker 10 replacing the FileMaker 8.5 I used up till the MacBook Pro purchase and system upgrade.
Still using the same HP 7410, but during installation, I think I remember upgrading the printer driver. At any rate, this HP Printer is now much more responsive. It was previously very slow.
When I now save documents printed as pdf's from filemaker (as I used to) and then try to print them on the HP 7410, they open fine in Preview showing the whole page with no text cut off. But when I press Print in preview and I get the HP driver preview of what will print as part of the print dialogue box, it shows the top margin of the page cut off (down to at least 1/2 ") and actually prints that way. Before the switch to Snow Leopard and the MacBook Pro, a top margin of 1/4 " worked fine and printed in pdf docs.
(top margins of 1/4" on Word & Excel documents I tested still seem to print fine)
I use the borderless printing work-around, but that seems inelegant. It also takes much, much............much longer to print when it's in that mode (even fast draft).
Why is this happening?
Is there a setting I am missing?
Can this be fixed?
Steve

What print driver are you using?
I set my printer to use the open source Gutenprint driver in place of the one supplied with my printer to resolve an issue I was having - see my post http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1626340&tstart=0
The Gutenprint home page is http://gutenprint.sourceforge.net/index.php3

Why are prints from Preview cut off at bottom of page

When I print a PDF from Preview the print has about 3/4" cut off the bottom of a portrait document or from the right of a landscape document.. When I print the same document from Acrobat Reader, it prints correctly. I use Page Setup before printing. The scaling in the other direction seems correct which makes the cut-off a mystery.
I prefer Preview for PDFs as it is much faster than Acrobat Reader. The cut-off prints have caused me grief when I have not detected them. What is going on here?

I have the same problem and can confirm it also happens in Leopard. There was traffic on a similar Leopard issue printing landscape to Windows shared printers that was fixed in 10.5.2, but it doesn't seemed to be solved for my situation (printing to CUPS shared printer). Note that it seems to be a bug in the way Preview creates a PDF for printing, since Adobe Reader works fine, and "lpr <filename>" from the command line will also work.
If you have any more info since you posted, I would be interested.

Print URL at top/ bottom of page is too small & half off the page

I set it to print URL and Title at top of the page, and Date at the bottom of the page. It attempts to do this but the print is verrry small and 1/2 off the page.
Works fine with Google Chrome.
New WF 2540 printer, test page is good.
Mac 10X
Thanks for your help!

Hi phstol, entering a value in about:config isn't very technically demanding and takes less than 60 seconds. You just need to take a deep breath when you see that long list of settings and focus in on the ones you want to change. Double-click and you can enter a number like 20 or 25. I'd try the top and bottom print edges first and see whether that makes any difference. (Hopefully you have a PDF printer driver so the experiments don't waste too much paper.) Good luck.

Photosmart C310a - photo print cut off

I print 4x6 borderless pics from PC to the printer in the highest resoltion. The preview screen
always cuts off some of the edges when in borderless mode, but none when previewing with border.
Is there a way to directly fit the photo to the size of the photo paper without leaving out any part of the pic?

I am trying to print a 6x4 photo with my HP Photosmart B8550. Everytime I go to print it, it cuts off part of the picture. I created the picture in Photoshop at 6x4 and saved it as a jpg. In the preview it shows up fine but it is NOT right when it prints. Please advise.
The edges of your image will be cut off by a printer that can’t print all the way to the edges of the paper. In order to prevent this, go to the Image Size menu again and decrease the height by 1 inch (thus also reducing the width). When printed, the image will be centered on the paper. You can also choose “Scale to Fit Media” In Page Setup.

JInternalFrame - print cut off

Hi there,
I have tried to print out the JInternalFrame's content by overriding the print() mentod.
However, it seems only those that shown on screen was printed out, i.e., if I resize the frame to a smaller size, I print out fewer things.
On top of that, even if I maximize the frame, only half the page is print out (i.e., I got half a blank page which I need to fill).
Here is my code for printing the frame
public class JPInternalFrame extends JInternalFrame implements Printable {
   public JPInternalFrame() { }
   public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int pi) throws PrinterException {
   if (pi >= 1) {
       return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
   Graphics2D newG = (Graphics2D) g;
   newG.setClip(0,0,650,850); // reset to a new clip cooedinate
   newG.scale(0.6,0.6);
   Font f = new Font("Arial",Font.PLAIN,10);
   newG.setFont(f);
   RepaintManager currentManager = RepaintManager.currentManager(this);
   currentManager.setDoubleBufferingEnabled(false);
   super.paintAll(newG);
   currentManager.setDoubleBufferingEnabled(true);
   return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
.and
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
      PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();\
      printJob.setPrintable(one);
      if (printJob.printDialog())
      try { printJob.print(); } catch (Exception PrintException) { }
}Thanks for your time.

Hi there,
I just found out that my JInternal Frame can now print a full page. But this only happens when I open multiple JInternalFrame.
- If I only open 1 frame, it only print half a page (cut off at the middle);
- If I open multiple, print any one of them would be a full page;
- If I open multiple 1st, close them down to 1 frame, it would still print a full page;
- If I close them all, open 1 frame and print, it would back to half-page-cut-off...
Would anyone able to give me some direction please?
Much appericate for any help!
Cheers

I urgently need to get this form printed so ny help would really be appreciated.

Hello macnewcomer22,
Please review the steps below to set Borderless printing, It can be configured within the Paper Type/Quality options.
For Lion, click the Show Details button to expend the print settings.

Words cut off at bottom of page

I have a nicely formated document and on some pages the words get cut off at the bottom when the linespacing pushes them right to the bottom margin. The footer is fine just below it. How can I fix that?

Yes there are facing pages, each is 8.5x5" and there are about 45 pages to the document. I switched to non-facing pages and that didn't fix the problem. It only happens on pages where the line goes right to the bottom edge. It's almost as though the setting that would push that line to the next page is slightly off. I tried other fonts and the same thing happens. It shows up in the exported .pdf file and also when I print it so it's not a display issue.
I hate to say it, but I think it's a bug. I'm surprised it hasn't happened to anyone else. Since it only happens on 3 or 4 pages out of the 45, I'll do a hack. Once everything else is totally layed out, I'll slightly adjust the line spacing somewhere on each of the problem pages so that the line pulls up above the cut off.
Thank you so much for your help fruhulda. If you do replicate it somehow, I'd be curious to find out what the problem was.
