Printing on 4x6 paper from LR's print module?

I'm trying to print a set of photos on 4x6 photo paper but the prints come out on the 8x11 paper sheets of my HP Photosmart 7520 printer. I've read all the forums on that topic and my settings are correct. The preview displays the images in the correct format, yet when I print, it comes out at the bottom right-hand corner of a full sheet of paper.
I don't have that problem in Photoshop nor in Mac's preview (which is what I've had to default to doing). I use a MacBook Pro.
Again, it works fine everywhere else, except when printing from LR5 itself. Judging from entries in the forums, this appears to be a problem, but I've not seen a solution listed. Help?!
Thanks in advance,
Michele

In the print module, go to page setup (bottom left of screen), and when the printer setup screen pops up.  Set it for 4X6 as you would for Preview.  You will see the new size reflected on the main preview window.  Adjust the borders and size on the right panel, and choose print one.  Should work.

  • MX 925 - how to force the printer to use paper from lower tray

    Hi' there,
    Several people seems to have the problem, that the printer "wants" to print from the upper tray, - I assume it's because it want's photo paper. Is it possible to FORCE the printer to use paper from the lower tray, when e.g. you have no photo paper, receive the error message, and just want to see the print?
    :-) Sogge

    I found a methoid that while clumsy, works. I have defined another printer on my windows machine that points to the same
    printer as my original printer defination. I have named this printer "Legal" and has defined legal paper as it's default. When
    I print to this printer( DECTYPE, DECNAME) it now defaults to legal.

    Not sure about CR 8, can you create another printer (same printer, but different name), set that printer to default to tray 2, then send the report to the Tray2 printer name and see what happens.  (Not an elegant fix, but....)

  • Can't print photos from iPhoto on 4X6" paper from HP 5180 All in One

    Prior to Leopard using iPhoto, I had to select the 4x6 paper in the 5180 to get to that paper. Otherwise, it would print to the letter sized paper. Now it will only print with the large paper.

    My Mistake!  It is an 8610 All-in-One. (The 6000 series was our old one.) Sorry.

  • Photos in iPhoto don't print on 4x6 paper

    I have tried printing pictures from iPhoto to my Canon MP980 printer and the picutre is printing half of the picture (almost like it is set to print a 4x6 picture on an 8.5x11 piece of paper). I have changed the printer settings numerous times to 4x6 borderless and always double check before printing. I have even dragged it to my desktop and tried printing using preview and got the same result. I have changed the physical settings on my printer to make the default 4x6 but nothing seems to work (I even tried changing from landscape to portrait which only resulted in getting a little more picture printed).

    Give this a try: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    A long shot but if it works will be quicker.

  • Cropping a photo to print on 4X6 paper, printing on paper and other issues.

    Good morning everyone,
    I have a Canon PIXMA MP830 and a Powerbook G4 running iPhoto 4.03
    I just got the printer and was trying to print some pictures from iPhoto last week using 4X6 paper. I tried selecting paper size in the advanced features before printing. However, when I previewed in Preview, the picture was in the middle of the preview screen and when I hit print, only the upper quarter corner of the picture printed on only part of the paper.
    I found on this forum that I need to try cropping the pictures first. How do I know that they are cropped to 4X6? I guess what I mean is, I don't want to cut anything out of the picture itself. If I crop, won't I have to take part of the "field of view" from my pictures? Also, even if I could do that to print it, how do I make sure that I can retrieve the original picture.
    In the past, I have wanted to crop just someone's face. To do this I made a duplicate of the picture and then played with the duplicate so as to not lose my original. Is this the way to do it???
    Thank you to everyone for helping me so much in the past and this time as well.
    Sincerely ,
    Jenn

    hi Jennifer
    in your preview window, do you have a box where you can check. it should say "center image".
    cropping is not required prior to printing. you only need to crop if you are trying to isolate a area of the image. if you like the picture the way it is all you need to do is resize the image itself. either larger or smaller. anyone that tells me that i have to crop before printing i will guarantee to ignore.
    i have been printing for a number of years, sometimes as a business i know what i am doing.
    i save the images onto CDs before i begin editing. i edit the originals.

  • Error 88 or Support Code 88 in Canon Driver printing on art paper from Lightroom

    Re: Error 88 (Support Code 88) of Canon Printer Driver, using Pixma Pro9500 - April 20, 2014
    I'm replying to myself from two years ago, and to the rest of you, regarding Error 88.  (My question of April 2012 is in the Photoshop department of Adobe Community.  For those who don't know but are reading this anyway for some reason, Error 88 is a message from the Canon Printer Driver that tells you you haven't set the paper size correctly for printing on fine-art paper.  But it may appear anyway, even if your settings are correct.)
    At the time I found no resolution to the problem, just a workaround: to print from Lightroom itself. Too bad this was after months of hassle and expense, including a probably fraudulent (and certainly useless) repair (supposedly replacing the Pixma's logic board and paper sensor), and the ministrations of a techie who could only conclude there was something wrong with my copy of Photoshop which provoked the Error 88. But he made me realise I could print from Lightroom, and that's what I've been doing ever since.  (The possibility had never occurred to me, as my routine of printing from Photoshop was working fine.)  This has been a good move after all, since Lightroom offers many advantages over PS where printing is concerned:  tonal controls and more in Develop, and the possibility of creating a Saved Print.
    But to print from Lightroom, I had to crop my printing files to the image. (In PS I had always created a document the same size as the paper I planned to use – A4 or A3+ – and positioned the image where I wanted, with margins all around. But in Lightroom I set margins and position in Print Mode, starting with a borderless file.) This was a bit of work, but unavoidable, and a good thing on the whole. So for a couple of years I printed in this way.
    But meanwhile, my 2009 iMac was developing other problems, and finally I had to replace it. (After only two or three years of use, it was shutting down spontaneously, a problem no one was able to resolve, about which every techie has a different opinion, and about which Apple is completely mute and unresponsive; thank you Apple Computer for your supposedly ultra-reliable products – I can only say it’s a good thing you don’t make pacemakers).
    So for about ten weeks now I have a nice shiny new 2013 iMac, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed. Also I have the new OS Mavericks, new versions of Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 5, the new Canon Driver. I have my complaints about the OS (particularly a few interface/viewing design choices that strike me as colossally stupid and unnecessary), but that's beside the point here.
    Having not yet printed with the new setup (nor for a few months before), and knowing that it's good to use your Pixma now and then, I thought I'd dedicate a few hours to printing. I figured it could work out easy, since I planned to print from Saved Prints. But as soon as I hooked it all up, checked my settings, and clicked Print, I see the printer icon bouncing in the Dock with its little yellow trouble flag. I check that out and am very dismayed to see my old nemesis, Error 88, which tells me I haven't set the paper size correctly. But it's correct, of course. (As before, I'm printing on fine art paper, A3+.) Beg your pardon, Canon now calls it "Support Code 88", thinking of all the Support you'll get from them.
    I tried a few of the obvious things: start/restart computer, printer, Lightroom, etc., but to no avail. Also, supposing that my Saved Prints were perhaps no longer valid in the new LR, I tried to print directly from the file, bypassing the Saved Print, but no go.
    I should also note that, in Page Setup, the Default paper size “Super B/A3” (330x483mm) was new to me – seems to me you could set “A3+ Art Margins”. A3+ as I know it from the fine-art papers I use is 329x483mm anyway (also as given in Page Setup), if that makes any difference.
    If it's any use, here are some particulars on the current situation:
    iMac 27”, late 2013, 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB, Mac OSX 10.9.2
    Lightroom 5.3 (Camera RAW 8.3)
    Photoshop CS6 (version 13.0 x64)
    Canon PrinterDriver_Pro9500 series_108420 (10.84.2.0)
    And my settings:  LR Page Setup: set “Art A3+ (Margin 35)”System Prefs/Printers & Scanners – set Default paper size “Super B/A3” (330x483mm) (found via “Format For:” in Page Setup)LR Print Settings:
    Printer: Canon Pro9500 series (exclamation point – not recognized?)
    Presets: Last Used Settings
    Color Matching: Canon
    Paper Handling: All Pages – Automatic – NO “Scale to fit paper size” (but “Destination Paper Size, though grayed out, reads “Suggested Paper: Art A3+ (Margin 35”)
    Quality & Media: Media Type: Fine Art “Photo Rag” (or “FA Museum Etching” or “FA Matte”); Paper Source: Front Tray; Print Quality: High; YES Grayscale Printing
    Color Options:
    Color Mode: Standard; C-M-Y and Tone all left at zero
    Brightness: Normal; Intensity and Contrast both left at zero
    It all looks kosher to me.  Does anybody know anything about this problem? I'll be very grateful.

  • Print with 4x6" paper??

    Hi folks - using the print module for the first time... I have 4x6" photo paper and I load it into my HP LaserJet P1102w correctly - but - I fail to see in the Lr3 Print Module where it gives me the paper size option to use a 4x6" paper" Closest fit is A6 which is not close enough.
    Thanking you!

    well that makes sense then. Can't imagine why my printer would offer so many size options but not 4x6, 5x7, etc... and for that matter it only offers millimetres and not inches.. Maybe in the initial setup it assumed I would not want inches but... inch dimensions are pretty universal pertaining to photos!
    Anyways - thank-you.  After much messing around and shrinking margins - I was able to print (essentially) a 4x6 albeit with a little border.
    Cheers ~

  • Printing to 4x6 Paper

    I have iPhoto 1.1.1 and I am having trouble getting it to print to my HP 5180 printer. Even when I select photo paper size in the print window I cannot get it to print on anything other than 8x11 paper not the photo paper.
    Does anyone have any thoughts?
    Thanks.

    The print size and paper size are two different selections - paper is selected in the print window by telling the printer which paper drawer to pull paper from

  • Problem printing to C paper from Lightroom (Epson 3880)

    My first 17x22 print from Lightroom to my Epson 3880 didn't complete the entire image.  After 10.75" of the photo, it kept repeating the first 0.5" of it down to the bottom of the printed area.
    I called Epson. At their suggestion I printed a saved Jpeg version of the same image with no problem. They said this must be a Lightroom issue, and I believe it is.  Didn't find any good answers on the web.
    I use a Mac, with LR version 4.4 and have updated the Epson printer driver.
    Checked Web discussions and didn't find much that might solve this problem, although I did try two things (1) Increasing the size of the Camera Raw cache, and (2) Turning off App Nap for LR.
    Looked through Apple Lightroom comments and didn't find anything there either.
    Any experience with this problem?  Any good answers?
    [I found one post on the web by someone with a similar problem, but didn't see any answers]
    Note: My first print was borderless. I tried a second print with a border, and more of the photo appeared before the first 0.5" was repeated to the end. But the size of the actual photo that was printed was about the same.  That led me to suspect some kind of memory management issue within Lightroom.

    Sean,
    I'm using 16 bit output because that is recommended for highest quality by Julieanne Kost and others. I've used 16 bit output for the same image with 8.5"x11" prints with no problems.
    And Lightroom should be able to handle this image!
    With a 3880, compromise shouldn't be necessary.  The workarounds get results, perhaps only with loss of time and not loss of quality.
    I tried a few more things.
    A different image printed out normally through LR on the C paper.
    I double-checked on the first image that I tried.  This has trees with plenty of leaves in the top half (high "information content")
    But that had the same problem as before with the normal process, and settings as above, with the cache at 50G.
    So you're right that the larger cache didn't solve the problem.
    I tried two things:
    Saved as TIFF instead of Jpeg.  The TIFF file was 84.9M vs. 11.3 for the Jpeg, so I wanted to see if it posed memory problems.
    Worked OK for the TIFF printed from Preview, as it had for the Jpeg. With LR closed.  I suppose that conserved system memory, but I'm not sure exactly how printing is implemented in LR.
    Then I tried another experiment.  From the LR Print module, with settings as above, I saved a PDF.  This is a branch.  Earlier I had the corrupted print problem when I displayed a PDF and then printed from that, with LR still open.  That didn't work.  In the new experiment, I closed LR and everything else, and restarted the computer.
    The saved PDF file is rather large - 3.52GB. Nevertheless, I opened it with Adobe Reader, used the OS Page and Printer setups as above, and was able to make a good print.
    If it could be done this way, it should be possilbe for LR to do the same thing while open.  Right?
    To evaluate your suggestion, Sean, I would need to do something like printing the other image with 8 bit output, in order to determine whether I can see a difference in quality from the version that printed normally with 16 bit output.
    I've been a persistent engineer/mathematician, and don't rest until I've solved a problem!
    It would be nice if Adobe had a customer service line for dealing with this kind of problem.  I'm a computer/image processing scientist, but not an Adobe programmer!
    Thanks for your suggestion
    Frank

  • Print issues when going from develope to print

    In LR5 when going from Develope to Print, I loose the picture and the print tab is greyed out.  Never had this problem before, did I do something wrong

    Make sure the source remains the same - check the filmstrip.
    The only suggestion is to place the batch for editing and printing into a collection or (temporary) quick collection and access the images from there in both modules.
