Printing only partial photos

I'm working on an iBook G4 and printing to a HP all-in-one 6100 series printer. I am sending a photo 4x6 size, two to a page to the printer. Sometimes it prints fine, then other times it only prints a sliver of the picture and then the printer seems to freeze. Any fix for this? I'm wasting lots of photo paper! Thanks in advance!

@Druffer, Welcome to the Forums!
If you were to save the attachment to your computer, you should have more options within your settings to print only the pages you need, opposed to the entire document that you may not fully need. You should see these options in programs such as Microsoft Word.
I hope this helps, if you need any further assistance, please let me know!

My unusual (?) printer issue -- Prints only partial lines when printing in black (part 2)

I have been using my HP Officejet J4680 with my Win7 PC for several years and relatively problem-free -- until about six months ago.
My printing issue might be rather odd. So odd, in fact, I’m not sure how to succinctly describe it. I’m not too techie, but I will try….
This printer will print some lines correctly, other lines print only partially, and some lines don’t print at all.
This oddity happens ONLY when I print in black. When changing the color of the text to any other color other than black the page does print correctly.
Further, this issue seems to occur ONLY when printing certain things/files/formats. For example, material from most websites will print correctly. As will most .PDF files. Printing files such as .txt, .doc, .wps, etc., seem to be the most problematic.
Fixes I have tried include:
Uninstalled and reinstalled printer
Run HP’s diagnostic tools (including checking for any driver updates)
Installed several new black ink cartridges
Cleaned and re-aligned printer head
Lastly, the “copy” feature continues to produce good results. These problematic symptoms seem to occur only while using the “print” function.
Short of relegating this printer to the trash, I’ve tried everything I can think of. Help/ideas/suggestions appreciated.

Printer will print only partial page

I have a HP all in one printer C6250. Sometimes but not always it will print only a partial part of a page or just select information. For instance, I tried to print out a request form for an absentee ballot and it printed only the bottom part of the page. All the print on the page was the same.
The day before, I printed out some concert tickets and airline tickets (in color) and they printed fine.
Last week, I tried to print a rebate form and only parts of the form printed (mainly the top part).
I have the latest drivers as I ran a test and all ink cartridges are full. I have to admit that I don't have all HP cartridges but the black one is an original one.
I also ran a print test page today and only the header printed with some partial character marks under.
I have windows vista operating system.

My HP C6380 printer only prints a partial page in Excel or Publisher. All others print fine. K

HP 7515 prints only from photo cartridge

When I ran out of black ink, I discovered I've been printing from the photo ink cartridge. I can't figure out how to change to the regular cartridge for my Mac (OS 10.9). I have referred to previous questions on this but cannot find the advanced print preference option that includes selecting grey scale, then black. I just reinstalled the printer driver. Thanks for any assistance.

I think I was able to find why you only have those few options in the print dialogue window. In my screen shot, in the bottom left corner it says "Hide Details". I believe yours will read "Show Details", push that and see if this gets the rest of the options.
Cheers,

Print only partial documents

Will not print full iteneraries, receipts, or documents with tables or Excel looking formats. Prints everything up to and after the tables. Occasionally will print HTML, but have had with PDF's, etc. Any ideas??

Occasionally will print HTML, but have had with PDF's [sic], etc. Any ideas??Commentary Off hand, at least in the case of issues with PDF format files, I would guess that you might want to install / update / or reinstall your Adobe Reader or Foxit PDF program. Adobe Reader, in particlar, has (somewhat) recently been updated to Adobe Reader DC -- this has created problems for people who have not updated the program on their computers and continue to use the old Adobe Reader format. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Printer Software In general, the printer depends on the printer software -- that is the Full Feature Software -- having been installed onto the computer, and that software running properly. Install Full Feature Software – Printer --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Print Preview In turn, the printer software makes use of Print Preview to allow the user to not only "preview" a print job, but also adjust the printing preferences and page setup. Print Preview is available from most Browsers (File > Print > Print Preview), from PDF Readers (Adobe Reader, Foxit), and from document editors (Word, WordPad). Manage Print Output with Print Preview Example:See Section titled: Adobe Reader DC Are the tables created within the document?If they are "added", remember that "cut and paste" does not work well in Word -- Use Insert instead. If the printer is low on black ink, some table lines that are "thin" may not show up at all because the line weight is not sufficient. This might be at least true for tables with "Excel looking formats" -- assuming I am imaging what you are describing. (Not likely, but there we are.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------General Comments Sucess generally depends on the ability of the printer to be able to translate the information in the browser web page / PDF file / document into something the printer can read and then dump onto paper with fonts that are the right size and in a format that matches the job requirement. Web developers -- the people who write web pages -- might not always follow the rules of good conduct: web developers might use fancy fonts that no one else has ever heard of, they might use dancing, twirly graphics that cause havoc when the job is handed off to the print software, and sometimes, they might break the page into pieces that do not print as even sized blocks on paper. When you print a web page, it is not always straight forward -- the printer sofware has a set of rules it can follow to translate the information it receives -- if the information falls outside those boundaries, something other than what you expect might be printed on that piece of paper.

Prints only partial page

My C4635 only prints what it wants to. Previously I used a C3180, but pop-ups were irritating so I went to the Control Panel and tried to delete it. Since then it says "deleting-offline" and has for several weeks. I assume I need to get rid of the C3180. If so, how do I do it? Norm

Phillip -- that did seem to work. Thanks!
One thing of note, after sleuthing it out a bit more, I realized that this happened after I was prompted by Apple's Software update to update the driver to version 1.1.1 (I think that was the number). that update seems to have broken Acrobat, so returning to the one on the Adobe site restores the functionality.
Perhaps this will be an alert to others not to install the Apple driver when prompted, though it's easy to let that slip by.

HP C6380 photo tray prints only green

The problem started when I installed my new computer with Windows 7. The photo tray prints only in green. I tried to print from the photo tray from various programs with the same result, so the printer must be the problem. I downloaded and installed the 2009-10-20 software and driver version 13.1.0 which did not correct the problem. I also ran the HP printer problem detection tool and got no help there. Please help me. I use this feature often. By the way, I posted this same question a short time again and it has disappeared. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Only prints part of photo

I am trying to print a 12x16 in photo from iPhoto using an Epson 1280 printer. Unfortunately, the printer only prints part (about 1/4 of the photo). It then ejects the photo paper as if it were finished with the print job. I downloaded the latest driver from the Epson website. I also tried deleting the .plist file in the Library folder (I ended up restoring it because the next time I launched iPhoto, almost all of my photos were missing). Finally, I also tried creating and printing from a new user account. The only thing that seemed to work was when I tried printing an 8x10 of the same photo (to save ink, I printed it in B/w rather than color, though I can't imagine that made a difference). Incidentally, I had the same problem once before and managed to solve it. Unfortunately, I can't remember how -- my best recollection is that it had something to do with drivers and/or Library files. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Heather:
The problem is that the Epson 1280 does not support 12x16 borderless prints. From the Epson site:
"It produces captivating borderless 4" x 6", 5" x 7", 8" x 10", letter (8.5" x 11"), 11" x 14" and 13" x 19" color photos"
If you don't need borderless select the paper size that the printer supports that will hold that size print and select a custom sized print in the Print window. It should print in the center of the paper used.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

First letter on a line only partially printing

HP 3310 Photosmart All-in-one
On almost every page printed, the left-most part of the first letter on (mainly) the first line of the page does not print. Frequently, first letters on subsequent lines (not necessarily consecutive) also only partially print. Sometimes, interior letters have the same problem.
I have changed cartridges several times and cleaned print heads several times (although the test sheet printed when cleaning printheads is invariably perfect). Sometimes the very lowest portion of several letters in a row will not print.
The problem happens with different paper stock, different fonts, and different cartridges (including genuine HP cartridges.

It sounds like you have an issue with the ink drying out in the printheads. This could be caused by a defective service station area (the part that caps the printheads while not printing), bad ink or by turning the power off to the printer before the printheads have been put away properly.
It would take a long time for a change of ink cartridges to actually show up at the printheads, there would be a significant amount of ink that remains in the system even after a cartridge change. You say you have used different cartridges (including genuine HP cartridges). Does that mean you have used non-HP ink? I would suggest putting in HP ink and running several (three or more) cleaning cycles but unfortunately if you have used bad ink it may be very difficult to flush this out of the system.

My apps, photos etc on my iPad are only partially backing up on iCloud. Anybody know why? It's only backing up 1.7GB even though I have 13GB of stuff on it.

My apps and everything on my iPad are only partially backing up to iCloud. It's only backing up 1.7 GB but I have 13GB of stuff on my iPad. I have 200GB of iCloud storage so I don't know what the issue is.

Apps are not part of the backup. In app data is, but backing up the apps would be redundant as they can be re-downloaded from the store for free. Media (music, movies, podcasts, etc.) are also not part of the backup for the same reason.
iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
What iCloud backs up
You have important information on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. iCloud automatically backs up your device over Wi-Fi every day while it’s turned on, locked, and connected to a power source. With your device information backed up in iCloud, you can easily set up a new device or restore information on one you already have.
Here’s what iCloud backs up:
Purchase history for music, movies, TV shows, apps, and booksYour iCloud backup includes information about the content you have purchased, but not the purchased content itself. When you restore from an iCloud backup, your purchased content is automatically downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. Some types of content aren’t downloaded automatically in all countries, and previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the store.

Canon printer only printing a partial page.

I updated to 10.10.1 and my Canon MG5522 will only print part of the page and then it faults for lost of communication. I've tried deleting the Canon folders in the Library and emptying the trash. Restart the computer and installed the new printer driver from Canon for my printer. Added the printer but it would still only print a partial page. Any ideas on what to try to fix the problem. Thanks!!

Just to be sure it is not an OS or driver fault, connect the MG to the Mac via USB. This will either create a new printer automatically or you will have to open Printers & Scanners and add the printer. Then see if you can print a full page.
If that works, disconnect the USB cable to the MG and reconnect to the wireless access point. Then open Safari and enter the IP address of the MG as the URL. This will connect to the internal web page of the MG and here you will see the strength and quality of the wireless signal. If either is below half then try restarting your wireless router so that it picks up another channel, working on the assumption that the current channel being used is crowded.
Also, if your wireless router provides 2.5Ghz and 5GHz channels, try disabling the 5GHz channel and restarting the Mac and MG to see if that improves the wireless stability.

My problem is that after printing the first photo or picture, when I come to print a second, both the Colour Management and Epson Colour Controls are greyed out and showing No Colour Management

I have recently purchased a Mac computer (updated to Maverick) to go with my Epson Stylus Photo RX500 printer which has given excellent service with my old Windows computer. However, when trying to print pictures or photos via Photoshop Elements 11, the best results I can get are using the Colour Management and Epson Colour controls in the printing options box.
My problem is that after printing the first photo or picture, when I come to print a second, both the Colour Management and Epson Colour Controls are greyed out and showing No Colour Management, The only way I can reset the controls is to shut down the printer and computer and restart.
Could there may be a setting somewhere that I need to adjust please? I have been in touch with Epson and they say that the Epson Colour controls are part of the Photoshop Elements software but a post on the Adobe forum brought no results and I am unable to contact Adobe.
<Edited by Host>

Hello Garry. Thanks for the reply. I guess I should have used a different title from "How do I post a question?" That should come after trying to resolved the colour settings first. However, to answer your question, after experimenting with all the different settings in Photoshop Elements and Epson software, I now start with PSE11 Colour settings then click "no colour management" then after clicking Print, I choose "More Options/Colour Management/Colour Handling/Printer Manages Colour" then I choose "Page Setup/Layout/Colour Matching" which then shows Epson Colour Controls but I also choose "Layout/Colour Management" which then shows "Colour Controls/Mode" I then of course choose an Epson printer profile depending on the paper I am using. I get good results but as I said, the Colour Matching and Colour Controls are then greyed out. Hope that makes sense.

How can i get this printer to make photo copies 8x10 instead of just 4x6

no matter what i put in my photo printing preferences as to the size of paper it will only print a 4x6. how can i get it to print an 8x10 photo?

Please follow the instructions here in order.
