Printing Margins in Safari

Every time I print anything in Safari (4 or 5). there are zero margins and it doesn't print whatever is on the edge. It does this with every page I print, with all three printers (Epson, HP and Brother). Surely there's a way to adjust this but I can't find it.
There is no "shrink to fit" option in the printer dialogue boxes.

HI Derek,
If you haven't tried printing to PDF format...
From the Safari Menu Bar click File/Print - Save as PDF
Now open that .PDF file. From the Menu Bar (top of your screen) click File/Print.
That way you have the margins....

  • Printing Margins - Reset Safari Library?

    I am having a problem printing documents from safari, from only 1 of my accounts on my macbook. The guest account has no problems printing.
    The problem is the same regardless what printer I print to. When told to print safari will format the document to fill the entire page. Creating a custom size paper with custom margins doesn't correct the problem either. When printing pages, safari formats the page to print larger than the margins the printer can physically print to (unless set up to print borderless). Also, printing to pdf produces a document that is formatted to outermost margins of the document.
    Is it possible to reset safari to a like new state? I've tried going Safari -> Reset Safari, with no improvement. I don't want to create a new user account, there must be a way to reset it.
    Thanks in advance!

    Ok, I had the same problem where the left margin was clipped off and literally spent hours trying to fix it.
    I found a solution that worked for me so I registered for this Forum expressly to post the fix.
    It's simple, but not intuitive.
    From *within Safari* choose "File-->Print." Then select the "Paper Size" drop-down option and choose "Manage Custom Sizes."
    Use the "+" sign to create a new template.
    Double-click on the name of the template "Untitled" and type in a name of your choosing, such as "US Letter for Safari" and hit "return" to save the name.
    For "Paper Size" type in "8.5 in" for width and "11 in" for height.
    For "Non-Printable Area" select "User Defined."
    Then input your Top, Bottom, Left, and Right margin settings.
    I input the following:
    -Top and Right: .25"
    -Bottom: .5"
    -Left: .35"
    Then hit "OK" and quit Safari.
    Then go to "System Preferences -->Print and Fax" and then select your printer from the menu on the left side.
    Once you do that, you should see a drop-down tab in the lower-middle section of the screen that says, "Default Paper Size."
    Select the paper size that you just created in Safari and quit System Preferences.
    Then open Safari and print a test page.
    What's really odd is that you DO NOT need to select the Paper Size on the "Print" screen menu. For me, it still defaults to "Letter," but it actually prints the margin sizes that I set for my Custom paper size.
    I hope this saves at least one person all the frustration that I went through looking for a fix!

  • How do I adjust print margins in Safari

    Hello
    I am trying to print out multiple forms via Safari for printing onto removable sticky  address labels.  I cant seem to adjust the print setting to align the text with the label.  I need to set margins to do this.  I have tried adjusting the printable area via the manage custom sizes but this doesn't seem to work.  All my efforts still result in the printer printing will very narrow margin and my text doesn't align with the labels.
    I am worried the I might create a world shortage of ink in my attempts to work out what's wrong.  Please help.
    I am printing shipping labels in eBay using the Seller manager pro package .
    I am using an OKI C531 LED Printer
    Many thanks

    I am using Snow Leopard and I don't really see a +shrink to fit+ option.
    Using Safari (This also happens with Firefox and Opera), when I do the ⌘P, I get the following dialog:
    [Print Dialog 1|https://files.me.com/w1jp/udykuc]
    The only option I see to scale is either putting some number in the +Scale box+ or on the +Paper Handling+ dialog:
    [Print Dialog 2|https://files.me.com/w1jp/uwm676]
    Selecting +Scale to fit paper size+ didn't fix the problem either.
    It's like the margins aren't working for this printer when printing web pages. All the other applications (non-browser) print correctly.

  • Unable To Set Custom Print Margins In Safari 5.0.2

    Help Please!!
    I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to change the "default" margins Safari uses when printing. I have selected different print drivers, added custom paper sizes, even changed monitor resolution – all to no avail. I am trying to format some web content for letter size printing and it looks as though I will have to give in to the quarter-inch top, left, right and half-inch bottom margins Safari so persistently imposes.
    I am hoping there is at least one other out there who has fretted over this issue as I have. Any insight you can provide is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Thank you for the quick response!
    Firefox does seem to have a much more reliable printing engine. Unfortunately, I am using a number of webkit CSS attributes available only within Safari. Gradients being one of these. Perhaps it's time to give up on them and simply render these custom layout elements as images... It's a pity really! Webkit delivers some very promising new technology for cross-media content delivery, yet without reliable print/pdf output control, these technologies and techniques are essentially useless.
    I did leave feedback on this issue. Perhaps Apple will come up with a solution before I am forced to rebuild. .I most certainly would appreciate additional ideas and suggestions.
    Thanks again

  • 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??

  • HT3771 How do I adjust print margins when printing from Safari?

    When I try to print email from Safari, my messages go all the way to the edge of the paper and get cut off. I can't find any page set up adjustments for margins when in Safari, like I can in other software (Word, Excel, etc.).  All I can find are page size, orientation, etc.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're all users here.
    Let me hazard a wild guess that you're using Outlook, formerly Hotmail, for email in your web browser.
    When the forced 'downgrade' from Hotmail to Outlook occurred, they decided to hide some frequently used commands and made simple message printing from a browser print command nearly impossible, at least for Mac users.
    The trick is to use the Print command now hidden within the Outlook menu bar.
    It's in the "..." section of the Outlook top menu bar following Categories along with "Mark Read, Mark Unread, Flag, Unflag, and View Message Source".
    Select Print from there, it will open a new Outlook Print Message window. You should once again be able to print emails in their entirety.

  • 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.

  • Printing problems with Safari 5.0.3

    I just bought a new HP LaserJet Pro M1536dnf Multifunction Printer to allow me to use AirPrint on my iPad and iPhone. But now I have a problem with printing Web pages from the Safari 5.0.3 browser on my Windows Vista PC to the printer over my network. The printer does not print any type or graphics on the page although it does output several nearly blank pages each time I try to print. The only mark on the pages is a faint thin gray line at the bottom of each page.
    Safari is the only program where this problem occurs. The printer works correctly with Internet Explorer, Outlook, and Word. I did not have this problem with my previous HP printer.
    The M1536dnf also prints correctly from the Safari browser on my iPad through AirPrint.
    I also tried printing in Safari on a Windows 7 laptop on the network and had the same problem.
    Any suggestions?

    I reloaded the HP drivers. But that didn't fix the problem. Because the problem is only with Safari in Windows and not Internet Explorer (nor any other Windows applications), it seems to me to be a Safari problem rather than a problem with the printer. On the other hand, Safari for Windows printed correctly on my previous HP LaserJet 1022nw and its driver. I've contacted HP and they want to lay the blame on Apple. I have reported the problem to Apple as well and have heard nothing. Once again, after paying hundreds of dollars on new equipment to be able to print from my iPad and iPhone, the user is left to fend for himself. Others seem to be having this problem. Perhaps, Apple and HP might consider working together to the benefit of the customer.
    (One bright spot: the 1536 does print from the Safari browsers on the iPad and the iPhone.)

  • I use a HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a printer and my Safari always put 150% size as default. Wy not 100%?

    I have a MacBook (the white one) and use a HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a printer and my Safari always put 150% size as default. Wy not 100%?
    When I use Firefox the default size is 100%. When I use Pages, also runs good (100%). Only in Safari, and Mail too, appears 150% as the default size.
    How can I change it to 100% in both?
    THOMAS

    Hi,
    The problem seems to lie in the installer, which has an unusual bad behaviour.  The installer puts the 8500 a909a in the list of USB  bootable devices.  (Not good!!!)
    When the printer is disconnected it isn't a problem.  When the printer is connected the computer tries to boot from the printer and the computer hangs.
    When I found the printer in the BIOS list of USB bootable devices I DISABLED that item in that list. Then it booted normally.
    But now the BIOS takes an extra 30 seconds or so but boot up seems to be preceeding normally.
    The guys on the CHAT and PHONE lines didn't even imagine the installer might be a problem so their advice was useless. They were blaming the computer.  More importanly, they didn't have a way to escalate the problem. They  had no capacity to respond in a flexible manner. It was like dealing with unhelpful staff in the county clerk's office.

  • 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.

  • How do I set the default print margins for ALL printers in mozilla.cfg

    How do I set the default print margins for ALL printers in mozilla.cfg, even ones that are not yet installed / connected to the computer?
    I'm trying to install firefox with MDT and apply certain print options, but the printers themselves are connected at a later stage so the print.printer_myprinterhere cannot be used.

    Best answer I could find: [https://mike.kaply.com/2012/03/16/customizing-firefox-autoconfig-files/#comment-132668]
    If you can figure out how to add the printer name, this can be used to lock the margins.

  • 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!

    PrintingMargins_code.JPG ‏22 KB

    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.

  • How to get Acrobat print dialog in Safari

    I am asking this question here as well as in the Win forum as I do not know if it is a Win ony issue:
    When IE or Firefox is displaying a .pdf the browser print button, file/print and ctrl-p take you to the Acrobat Reader print dialog and the .pdf itself is previewed and printed. In Safari Win they take you to the browser print dialog and a blank page is previwed and printed. Given the futility of telling users to use the Acrobat print button instead of the browser print button or File/Print, is there anything I can do with the .pdf to get this to work under Safari?

    hi all,
    thank you for replying. i got rid of the print dialog box by filling in defaults->spool control->output device in the user profile->own data. And i just set the following in my code:
      ltp_control_parameters-no_dialog = 'X'.
      ltp_control_parameters-preview = 'X'.
    And also previously i mistakenly reset ltp_control_parameters-preview to 'LOCL' (refer to my previous post).

  • How do I change the print margins in firefox 4.0 in ubuntu?

    When I upgraded to Natty (Ubuntu 11.4), I was automatically upgraded from firefox 3.6.x to 4.0.x
    I want to change the print margins, however when I go to File > Page Setup, it only gives me options for changing the paper size and orientation. There is no longer any sort of tab or option for margins, header & footer, etc.
    Am I missing something or is firefox?

    Try this:
    EDIT:
    * Goto about:config
    * Look for print.printer_<PRINTERNAME>.print_margin
    * change those to what you want :D
    * Restart the browser.

  • 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)
