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!

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?

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 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

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.

Photosmart c4480 cutting off top of photos

hi, i bought this printer today and thought i would give it a test run on photos from a memory card on 6x4 paper but it keeps cutting the top of the photo off a little bit
am i doing something wrong? is there a way of stopping this happening?
thanks mandy

It has to do with how all the camera sensors are made.
You can't change the aspect ratio in the camera. You need to crop the photo using some sort of photo modification software. I think all the picture editors have a crop function. So, the picture is a 4x3 aspect ratio. You need to cut about 10-12% off the short dimension on the computer.
Of course, the dorky workaround is to always take pictures with about 5% of stuff you don't care about on the top and bottom of the picture. So, you zoom out a little, and, when you print the picture, it will crop stuff that's okay to crop. Of course, if the pictures are already taken, that doesn't work.
Sorry about the frustration!
Let me know how it goes!

Borderless printing cutting off bottom

I have been printing borderless 5x7 prints in PSE8 forever. All of the sudden yesterday, it started cutting off the bottom of the print. It still prints borderless on top and the sides, just not the bottom. I know for a fact it is not the printer. I am not sure if there is some setting that has accidentally gotten changed or what......any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Suggest that you reset preferences. It may fix it:
Preference settings control how Photoshop Elements displays images, cursors, and transparencies, saves files, uses plug‑ins and scratch disks, and so on. If the application exhibits unexpected behavior, the preferences file may be damaged. You can restore all preferences to their defaults.
Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift immediately after Photoshop Elements begins launching. Click Yes to delete the Adobe Photoshop Elements settings file.
A new preferences file is created the next time you start Photoshop Elements. For information on a specific preference option, search for the preference name in Help.
Close the program and reopen.

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
Sam

Clips cut off top?

When I drag my clips into the project area, it cut off some of the sides, particularly the top of people's heads.
Is there a way to make it so it won't do this?
Thanks,
Phil

Are the people horizontal in your clips? Only joking. Anyway, did you set the project properties correctly for your footage e.g. widescreen? File >project properties>aspect ratio.
If you think you did, go to preferences and under the browser tab do you have a tick next to "clips in events browser use project crop setting" ? Untick and try that.
Are you using stabilization?

Hp envy 4502 cutting off tops of photos

When I try to print photos with my Envy 4502, the photos always are cut off at the top - anywhere from 3/4" to practically the entire photo. The results are never consistant as to how much of the photo is cut off, but it is ALWAYS cut off. I am using Corel Paint Shop Pro X6 (64-bit). I am using glossy photo paper (230gsm, 10 mil) and have tried custom setting the margins, which doesn't seem to have any affect. I set up the printer to photo paper, borderless off, and have tried using the best resolution and the normal resolution. Nothing seems to help. I am up to date with the driver and software for my printer and also for the Corel program. I sure hope you can help. I feel like I am wasting so much ink, which is so expensive that I can't afford to print out unacceptable prints.

Welcome , I would like to see if I can help you with printing your photos correctly. I was wondering, if you save the photo and open it with another program - does it print properly? When you explain the photo is cut-off, does it look like the photo is shifted, cropped or just missing? I found several documents that talk about the print settings, you could see if any have a setting you haven't tried yet;Print Photos Saved on Your Computer (Windows)Printing Documents (Windows)Printing and Changing Print Settings (Windows)Changing Print Settings in Windows 8Changing Default Print Settings Please let me know if any of these steps resolved your issue, or if there is anything else I can do to help. I look forward to hearing from you! Thanks,

Printing cut off in acrobat pro x

In Acrobat Pro X for Windows, some documents cut off the right side by about 1". I've tried every setting change I can think of and nothing works to get the document centered again.
Any thoughts?

It certainly would help if you would provide us some specifics of the type of printer you are having this problem with, the driver you use with it, and the characteristics of the files that fail in this manner. It would also help if you could advise what OS version you are running on (Windows 7 64-bit) for example.
My guess is that this is not a PostScript printer and that perhaps the OS-resident printer driver is running out of memory to rasterize complex pages, but that is a stab-in-the-dark.
Come back with more info and we'll try to help.
