Printing actual size on custom size paper on OSX 10.9

Hi,
I just updated my computer to OSX Maverick and I have problem when printing actual size document on a custom page size in Acrobat X.
I want to print a 5.5" x 8.5" document on a 12" x 24" paper sheet size. I want my document to be centred in the paper at is actual size. When I select the paper size in the Page Setup... and the "Actual size" option, I have the right preview but once it is printed, the document is Fit to page.
I have updated my printer driver and I am able to print my document correctly if I open it in Preview.
I also have the same problem when printing in Acrobat on other printers.
Can anyone help me resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance.

I have the exact same problem, please let me know if you come across a solution for this and i will do same for you.
My PDF"s print to the correct size when printing using preview, so this is my temporary work around.

How do I print more than one custom-size photo on a page in PSE 10?

I recently upgraded from Photoshop Elements 6 to Photoshop Elements 10. I make greeting cards, and on PSE 6 I was able to print two custom-size (6-1/2” x 5”) cards on each 8-1/2” x 11” sheet of photo paper. The option to print more than one custom-size card on a single sheet of paper is not available in PSE 10. I want to know how I can print more than one custom-size card (or photo) on a page in PSE 10?

Have you tried downloading and installing the drivers from here?

I have a iMac and i just updated the computer to Yosemite. I have Photoshop CS5 and when I try to print under print size --- manage custom size , photoshop unexpectedly quits every time. I updated the printer drivers (epson 9880) uninstalled and installed all the drivers. restarted computer and it is still doing the same thing. Cant find any costumer service here either except forums.

I have exactly the same problem - Whenever I go to Print, the print widow appears, it thinks about it for a bit (rotating symbol) and then quits.
This is the beginning of the problem details, cut and paste. It goes on much longer than this:

Printer won't recognize custom size paper

i have a Photosmart Premium C309g that was working fine up until recently. it will not recognize a custom sheet paper that is 3.75" x 9.00. i was able to print 50 wedding invitations for my daughter and when i had to print 25 more the printer does not recognize the paper, i keep getting an error that reads out of paper. if i put a full sheet in the printer it will print. i have also had this issue with trying to print response cards that are 4.00 x 3.75". I have reloaded the HP drivers for this printer, i have bought a new Windows office program and still nothing works. Any ideas would be helpful.

Welcome to the forum! Check out this document which goes in-depth on troubleshooting paper feeding issues: 'Out of Paper' Error Message Displays and the Product Does Not Pick Up or Feed Paper
Best of luck!

Difficulty printing borderless photos for custom sizes

I am finding it difficult to print a borderless photo. When I try to print using the photo paper I have it always prints a border (or does not print in the border - so i guess this is called cropped).
The photo paper is not in the "Paper Size" list of the print dialogue in Preview (or iPhoto). So I specify the size using the "Manage Custom Sizes" option (similar in iPhoto). The size is 89 x 127 mm. In the print preview it looks fine, but when it is printed, a white border (ie, non printed area) crops the whole image. The one side is a 5mm border, with its opposite being 3 and the other two being 3.4.
I have noticed that when I play around with the Paper size, the standard sizes (like A4) for example, all have a "borderless" option (ie, I can select "A4" or "A4 (borderless)"). When A borderless size is selected certain other options are disabled/enabled. For example, the options under the "borderless printing" 'tab' is enabled and the options under the "duplex printing and margins" 'tab' becomes disabled. This is the exact opposite for when I try and specify my paper size. So perhaps this is a factor. (Even though I would have expected the "border" option set to "none" would mean that there would be no border...)
So just to save ppls time, this is what I am doing when I print:
1. The image is exactly 89x127mm (created with GIMP)
2. I print using Preview (similar results are achieved in iPhoto, but more pain to get there)
3. I set the paper size to 8.9 by 12.7cm (see note 1)
4. I don't change the scale (though i have experimented with all options here and nothing seems to change).
5. I check that Layout > Border > None is selected. It always is.
6. I change Quality and Media > Media Type to Glossy Photo Paper. (not that this should matter)
7. I go to borderless printing tab and note that it is disabled. great.
8. The preview shows no borders and so I hit print, but the borders come anyway (the image gets cropped).
Note
I have managed to print borderless photo images with this printer using the supplied photo paper that came with the printer. I don't think i have been able to do it since moving to this new size but I may be wrong...
Note 1
When I am setting the size in Preview, I can specify the "Non-Printable Areas". I set these to zero, though I note that the 'canon mp640 series' presets are the exact measurements that is the area that does not get printed.
Note 2
In case it has a bearing on the problem, the printer I am using is a Canon MP640.

I have had some more trials to print without boarders. This time, it was inside of iPhoto. I had made a greeting card and wanted to print to a custom size. but without the ability to select the size as a boarder less size, I was unable to print directly. So instead, I had to save as a pdf > save pdf to iPhoto and then print the image as a photo (instead of a card).

How do I print a custom size from Photoshop CS3?

I am using Photoshop CS3 with System 10.6 Snow Leopard, and I am printing on an Epson Stylus Photo R2000. The custom paper size is 8.5 x 14 inches. When I print the page the design appears to have expanded beyond the paper size. I need to make a borderless print, so I can't just shrink the image. What do I need to do?

There should be a Custom Size setting for your Printer in the Photoshop Print dialog: Page Setup > Paper Size > Manage Custom Sizes.

Can't print borderless on custom size?

Using Pixma MX455
I've bought a bunch of blank dvd insert paper, pre-cut (like these) and tried to print one for testing. So i've set the media type in the printer settings as 'glossy photo paper' and set the paper size to 'custom' with the right settings (7.25" x 10.75") but the moment i tick the 'borderless printing' option, the 'custom' option is removed from the paper size options and it reverts back to A4. this happens even when i use 'plain paper' as well.
Is there a way to override this restriction?
What can i do to print borderless on a custom size?

Hi jeanpaul,
When printing from your iOS devce, the paper size is selected automatically according to the application software being used on the device. When Apple's photo application software is used, the default paper size is 4x6. If you want to print on another paper size such as letter size paper, you will need to use a program that has that paper size as a selectable option and print from that program to the printer.

CS5 & Manage Custom Sizes when printing.

Every time I try to “manage custom sizes” when printing, Photoshop “quits unexpectedly.” I am using Photoshop CS5, and Epson 7800, and Mac Yosemite. I’ve done all the updates, and reinstalled the driver. Any ideas on troubleshooting?

I am having the exact same problem with an Epson 3880. I chatted with Epson support earlier today and they suggested that I uninstall the drivers and support software and reinstall. I followed their instructions and the result was the same. I did save my image file to a TIFF format and then opened it under Preview and when I used file->print and selected "manage custom sizes" it brought up the custom size menu as expected. I also attempted this using Photoshop Elements 11 and the "manage custom sizes" menu appeared only in this case when I selected "Cancel" Elements crashed too.
It is not clear to me how to proceed with kglad's recommendation to "shutdown running processes in a logical manner". I don't know what a logical manner might be.
Anyway, I have just done a complete uninstall of Photoshop CS5 and I'm about to reinstall it from the distribution DVD. I think I'll test the "manage custom sizes" before I install the updates this time.
I'd sure appreciate it if you come up with anything, that you would post it here. Thanks
So, I uninstalled Photoshop 5, restarted my iMac, and reinstalled Photoshop CS5. When I attempted to Manage Custom Sizes, Photoshop CS5 blew up.
I find that I can add custom sizes and manage them from Preview and then use them in Photoshop. So, I guess that will have to suffice until someone comes up with a fix. Given that Photoshop CS5 is no longer supported that will probably be never.
Post here if something better comes along.

HP 5000GN Custom size problem

I've asked this before a while back and didn't get any response so I'm giving it another shot!
I have a HP 5000GN printer, I'm running on Windows 7 32. All of the documentation says that I should be able to print to sheets of 12 x 18 paper if I do it out the back of the printer. I've tried adding the custom size (although the manual says that there is a default setting of "Tabloid Extra" that doesn't seem to appear). If I print to PDF, the custom sizes that I have added show up in the drop down selection box and work just fine, but as soon as I select the laser printer, those custom choices disappear. Any advice on how I can get my printer to print to this size?

Hi.
Try this:
function myOpen(){
var newWindow = window.open('','myPage.do');
newWindow.resizeTo(150,250);
onClick=myOpen();
Or if you are using uix:
function myOpen(){
var newWindow = openWindow(window,
'myPage.do',
'lovWindow', true, 'newWindow');
newWindow.resizeTo(150,250);
onClick=myOpen();

New problem in page setup; custom sizes

Although previously working fine, while using Pages, custom page set up settings aren't taking effect. Trying to do a business card setting of 3.54 x 2.05 with no margins. It always comes back with a 8 1/2" x 11" page. I restarted pages, then rebooted the mac, and continue having this problem. Other test sizes now seem to be giving me the same result.
I am going to: Page setup, paper size, manage custom sizes.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there. I just tested this and found I was able to change from cm, which is my default, to inches simply by setting System Preferences > International > Formats > Measurement Units to US from Metric.
It sounds like you may be doing this already, so the only other thing I can suggest is to quit the Application you are attempting to set the Custom Size in. I found that after I set the Measurement Units back to Metric, the Manage Custom Sizes still showed inches in the dimensions boxes. But after I quit the application and then opened it again, the Manage Custom Sizes menu was showing cm again.

Custom size photos

Help -- I saw a similar topic in IPhoto 8 forum but I am still using version 6.0.
I want to resize a photo to a specific custom size. 4.5x4.5 inches. I am not sure how to do this. Tried to convert to pixels under custom constraint and that didn't seem to work. I don't know what the size of the "square" option under the standard sizes is (the measurement) but it is bigger than I need.
Can I make custom sizes in IPhoto 6??
Thanks!

first crop the photo to 45x45 (cropping works only in ratios and does not accept fractions so this will give you a square photo) then print it a a custom size of 4.5" x 4.5" - pixels and inches have no relation to each other

I am currently trying to print using Microsoft Word for Mac 2011 version 14.4.5, but I have the same problem with printing from Adobe Reader 9.8.5 or Preview 8.0.
I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10.
My printer's firmware is "up to date" as of 28-Aug-2014.
This is what I did:
1. Open System Preferences from the Apple menu.
2. Click on the Printers & Scanners icon.
3. Click on the + sign under the list of printers to add a printer
4. Click on IP
5. Enter my IP address in the Address field (verified as "valid and complete host name or address")
6. Ignore Protocol field (default is Line Printer Daemon - LPD)
7. Ignore Queue field (default is blank for default queue)
8. Ignore Name field (default is IP address)
9. Ignore Location field (default is blank)
10. Under the Use dropdown menu, I select "Select Software"
11. HP Deskjet 9800 is not an option.
I searched for 9800, but there is no HP printer with that number in the options.
I tried selecting "HP DeskJet 980C - Gutenprint v5.2.3" to see if that would work, but I received the same error message as above. I tried selecting other random HP printers, but so far I've had no luck.
I've been googling about for a way to manually add a printer driver to this "Select Software" list, but I've found nothing (apparently, no one else wants to do this). I did not find a driver download for the HP DeskJet 9800 for OS X Yosemite 10.10 on the Drivers & Software section of the hp.com website.
Additional details on settings for Microsoft Word for Mac 2011 version 14.4.5:
Selected File > Page Setup from menu
Under the Paper Size drop down menu, I selected manage custom size.
- Click + to add a paper size
- Enter "2.75" in width and "6 in" height in the paper size fields.
- Enter "0 in" as the User Defined Non-Printable Area for top, left, right and bottom.
- Double-clicked Untiled in the custom size list and rename the size as Receipt
- Click OK to return to the Page Setup dialog box
Under Settings: Page Attributes:
- Format for "HP Officejet Pro 8600"
- Paper size: Receipt
- Orientation: "tall/portrait"
- Scale: 100%
- Click OK
Select Format > Document and set all page margins to 0.25"
Thank you.

Printing Problem with custom size paper in Illustrator

Hi having problems with my custom sized paper print using my canon printers it's the same on both the ip100 and the pro-100s, it was printing fine until i've updated my illustrator and mac os Yosemite, it prints the image at a reduced size on the paper to what it should be does anyone have any understanding of this? I've tried everything i know, is this a driver or system problem?

Hi there wasn't an option to set the default printer to pdf where would I do this?
I've done a bit of a work around that seems to be working. I've put the page set up as A4 and then clicked on the printer utility custom settings and then unticked detect paper width, so I can put through the paper I want just got to tweak the x and y to get it right, its not the best but sitting here for four hours trying to figure it out, it will have to do for now. Thanks Jacob for your help, no doubt I'll be back in the morning, I'm burnt out now!

Printing on Custom size paper

I just purchased a HP Photosmart 7515 and I am trying to print on a paper 5 x 6.5 inches. I am doing this document in Word and I have the page set up in word correctly, but when I go to print the printer acts as if I have paper that is letter size (8.5 x 11in). When I go into the printer's properties and try to choose the paper size I get a drop down menu of several sizes, but not an option to do a custom size. Is it even possible to print on a custom sized paper or do I need to return the printer? If you know how to do it please let me know. Thank you.

Hi,
I afraid the printer does not support using a custom paper sizes.
An alternative driver as the C310 is likely to fail as a such is not supported by the firmware.
You may find the printer specification below, as you may see any custom media size paper is not listed as supported within the Paper-handling specifications, I afraid a such is not supported for your printer:
