Printing Error, Images print too small - postage-stamp-size

When I print from Photoshop (CS4 or CS5 - this has been going on for a while) the result is always a tiny image which apperas in the upper left corner of the page - about the size of a stamp - no matter the size specified in the PSD file.
To illustrate the printed page looks like this:
I expected this:
The print dialogue box looks like this:
I have tried tweaking setting - nothing I have done impacts this error.  It occure 100% of the time and only with Photoshop.
My work around for the last few years has been to "Save As" a PDF.  Open the PDF and print it from Acrobat.  This always works and is not a huge labor, so I've just gotten used to doing it.  But I'd really like to understand why this is happeneing and to avoid the 'work-around' when I need a quick glimps of a hard copy.
Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong?

I'm getting the exact same problem as described above, although I'm running a Mac with OSX.  I have an HP Photosmart C310 all-in-one (no fax, though) printer.  I tried creating a new printer profile, but the problem remains.  Any other solutions folks have heard of?
ADDENDUM:  Well here's a dumb luck fix. 
I checked the "Scale to Fit Media" box
and this tells me that my 3 in x 3.5 in picture (which, by the way, is listed as these dimensions in both the image and canvas sizes) will now be 7.285 x 8.499 in.  Ok.  Let's  try.  When I printed it, the image came out the proper size. 
It's wrong, and I don't care.  It worked.

    Prints too small.  When I disable shrink to fit to after enlarging font, it cuts off text.
    How to print larger?

    I use a Compaq laptop computer, belong to Frontier.Com and TRY to print on C3180 All In One.  It was working fine, but now

  • Print too small, tried everything (I think..)

    Hi
    I recently installed the driver for this printer from the HP site and replaced some empty ink cartridges. So, printer now prints.
    Trouble is, whatever I do in Preferences, or in Word, Acrobat, anything, the page prints too small and centred. The setting in preferences is A4
    When I ask the printer to print the TEST pages, i.e the 'Self Test Diagnostic Page' and 'Print Quality Diagnositcs Page' they are both perfect and the correct size.
    I am using an older version of Mac OS (10.4.....) but not had trouble before.
    Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

    Hi @migrations 
    If I am not mistaken, you need to increase the font size within the program you are printing from. Be sure not to increase the zoom, the font size needs to be larger for the print size to be increased.
    You may also see a scale to option, or fit to page, in the print preview, this might help too.

  • Anything printed with firefox prints too small

    anything printed with firefox prints too small. If I print and email it prints in the center top of the page and is just larger than a credit card. if I adjust the scale to 100% the it prints what could fit on one page onto 4 pages and prints a small portion in the center top of the page and is just larger than a credit card.

    Ok i think i fixed this issues.
    i went to about:config print.print_margin_bottom (and also left, right and top) and right clicked reset (it took out the previous 0.5 value). now the pages look normal on print preview without the large margin

  • Yosemite Apple Mail prints too small

    After Yosemite upgrade the body of text in Apple Mail messages prints extremely small. 2 Printers tested - HP Laserjet 5100tn and a Konica Minolta 5500 with a Fiery controller. Printing to a PDF file first is OK.
    This only seems to occur when I print messages that I've sent or when I print a message where someone has replied to a message that I sent previously. Only the body of the messages that I sent prints too small. The From, Subject, Date, To, My signature, and anything from messages that have been sent to me from someone else are all OK. In messages that were replies to me from messages that I sent to others, everything is OK except the body of the message that I originally sent to that individual.

    I have had this issue as well and have not really been able to resolve it. Yosemite Mail app doesn't seem to have the option that previous OS did where you could choose "Scale Message to Fit," "Rewrap Message to Fit," etc.
    Am I missing something here or did they disable this option?  I know I can change font or increase font size in preferences, but I don't really need to increase font size for display, only for printing, which seems to be very tiny no matter what I try to do.

    I posted this before and got some feedback and tried everything but it is not fixing the problem! I rewarded points to all the answers. I had basis increase roll area size, optimized code and did everything I can but I am still getting the same error "roll area too small". Same program works in 4.6C but in ECC6.0 I get this error! I have other programs that generates more than 10,000 pages in the spool but the program I am working on creates only 7700 pages! I  am not sure what else is changed in ECC6.0! Could someone please give me any ideas? rewards assured.
    thanks.

    Hello Mithun,
    Even i think increasing the roll area should have helped
    Are both the systems WIndows based  or is one unix based ?
    see this
    http://listserv.sap.com/pipermail/linux.general/2001-July/thread.html#670
    and search for "roll area too small" in the list of links
    it may help
    Also,
    in this solution, it says to use 'field groups'

  • I am having trouble printing 4x6, 1" bottle cap images, they are printing too small

    I have a new iMac and cannot get standard 1" bottlecap images to print to the correct size. They print slightly smaller than 1". They are printed on 4"x6" photo paper. I am selecting that size when I print. I also can print from photoshop. Thanks for any tips!

    It seems that, embarrasingly I was tripple checking everything for 4x6 prints but actually had 5x7 loaded in the printer!
    Thanks for helping the hopeless.

  • Print Too Small from Photoshop CS4 with HP 8500 All In One Printer

    I'm running Windows XP with CS4 and latest patches and drivers.  When I print an image to my HP 8500 All in one printer, the printout is too small.  Instead of a centered 4 x 6 image on the page I get a 1 x 1-1/4 inch small print of the image in the upper left hand corner.
    I re-installed CS3 and it works perfectly as do any other print options, such as word, etc.  But from Photoshop CS4 I can find no way to print to this printer without the image shrinking in size.  If I print to another printer at the same sitting, the image is fine.  So it's a PS CS4 vs. HP 8500 unique problem I guess.
    I've see this post in other forms and no help as yet.  Does anyone have this one on their radar.  I really like this printer, but it's quite annoying.
    By the way, If I print to a PDF from PS CS4, the pdf file image is fine.  That's another end around for printing also. HMMMM.
    I did contact HP and they put the problem squarely back on Adobe.  No partnership there.
    Thanks,
    Glen

    Will the printer print from any app?
    I know it sounds like a dumb question, but you didn't actually say...  And I admit to looking for software problems on an occasion or two when I had forgotten to plug in cables.

  • Printing too small

    Hi all.
    My printer that is connected to my AE (cannon pixma 4000) is printing everything too small. This is all documents in Word and images in Photoshop. I preview before printing go into every dialogue box available and make sure they are set correctly and still it is coming up too small. I hate having to save everything and open it on the PC to get it to print properly.
    This is a recent thing that happened as it was printing the correct size before.
    Any ideas folks?
    Thanks Alison.

    Hi Ish2,
    Have you tried shutting down the computer (not a restart) and then doing a Hard Reset on the printer as described in the next link.  Click Here  After powering up the computer, is there any difference?
    If you do a Print Preview, does the page appear as it should?
    What is the scale set on?
    If you click on Print from the Print Preview window, does that make a difference?
    Also, remember a click on the Kudos star to the left is a quick "Thanks" for a helpful post.

  • Prints as a postage stamp when should be normal size!

    The first page prints normal size, then each subsequent page is the size of a postage stamp.  I am using Reader 9.4.1.  Can anyone help me out?
    Jon

    Possibly the printer driver is doing a misinterpretation of data it gets from Reader.
    Try the option "print as image" under Print > Advanced.

  • How can I get text printed out larger? It prints too small to read.

    I have an hp psc 1610 all-in-one printer. When I print articles from the internet the text is too small. The options to change size only seem to affect the screen size, not the printer size. It prints fine in my word processor, etc.

    File > Page Setup > '''Scale''' <br />
    100% or Shrink to Fit is usually the best.
