Printing 4 x 6 photos from an HP Photosmart Printer

Help - I cannot figure out how to print 4 x 6 photos from my HP printer. I've set up a 4 x 6 option in the page setup but when I go to print my printer tells me to disengage the photo tray (which is what I want to use). Also, how come the resolultion is so bad when I do print to my HP printer. When I insert the memory chip directly into the printer the pictures turn out great, but when I print from Iphoto they look terrible.

Hello John,
I don't have any HP, I use Canon, but if I give you the steps I need to take from iPhoto 09 to print borderless 4 x 6, then you may be able to apply this to your friends printer.
In the iPhoto 09 print dialog, I need to select:
Printer: Canon MP980
Presets: Photo on Photo Paper
Paper Size: 4"x6" (borderless)
Print Size: Borderless
Now when you press Print, the print dialog will appear. Here I have to select Presets again and set to Photo on Photo Paper. I then change the iPhoto menu to the Canon quality menus to set additional information about the image quality. Now it is ready to print.

Printing photos from the HP Photosmart 6515- won't pick up the photo paper

I am trying to print photos from my HP Photosmart 6515. I have loaded the photo paper as the videos show, but the printer does not want to pick up the photo paper. I keep getting an error messge that says I am out of paper. If I put regular paper back into the printer, it will print on the regular paper, but not the photo paper. What am I doing wrong?

Hello jackie4,
I understand you are getting an 'Out of Paper' error when trying to pick up photo paper on your Deskjet 3515. I would like you to go ahead start troubleshooting An 'Out of Paper' Message Displays on the Control Panel and the e-All-in-One Does Not Pick Up Paper ....
Please let me know if this was successful at resolving the error message, if you require more assistance I would be happy to help.

When I try to print a 4X6 photo using Elements 12 it prints out 2X3. Does anyone know how you can get hold a live person at Adobe?

When attempting to print a 4X6 photo using Elements 12 it prints out 2X3. Does anyone know how you can get hold of a live person at Adobe?

I've never done a forum and am not exactly sure what to do from here.   I
know how to do a screen shot on my phone, but not on my computer.
I'm about ready to throw every adobe product I have out the window!   If
you purchase a product you should be able to get support from the company.

Can't print a color photo from 6.06 on my Epson Photo RX580

I need to print a photo of some plumbing layout. Much faster than drawing it. But I can't print it! I've tried in both iPhoto and dragging the photo to the desktop and printing from there. A "low resolution warning" icon is diplayed on the photo preview when I try to print in iPhoto, and on the print dialog box when I try to print from the desktop, there's a tiny warning icon next to the printer as well. I can print Word files OK, Excel files, everything but an iPhoto picture that was taken at high resolution. Anybody have any ideas? Thank you all very much for any help.
Rick

Rick:
Select the photo and in the info pane at the bottom of the Source pane check to see what the size of the image is. Report back with the info.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

I have recently installed Aperture 3.1 and my Canon MG 6150 is unable to print good quality photos from it I have to use iPhoto to produce good quality prints. o

I have recently installed Aperture 3.1, but my Canon MG6150 has been unable to print photos of good quality from the Aperture print engine
and I have to return to iPhoto to obtain prints I am happy with.

I have now to reply to my own question having later found a thread over another canon printer with the answer. In the second print dialog box you click on "show details" and then on "layout". The following schreen shots make this clear. The settings can then be saved as a preset.
It's a pity the Canon helpdesk was not able to give me this information. I hope that this will help others with similar problems.

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion 10.8.2, I can no longer print head shot photos from CONTACTS. Please assist.

Before upgrading to Mountain Lion, I was able to print head shots - in ALPHABETICAL order, mind you - from Contacts. Why do we not have this feature any more? Please bring back the way it was! Thank you!
Issue printing from Contacts: can't print head shots and it's no longer in alphabetical order.
Please don't tell me I can do this from iCloud, because it only prints one contact at a time.

Click GO from Finder and hold down the Option key. You'll see the Library folder in the list. Or you can click GO and select Go To Folder and type ~/Library. This will open the user\Library folder.

Im having trouble printing photos from my HP Photosmart B110

I've set up the printer correctly but was unable to print photos initially so I reinstalled the software which worked. I could use the options and printer properties functions once Id selected a photo, allowing me to resize pictures etc. And then after a while it just stopped! When I click print, nothing happens, the status bar comes up and disappears straight away whereas before it would tell me its sending the print to the printer and when I check the print que, there is nothing there. The only thing that happened was my internet disconnected for a little while and after it came back on, nothing worked? Surely everytime my internet disconnects I don't have to reinstall everything again???? Please help me

Can't get decent photos from new HP 6940 printer

Thanks to all for their patience with a total newbie. I have tried a search of the forum for the relevant info, but frankly don't even know enough to frame a decent query.
When my old Epson printer recently died, I bought an HP 6940 on recommendation of a salesman (mistake #1?). I have PSE v4.0, and had always gotten very nice prints from the Epson.
The results from the HP have been atrocious, both in color and B&W. Just no tone subtleties at all. The canned 'printer test' pages that come out are very nice, so I figure the machine is capable of decent results when properly set-up. The pull-down menu pick for Adobe printing cites a 1998 date!
Can anyone offer some color management pointers for adjusting within the HP driver software (is the proper term "color management"?)
Thanks to all,
Bill

Thanks, Barbara - I am using HP photo paper and the #99 cartridge.
The Epson printer driver did just great. With HP, there seems to be a tremendous bias toward yellow - skin looks jaundiced. Reducing yellow values even slightly, however, throws skin tones into a glowing and nuclear red.
This is a photo with huge dynamic range, admittedly: a flash picture of a child's face in a dark room. Attempts to render the somewhat "blown-out" face by 'selecting' the face and reducing its contrast and brightness with PSE throws it into unhealthy yellow.
It may just be that the range is too great for this modest printer. I should probably look around the 'Net for an HP printer discussion forum...

My iPad shows my Photosmart 7510 but won't print. Wireless commands from my computer to printer work

My iPad shows my Photosmart 7510 but won't print. I've disconnected and reconnected printer, turned iPad off and on. My computer communicates well wirelessly with the printer. Troubleshoot further?

I would try a hard reset on the iPad.
To do so, hold both the home button and sleep button down at the same time.
Keep holding them until the device restarts and you see the Apple logo.
Once you see the Apple logo, you can go ahead and release the buttons.
Once the iPad is booted back up, try to print to your 7510 again.
Let know if that helps resolve your issue or not.
Best of luck,
Kyle

My printer prints all my photos red. Everything else prints fine. It printed photos fine before.

Does anyone know why this would happen?

Hi - Not sure which printer you have, so I'll give you a few general troubleshooting steps.
- Make sure that none of the ink cartridges are empty. If the cyan or yellow run out, you'll get a definite red/pink hue to the printouts.
- Verify that the paper type setting in whatever application you're using, matches the paper type you're using. From personal experience, I've seen red hues to everything when I've had the wrong paper type selected.
You might also run through the steps in this document to help narrow down the problem.
Hope that helps.

Print directly thru wifi from iPad to air print compatiable printer

I have a HP Deskjet 3050A-J611 printer which is suppose to be air print compatiable with Apple. I can't seem to be able to print anything directly from my iPad to the printer and there is a wifi connection. Can anyone help me please?

angel, are you in an enterprise network environment, or a home network? Also, you may need to go into the printer configuration and enable Bonjour broadcasts, as far as you can tell, is that turned on?

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.

I can not print a PDF from a HP Photosmart Plus B210A. HP says its is a Adobe problem and Adoble says it is not there problem

I am unable to print a PDF file from a HP Photosmart Plus B210a. I contacted HP and they say because the printer does print word docs etc. the printer cannot be the cause of the problem. This is from the Top Level Support team. When contacting Adobe, they say that not being able to print their PDF files is not there problem but HP's.
Another call to HP and they now say it is Apple's problem.
I am in the middle and still can't print a PDF file. When trying to do so, it doesn't print and I receive no error messages. Just nothing. My serial number is
W88110PFZE3 and my operating system is OSX 10.6.8.
Does anyone have a suggestion, or do I just throw out HP?
Thanks, Bob L.

Try opening the PDF in Preview and see if it will print out of it.

When I try to print a photo from iphoto, I select the photo, click print and the preview shows there is a lot of the photo cut off. It also prints this way. How can I print the whole picture?

After selecting File > Print, a pop-up window should appear. Select "Customize" and this should take you back into a panel within iPhoto. Towards the bottom, you should see an option for "Layout". Select this option and choose the correct photo orientation.
Hope this helps!
