Printing Margin problem

First of all, it's the first time I post here and I'll thank you for your help
I'm under Mac OSX Snow Leopard and Acrobat Pro 9.
When I've a pdf without any margin, if I print this document, I have the normal margin of the printer on 3 sides and on 1 I've a very big margin, around 1 cm !
It's a very big problem if I want to make a recto/verso document!
It's not a problem of the printer, because I use a NRG MPC 2800 and I find the same problem on a black laser printer for desktop (Brother).
I think there's a problem with Acrobat 9 and Snow Leopard. I've nothing found on Internet and I need a solution.
If I print directly from InDesign, there's no problem. It's only with a pdf file.
Please help me !
After any test, I've see that if I print the pdf from a PC under Win XP, there's no problem. It's only with the Mac.
Thank you for your help.

I've already tried the setup you show me without any results.
To give a better idea of my problem, I post here the original file in acrobat, and the second is the file printed and scanned to put here. As you can see, the margin is on the bottom...
As you can see, I've also try to change the setup in paper management, to choose the A4 format. Once again without any results...

PSE 7 Print Margin Problem

Operating system is Windows 7 64bit. I am printing to a HP 1600 series inkjet and/or a Brother 2170 wireless printer. When I attempt to print in landscape mode, the right hand margin changes from whatever was set to 2.5" and truncates whatever is being printed from PSE 7. When I select page setup from PSE 7, the margin settings are greyed out and can't be changed. Assistance would be appreciated. Thx, TL

Dear Biker,
Thanks for your email. Since receiving it this morning, I have received the following advice from HP Support and although I appreciate it's not your exact problem, maybe some of it will help.
I note that they suggest adding a Generic Drive for a Deskjet 990c model (even though mine's a Photosmart C46800) but later they mention my model so I suppose you need the 990c drive to make it all work.
One of the other replies I got from the forum was one which said, 'never buy an H.P'. In fact, I'm so worried that H.P's advice will either cock-up my computer completely or change the way it prints 'Word' documents (currently O.K.) that maybe I'll buy a decent one.. Anyway, here's what H.P advised:
STEP 1 Add Generic Driver 990c
1. Click 'Start
2 Click Printers and Faxes'
3 In Printer folder, click 'Add a printer' icon
4 Click Next
5 Select 'Local' and remove the check mark from 'Automaticallhy detect and install my Plug and Play printer
6 Click 'Next'
7 Click 'Next'
8 Select HP from Manufacturer list
9 Select the printer modeol as HP DeskJet 990c from the printer list, and then click Next
10. Select Yes to make this printer the default printer and Click Next to continue
11. Select No to skip the test page and then click Next
12 Click finish to complete the installation.
STEP 2 Configure the port
1 Click Start, then Printers and Faxes
2. Right click on HP Photosmart C4680 All in one printer icon and then selct Properties
3 Select the Ports tab and then check which port is selected from the list of ports. Make a note of the port that is selected
4 Close Window
5 Right click on the HP Deskject 990c printed icon you have installed, then select the ports tab. Select the same port that was selected for the HP Photosmart C4680 printer icon
6 Cick Apply and the OK

Officejet 4630 printing margins problem

Hi there-
I just purchased an Officejet 4630 and have had some immediate printing issues come up.
The main issue I've found is that the margins for printing at the top and bottom of letter-sized pages seem to get cut off when at 100% scale.
I've uninstalled and re-installed the printer with the correct driver, but none of this seems to solve the issue.
I've used both preview and excel to try and print and they both have the same problem. It seems the only way I can get the entire image to print is to shrink down the scale, but I do not want to do this as I'm trying to maximize printing space, which is vital for my business printing needs.
Do you have any solution to this problem? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi @el_jefe,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that the margins for printing at the top and bottom of letter-sized pages seem to get cut off when at 100% scale. When printing with your HP Officejet 4630.
Please try the following:
Reset the printing system. OS X Yosemite: Reset the printing system.
Verify and repair disk permissions. Disk Utility 12.x: Repair disk permissions.
Otherwise, it could just be a setting within the Microsoft Office Suite that needs to be changed. I would suggest also contacting Microsoft Office Support for assistance, or consider trying another Office Suite such as OpenOffice, or LibreOffice, and see if they do the same thing.
Hope this information helps!

Print margin problem

Hi,
CS3 / XP Home. I am trying to print a 7 by 10 in image using my old Canon BJ200 printer. On Page Setup the right margin always default to 2.5 in,despite repeatly input to defferent numbers. I've lowered the image to 300dpi with no effect on print setting.What can I do?
Peter

Yeah,I have one success by cutting the image to about 9 by 6 and it print out ok. And it does not default to 2.5 in right margin. But that's just one time success. The next try it does the samething again.The printer properties is set at "letter" "360 dpi"

Problem with Printer Margins

I am working from a Dell Optiplex 755 with Windows XP, Illustrator CS2, Acrobat 8 Pro and an HP 4345 printer.
The problem is summarized in the below paragraphed points:
We print on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper, with artwork sized for 8.5 x 11 exactly. The artwork contains 4 quarter page images to be cut into flyers, which each have 1/4" margins all the way around them. There is a back side as well, created with the same specifications. We wish to print these flyers duplex from high quality PDF files that we created in Illustrator.
When the print comes out, the right hand margin of the sheet is larger than the top, bottom, and left margins.
The top, bottom, left margins= 0.166"; this doesn't effect the top, bottom, and left sides of the artwork, as the .25" margin we setup on the artwork is greater than the .166" margin of the print area.
However, the right hand margin= 0.306"; this means that the right side of the artwork gets cut off by .056" (.306-.25")
In order to fit all of the artwork on the page, we can either shift the Page Tiling Print Area over slightly, or we can select the print option "Shrink to Fit". However this is a problem because we are printing the two sides as a duplex (printed both sides), and the tiled artwork on the front won't line up what is printed on the back because of the larger right margin. Therefore if the sides don't line up when we go to cut, the information is going to be cut off on the opposite side to the one we are cutting.
The printer setting for 8.5x11" paper "Letter" is what we believe to be creating the offset margin. (We checked the specifications for a Letter print, and the standard margins were identical to the ones we see exhibited in the print outs, 0.166" vs. 0.306")
We understand that there might be a way to set up your own custom print setting through Adobe Acrobat/ Photoshop/ Illustrator for a specfic type of print job, allowing you to control the print margins, but we are not familiar with the process.
Can you think of any other possible causes and/or solutions for the problems that are described?

As is detailed above, I am working with Illustrator CS2. The graphic is setup on an 8.5x11" artboard with guides set to have a 1/4" margin on all sides.
To create the PDF file, I just do a Save As>Adobe PDF through Illustrator. So to answer your question, no, I do not have Adobe PDF selected as the printer. I have the HP 4345 printer selected and set to 'Letter' for printing on 8.5x11" page.

Printing - Terrible Margin Problem

I have read all of the posts regarding margin problems.
Ill tried creating the custom 'iCal' size in Safari but nothing works.
When printing in week view all 4 margins spill over the edge.
This occurs whether printing to paper or PDF.
Any fixes to this or is it a bug?
PowerBook Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Hi,
While playing with the values of ImageableArea I'm getting changes in printout
but can't really find the correct combination of values because I'm just guessing
what the values mean..ImageableArea provides the bounding box of the area in which the printer may print for the page size named mediaOption. There will be one statement for each named page size supported by the device. DefaultImageableArea provides the mediaOption name of the default imageable area. Since there can be only one default page size, this value should be the same as the value of DefaultPageSize, DefaultPageRegion, and DefaultPaperDimension.
The syntax for defining imageable area is as follows:
*ImageableArea mediaOption: "llx lly urx ury"
*DefaultImageableArea: mediaOption | Unknown
ll stands for lower left corner and ur for upper right corner. The bounding box value of ImageableArea is given as four real numbers, representing the x and y coordinates of the lower left and upper right corners of the region, respectively, in the PostScript language default user space coordinate system. The x and y axes of a given page size correspond to the x and y axes of that page size in the PaperDimension entry.

Printer Driver Problem? Page margins shift when using paper tray vs. manual feed

I am printing to an Apple LaserWriter 12/640 PS. The printed page and page margins are PERFECT (WYSIWYG; "What you see is what you get") when printing either to: (a) the MANUAL FEED TRAY of the Apple LaserWriter 12/640 PS; or (b) PDF to view on screen.
HOWEVER, when printing to the LaserWriter using the (ordinary/usual) paper cassette (you know, the thing that holds the 200+ sheeets of blank paper), two margin problems occur: (1) the uppermost portion of page content is shifted down 3/4" (maybe closer to 11/16") vs. its position on the manually fed paper. This, in turn, causes the botttom portion of the page content to run off below the printed page. (2) The "unprintable region" on the right edge of the paper expands from 1/8" with the manually fed paper to 7/16" when using the paper cassette. This shows up as an extra 5/16" (7/16" - 1/8" = 5/16") of white space/missing page content on the right edge.
The problem is consistent and reproduceable. It happens with cassette fed output from Safari, Word 2011, Acrobat X, TurboTax, Quicken Essentials for Mac, and TextEdit.
BIG problem when printing long documents whose content and margin settings I cannot control (e.g., third-party documents from Acrobat, anything from Quicken Essentials or TurboTax, pages from Safari, etc.). The only workaround is to feed everything manually (UGGH!).
I suspect the printer driver is faulty since the problem detailed above happens with so many applications. Is there a way to edit a plist (using the application/utility "Pref Setter" or similar) to overide the driver's margin settings?
I believe the print driver is "Apple LaserWriter 12/640 PS v2015.105" (from Sytem Prefences->Print&Scan->Options and Supplies->Driver).
Any help greatly appreceated.

Thanks! It works perfectly! I even saved my original "oversize" document by printing it to PDF with the scaling so the problem is permanently cured, at least for this document.

Officejet 6700 margin problems printing from Mac

I recently purchased and setup a new HP 6700 all in one wireless printer and have a problem that I can't seem to solve or find a solution for. Printing from my Mac's leaves margins cutting the top and bottom off of documents. I've printed the same documents from a PC at work without problem but opening and printing on this printer seems to cut off margins. I can't find a margin setting to adjust nor should I need to with a default print setting. I've updated the latest HP print drivers and firmware with no luck.
Thanks in advance.

I just found this post and hope I am not too late to pursue this further.
I have an HP OfficeJet 6700 Premium Wireless Color e-All-In-One Inkjet Printer. My operating system is Macintosh OS X 10.9.3 Mavericks.
I have been having this problem for quite sometime and would love to get an explanation, or directions to fix the problem.
I clicked on the link 'HP Officejet 6600 e-All-in-One and 6700 Premium e-All-in-One Printer Series (H711) Product Specifica...' and saw that the acceptable Top and Bottom print margins for a Mac are .13" and .47" respectively.
Whether I am in Microsoft Word for Mac 2011 (latest version) or in Preview (latest version), I cannot print a document with a Top margin of less than .5".
I created some documents in 2013 that were printed on this printer and they came out with no problems.
In January of this year, I bought my current Mac, and now I cannot print any of those documents unless I increase the Top margin to '5". Thinking it might be the HP driver, I downloaded and upgraded to the latest version of the driver, and still the problem persists.
I originally was blaming the problem on Microsoft Word, but that does not make sense since the problem also occurs with Preview.
Your help would be appreciated.

Margin problem when printing with canon printer

When I try to print a pages document on my canon pixma ip4500 printer (which they sold me at the apple store when i bought the laptop), the bottom margin does not appear. There is a space only about half an inch under the last line of text. Everything looks fine on the screen, but i cant get to print it with a bottom margin. and i don't even know how to set it manually...
ps, the printer isnt set for a 8 1/2 by 14 sheet, it really is for a 8 1/2 by 11
Help me please!

That’s going to depend on what the document consists of. If it’s a single element such as a graphic or PDF, reduce the size. If it’s text, you can use a smaller point size, slightly reduce paragraph spacing, make a headline smaller, etc. If it’s text and graphic, reduce the size of the graphic(s) a little. But first, set your document margins to agree with your printer margins.

How to set printer margins if using a lot of printers in virtual desktops which are deleted each time users logs off

Hello,
i am using Firefox version 31. I have a problem with page setup margins. I need to use left
30mm; right 10mm; top 20mm; bottom 20mm. I am using VMware floating assignemnt linked clones
virtual desktops. After users log off - machines are deleted and users next time logs on get's brand
new VDI's. Users gets printers to VDI using login script from Active Directory.
Option Explicit
Dim strPrinterUNC, objNetwork
strPrinterUNC = "\\some_server\printer_number_1"
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection strPrinterUNC
WScript.Sleep (20000)
objNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter strPrinterUNC
Set objNetwork = Nothing
Each user have different logon script, because they use different printers (different printer names e.g. \\some_server\printer_number_2 ; \\some_server\printer_number_3 and etc. Page setup margins in Internet Explorer are ok. But how to make Firefox page setup margins as i need? For other options i have
used CCK2 Wizard 2.0.4 tool. It worked fine. Maybe i can put some information in C:\Program
Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\autoconfig.js I have some usefull data in it allready. I
have found info that: "Setting print margins is done in the printer settings". I have a lot of
printers, so i can not set printer margins individualy for each of them. Now mozilla shows top,
bottom, right, left each 12.7 mm. What should i do if i have a lot of printers in enterprise
environment?

Firefox has a profile folder that has preferences to save this. But the config that would need to be changed is:
print. save_print_settings = True - (default): Save the print settings after each print job
Locking that preference: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences]
Or done manually:
#In order to check the margins, we need to go to ''File'' > ''Page Setup''.
#Once this is done, switch to the ''Margins & Header/Footer'' tab.
#Check what's set there under ''Margins''.
The following are the default values for ''Margins'':
Check these values accordingly and change them if necessary.

How can I set printing margins of report?

Hello,
I am trying to print programmatically a portrait of a JPEG image that has been created by a Front Panel.
I print it by creating a Standard Report.
While the JPEG image is fine, the printed image is compressed at the long edges. So, the printed image is a little bit distorted.
I change the Printing:Margins Property of the vi at the First Call of the vi, but the result is the same.
On the other hand, if I open the JPEG image with a program like Picasa and print it, the printing image is not compressed/distorted.
I attach an image of the code that is used to print the JPEG and an image that shows the Printing:Margins Property.
How can I print it correctly via LabVIEW?
Solved!

Hello,
I tried the solutions that you proposed and I have the following results:
1. The solution to print the Front Panel through the invoke node of the vi's reference is not ideal, because the desirable printer cannot be chosen.
2. I cannot use the Word Report because I have not the Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office.
3. I used the HTML Report and I change the print settigns by modifying the registry keys in the following folder:
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PageSetup"
I can change the margin_bottom, margin_left, margin_right, margin_top, Shrink_To_Fit and assign the values 0,0,0,0,no to them.
The result in the printing image is obvious. It is no longer compressed and it is positioned almost according to the margins. Although all margins are set to 0, it has to be positioned 2cm more at left and about 2cm higher to be proper.
But the footer and header registry keys even if they are deleted (I cannot assign empty string from command line), they are appeared in the printed page.
I attach the new vi files that modify the registry keys of the above folder before printing and restore them after printing.
Also, the Front Panel size of the Report.vi has been changed and set equal to the A4 paper size 21x29cm and a little bit bigger in order not to print the decoration border.
So, the problem of proper printing of HTML report remains having only to remove the footer & header and understand why the printing image is not positioned at full left and full top even if the registry keys margin_left and margin_top are 0 and 0.
On the other hand, if the vi's Front Panel JPEG image is printed from a Photo-program, it is printed correctly given that the margins are set to 0 and the "Scale" option has been disabled.
Thank you very much for your help.
I am looking forward to hearing from you if it is possible.

HP 2600n's margin problem with driver 2.3

After installing the new driver v2.3, my printer started to have a margin problem. Even if I setup any margin correctly (on any software...) the page printed has borders cut off and it is shifted on the left (or, left margin is less than the right). Obviously, this problem was found with files that previously were printed correctly.
Only by reducing by more than one cm margins, the print is not cut, but the page continues to be shifted to the left.
Any help?
Thanks.

Try downloading and re-installing the Snow Leopard drivers and seeing if that fixes anything.

Mail 2.1 - Printer margins

We recently switched from Eudora to Apples Mail app (version 2.1). The first problem we have yet to solve is that of the overly large print margins at the top and bottom of each page when printed. The margins are close to 1-1/4 inches (3.2 cm).
There appears to be no user defined settings that we can find via Page set up.
We are using standard US letter paper size. All other applications print fine (i.e approx 1/2 inch margins). This happens regardless of what printer we choose, including PDF)
Is there anyway to control the size of the margins for the the standard paper sizes which print perfectly in ALL other applications, other than Mail?
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Any ideas? Anyone?

Print margin

I noticed that everytime I print in Mail, the gap on the top margin is almost 2 1/2 inches. Is it just me or is this a common problem for everyone. I tried setting the print margins manually, but still to no avail. Is this problem fixable or do I just have to live with it? It's not that bad, but emails look really weird with the big gap for the top margin.
Thanks

I'm having the same issue. Does anyone know how to control the print margins in Mail.app? Selecting custom margins in the print dialogue box does not work at all.

Did anyone notice: Safari completely ignores printer margins

Hi,
I'm trying to print some labels through Safari. My printer driver works fine. All I have to do is adjust the printer margins in Safari.
I'm creating a new custom size and add the margin default values of my label printer (0,2 cm). I can save the settings without problems but neither the preview on the left nor the printed labels show any changes in the margins. Safari completely ignores custom margin settings and keeps it's default settings when printing.
I've tried all day googling for a solution, but there is none. My question: has anyone experienced the same issue? Is there any sort of bugfix? I'm sure it has nothing to do with my printer. I can create a PDF with the same margin problems...
HELP PLEASE!

Cheers,
this is how I tried so far:
1) Open website
2) CMD+P opens print dialogue
3) Select custom paper size (in my case 2.9cm x 8.98 cm)
3a) Within the custom paper size dialogue I can select default margins for my printer or set my own (I tried both without difference)
4) OK
5) The preview on the left does NOT change the margins. Also the PDF preview and the printed result look exactly the same. The margins stay the same throughout.
Here is a screenshot:

Maybe that helps!? I don't know what to do anymore... Does the margin adjustment work fine for you??
