Printing 4x6

Little backround
I have a HP photosmart 8450. I switched from PC to mac and I used Bonjour to install printer.
When I want to print 4x6 photos I chose the 4x6 option but in the preview on the left it shows 4x6 on 8x10 paper.
I want to use my 4x6 paper that I have in printer.
When I chose paper size 4x6 and want to print, it is not showing (in preview onleft side) and will not print.
Not the program prview but the prview pane.

rappa:
Try this workflow:
Steps for printing 4 x 6 prints from iPhoto:
1 - crop the photo to 4 x 6 beforehand in iPhoto.
2 - in Page Setup select your printer, 4x6 or 4x6 borderless under Paper Size and the proper page orientation.
3 - click once on the picture you want to print to make sure it's selected.
4 - now click on the Print button in iPhoto.
5 - in the iPhoto print window, select your printer again, select Style = "Standard Prints", Size= 4x6 and click on One photo per page.
6 - click on the Print button.

  • Printing 4x6 photos on HP Laserjet 4630. photo paper tray not working?

    I am trying to print 4x6 photos on glossy paper.  My printer has a photo paper tray in addition to a standard letter tray.  When I specify 4x6 borderless glossy paper in the print parameters, the printer keeps pulling from the standard paper tray instead of the photo tray on top of the printer.  This has worked for me in the past, but I haven't used it in a long time.  What must I be doing wrong?

    Hey. I'm a photographer with the C4280.
    This printer takes care of 8.5 x 11's pretty much perfectly. But 4 x 6 not for me on iPhoto or Photoshop.
    So what I did was I set up a pages document with a blank template, set at 4 x 6 inches.
    I dragged rulers about .25inches in and threw in the photo set at 4 x 6 ratio. So... most photos are 4 x 6, just resize it to fit in the rulers.
    I've noticed in most occasions it cuts off the top of the photo document when laid out in portrait.
    What I do is a hit command p, select the printer but choose under the drop box that says "layout" i hit borderless printing, and a selectable box will show up saying "print borderless" and i just clicked it.
    on the document though you might want to make the opacity 10% to save ink. you have to trouble shoot the exact place to set and drag up or down the photo. but once you get it, its reliable the duration the document is open and the printer is on.
    i know its kind of pointless for one, but i had a shoot with live printing on the spot with this printer and its great. you can add texts boxes and put those perfectly where you want (once you set the picture so its set) and throw in another picture and really customize the 4 x 6.
    i printed a postcard with the writing already in it. just had to mail it no writing involved.
    you also need iwork 08 or 09. i have 08 but im sure 09 works. so if you save the pages doc as a template you can just drag in the image file into where the old image is and print that way.
    command p, choose borderless printing in the drop box and click print borderless. it should work.
    email me for a copy of my pages document. [email protected]
    i promise though, with canon or epson 4 x 6 print paper, its pretty amazing. almost comparable to my prints from my printer.
    or you can fit 12 3.5 x 2inch (business card sized) pics on an 8.5 x 11.

  • How do I get my HP 2645 to print 4x6 cards. It gives me a mismatch paper size error

    How do I get my HP 2645 to print 4x6 cards?   It gives me a mismatch paper size error.

    Hi @aleek,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums! I see you would like to print 4x6 cards to your HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2645, when you attempt to print the card you get a 'Paper Mismatch' error.
    I would like you to go ahead and take a look in your User Guide on page 10, here it shows how to load the media and change the printing preferences, although it shows Photos, you would use the same guidelines and steps for the Index cards, just be sure to change the media type to the correct card you are using.
    Once you have the media loaded and settings set if you are still getting the error, continue here: 'Paper Mismatch,' or 'Paper Size Mismatch' Error Message Displays When Printing
    I hope this helps, if you have anymore questions please let me know.

  • Trying to print 4x6 photos on 7520, always gives no paper in tray message

    I am trying to print 4x6 photos from my laptop.  I have changed the preferences for the printer to "photo tray" and 4x6 photo paper.  I keep getting the message "no paper in tray".  The main tray is empty and I have 4x6 photo paper in the photo tray.  What next?

    the settings are correct.  if I put paper in the main tray it prints the picture on paper, not photo paper.  I printed a test page last night and it printed on the photo paper.  I still get the same message when trying to print the photo.  Thanks

  • Iphoto 08 Will not print 4x6 borderless prints to HP 3210xi All In One

    Hi Folks,
    I've just installed Iphoto 08 and upgraded to the latest version 7.1.2. I've also just installed the latest HP 9.7 Mac drivers released to support 10.5.2 on 2/4/08. However I can not get Iphoto 08 to print 4x6 borderless prints to my HP 3210xi All In One Photo Smart printer.
    I'd appreciate any feedback/suggestions from anyone who is able to get Iphoto 08 to print properly.
    Jim

    Jim:
    I don't have an solution but this printing problem with HD all in ones has been discussed many times. Do a search in this forum for HP All In One or HP 3210xi or other similar search terms and you'll find the various threads where it is discussed. I don't remember if a solution was found in any of them as I don't have an HP and didn't pay much attention.
    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 created 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

    JimHess~  Many thanks.  In my short history with LR, it's amazing how many people I've seen ask this question.  I'm nearly embarrassed at how simple the fix was, but grateful that you didn't dismiss such a basic question.  You made my week.  And my friend's photo album...

  • Printing 4x6 on Epson CX6600 problem

    Hi All,
    I have been printing 4x6 prints with no problem till last week. Now when I choose the 4x6 borderless option in iPhoto 6 the preview looks fine on the printer settings page but when I choose preview the photo shows up as a 4x6 on letter size paper and that is how it prints. Inserting 4x6 paper I get 1/4 of the picture printed on one edge.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Do you think this is an iPhoto problem or should I reinstall the printer driver?
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    Thanks, this did help me. The absolutely confounding thing is the print preview you see in the print dialog LIES. This scale to size option is a truly obscure setting nested in the advanced set under a pull down menu. I have never looked at it much less changed it. I have wasted HOURS of time on this simple problem which is quite frustrating as I am normally quite technically proficient.

  • 6515 won't print 4x6 photos defaults to 8x10. This happens on two different hp computers

    Hp 6515 will not print 4x6 photos defaults to 8x10 paper tray. This happens on two different model HP computers.

    Hello Cal31,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand when you try to print a 4x6 photo, it defaults to 8x10 paper. What is your operating system on your computer(s)? Windows or Mac?
    I would recommend following this HP document on An 'Out of Paper' Message Displays on the Control Panel and the e-All-in-One Does Not Pick Up Paper ... Make sure you change the "Print Settings" to the correct paper size and the "Media Tab" is set on "Photo Tray".
    Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you.

  • Have HP Deskjet 1660; when I go to print 4x6 borderless photo there is still a border on the bottom

    I have HP Deskjet 1660 printer. When I want to print 4x6 bordeless photo there is still a border on the bottom of photo. Tried many times with no success.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    The Deskjet 1660 cannot print full borderless on all 4 sides, there is a bottom margin of ~0.46".  To get a borderless print use "4x6in photo paper with tabs" such as here.  That paper has a microperf removable 1/2" tab that is removed after printing leaving a clean 4x6 borderless print.

  • HP Photosmart c4450 prints and scans normal 8.5x11 fine, but will not print 4x6 laminate pictures.

    HP Photosmart c4450 prints and scans normal 8.5x11 fine, but will not print 4x6 laminate pictures. Using the printer completely unconnected from a pc or network, using a SSD memory card to print off. As the printer begins the print, the printer prints only about 3/4 of the image, and clips the rest leaving it blank. Within the options, you can see the whole picture on the LCD screen, and selecting the 4x6 print mode it still clips the picture. 
    Not sure exactly whats going on, the printer was doing this fine for about a year, and just randomly started to print with the image cut off at the beging and ending abruptly at the end only printing half-3/4's. Also using the same memory card, have not tried a different card though. Any ideas?

    As far as I know,  you cannot scan or perform software-based copying over a Bluetooth connection. Printing is doable. Perhaps that is something that is in the pipe for developement.

  • I cannot print 4x6 photos only 8.5x11

    When I try to print a 4x6 photo it looks like it has a red haze to it. When I try to print the same picture on 8.5x11 it prints perfectly. How do I get the printer to print 4x6 photos. I am using HP paper. Can you help?

    Hi there eod126,
    Could you provide the community with a little more information to help narrow troubleshooting? Things like your printer model and your operating system help out a lot.

  • L7680 Won't print 4x6 photo-Erro​r Code B842F086

    Prints letter size OK. Test page and alignment pages good.  When I try to print 4x6 photos, printer locks up and I get an immediate error message “Turn power off then on again”, then error code B842F086.  Later, the message “….Improper shut down”

    Yes, it has always printed 4x6 just fine. I am talking about 'borderless'  4x6.  Just as an experiment, I tried 4x6 with border and one other 4x6 format (don't remember), no joy.  They I retried 4x6 bordrless and it worked fine.  Printed several sets of photos. 
    Go figure???

  • When I print 4x6 photos they are crooked on the paper

    Can anyone tell me why, when I print 4x6 photos the photo is crooked on the paper?

    Hello ncurto,
    Sorry that the photos are coming out crooked.  There actually could be a number of reasons why this could be happening.  I would like to request a little information from you.
    1.  The model number of the printer.  (c309, a909, d110)
    2.  What type of paper are you using?  (brand and size)
    3.  Have you done any type of troubleshooting since the issue has begun?  (Cleaning rollers, power cycling)
    4.  How long has this issue been a problem and did it ever print correct?
    5.  Does this error occur when you print out of the one application or all applications?
    The answers you provide will allow me to better diagnose the issue.
    If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!
