Printing problem on 4 X 6 photo paper

When I print from my iPad using wireless the photo prints too large to fit on the paper. Also when printing on paper the font size is too large. How can I adjust the size? Thank you.

Hi,
If you are using the AirPrint functionality of your iphone, this has limitations in terms of the paper size, scaling and resizing of photos.
If you download the HP eprint app, you'll find that this offers much more flexability in terms of papaer size and resizing of images. HP eprint is free to download from the app store.

I would like to print my Pages document on Matte Photo Paper

I would like to print my Pages document on Matte Photo Paper which is in the rear feeder of my Canon Pixma MX882 printer. The print function in Pages/Yosemite does not give me that option.The only options are to print on plain paper from the cassette. When I print images from iPhoto, I have more paper options. When I try to convert the doc to a jpeg, with Graphic Converter so I can drop it in iPhoto, the result is very blurred almost unreadable.

Have you gone to Canon's website and downloaded the very latest Printer Driver for your Model?
Also have you looked amongst the paper handling options in your Print dialogue for the rear feeder option.
What is stopping you putting the high quality paper in your regular paper cassette?

HP D5460 printer. Colors are bad on photo paper.

HP D5460 printer. Colors are bad on photo paper,, OK on plain paper. New genuine HP cartridges. It used to work fine. Have tried aligning print head. Have tried "automatic" and "best" for print quality. Doesn't matter.
Vista 64 bit OS

Besides using genuine HP ink cartridges, check this document:

Printer properties continue to show HP photo paper, despite Preferences being set for Automatic.

Yesterday, while attempting to print a Word Perfect 5 document (my word processing app), the printer( HP Office Jet 6500 E709) operated, passed the paper through and made the printing sounds, but no ink was applied to the paper. I thought perhaps the cartridge had run dry, although I usually get a warning and then can visually see from the finished print job when the ink cartridge is empty. My PC is running Win XP Professional, and the printer has never been a problem. I installed a new Black cartridge and successfully printed off a test page. Still could not print the WP document, or any other document from "my documents" file. Tried the "copy" function and the printer worked fine. Still no document printing. Printed a Yahoo e-mail using the "print" option at the top of the message, and the printer worked fine. When printing from that icon, I got a pop-up display with a menu option labeled "preferences." This is the standard routine when printing an e-mail. I clicked on preferences saw that they were set at automatic, portrait, and color. I changed color to Gray Scale, black ink only, and the page printed properly. This has always been the routine, whether printing an e-mail of printing a document. Then I went to my WP document and hit the printer icon on my task bar and got a different pop- up display. In this display there was no "preferences" option, only a "properties" option. When I pressed that button I saw a setting that said HP Photo paper, portrait, grayscale high quality. I changed the paper type[ to "automatic" but cold not change the color option to black ink only. I closed the menu and attempted to print. No ink. I repeated the steps and discovered that the properties had reverted back to HP Photo Paper. I attempted to print from the File menu and by using Cntrl P. Neither option worked and the "Pproperties" continued to show HP photo paper, even though I changed it after each failed attempt and the hopper was full of white ink jet paper. I deinstalled the HP printer and reinstalled it using the original discs. Since the reinstall, the preferences are set as desired, and remain that way every time I chack them. I can print a test page, copy and print email. However, when printing from the print option in File, the task bar printer icon or Cntrl P, the pages continue to be processed but no ink is applied. The pop-up menu that appears when using any of these commands always contains the term "properties" and those properties always show HP photo paper as the stock being used. Regaerdless of how many times I correct the paper type, the entry reverts to HP photo paper after each attempt at printing.

I have the B8550 too, and I just assumed that since it's a fairly high-end printer, it would support the highest-end HP photo paper (i.e., Premium Plus). However, the manual states:
HP Premium and HP Premium Plus photo papers are not supported with this product.
Now, I don't know if that means you shouldn't use it, or that the advanced features won't work, or ??? Or if you should use it, what settings to use (since that type of paper is not listed in the options on the drop-down menu.) I have used the Premium Plus Soft Gloss without any problems. But HP seems to think that the highest quality paper you can use with this printer is "Advanced," which is their third-grade paper. Not exactly what I'd expect from this type of printer.

HP Photosmart premium not printing correct colors or contrast on photo paper.

My HP Photosmart Premium does not print correct colors or contrast level on photographs using photo paper. This happens with using most any application and setting the paper type to one of the photo papers... By using MS PhotoAlbum and selecting the photo tray then forcing "regular paper", I can get a somewhat decent print (this trick only works with MS PhotoAlbum). When I setup to any of the "photo paper" types, I do not get correct colors or contrast levels (even if the print preview looks good).
I have the same issue with 8.5 x 11 inch photopaper. Unless I select "regular paper" as the paper type, I get incorrect color and contrast (even if the preview looks good). The ICC "Color Profiles" look to be OK (at least the titles are correct).
Anyone have any ideas?

Try the troubleshooting steps in this page. My bet would be the Photo cartridge (the black with the bow tie symbol) is out of ink. This is only used when photo paper is selected, for plain paper printing the regular black cartridge is used.

Printing problems with CS5 and Epson Photo R2880 printer

I'm having problems getting good prints when using Photoshop CS5 with my Epson Photo R2880 printer, problems I never had with CS4. Here's the situation:
If I take a PSD file and print it using CS4, everything works out perfectly. But if I take that same PSD file and print it out using CS5, the print is now offset top to bottom, as well as left to right, along with a 1/8" black strip being printed down the right edge of the paper. As far as I can tell, everything is set the same.
I've compared all the print information found in the Print dialog summary box between CS4 and CS5 and everything appears to be the same. I've verified that I'm using the latest print driver with my printer, and I am. It's 8.27. I've verified that I've checked off the box to center the print to the paper, each time I've made a print. And in trying to figure out what's going on, I've discovered that this problem occurs with any paper size when using CS5, but not with CS4.
I'm stumped and frustrated and without any more ideas as to what I should do next, except to always print my projects using CS4. If anyone has an idea for me, please let me know! Thanks!
P.s. I'm new at using this forum, and though I thought I sent this out once already, I never saw it posted. If I'm in error and it's already out there, sorry for the mistake and posting it twice.

>"Unfortunately then I'd have to say all bets are off. The only true test is to print with the standard materials that Epson has designed their printer for. Only if that works well should you be trying third-party materials. For example, third-party inks in general are of poorer quality, are inconsistent, clog more, and in the long run, do not save you anywhere the amount of money they advertise over the genuine Epson products."
Getting very nice results with an R1800, Inkjetfly CIS, and Red River paper. The R1800 has never had Epson ink run through it and has no abnormal clogging problems. In fact, clogs are rare.
Getting near perfect matches to the monitor with both Colorvision and x-rite calibrating/profiling equipment. The printer stays on 24-7 so the only ink used, other than printing, is a periodic nozzle check. I am not alone in this, so blanket statements like the above are specious at best.
And no, I don't sell prints for big bux, so whether they are going to last a hundred years is not a concern. Besides, until someone is around long enough to verify those claims, the jury is out. I've got color prints from the wet days that are fading after 20+ years. Third party inks are not necessarily lower quality than OEM. One of the reasons for the development of high quality third party inks was the dissatisfaction of B&W and fine art printers with the OEM products.
Of course the cheap refilled/knockoff carts being hawked on ebay and the like are a different story.

Print Book on 8.5x11 in photo paper for "proof" No Landscape mode :(

Is there anyway to print pages of a book to 11x8.5 paper and
(1) Have Aperture rotate the image to landscape mode?
and
(2) Have it scale the page to the page being printed onto?

Well, I may have created my own work-around for this.
I printed the book as a PDF and then printed the PDF. Doing so scaled the final printed output to the 8.5 x 11 photo paper that I had (even though the book itself will be larger). And it printed in landscape mode.
So the "trick" is to print the book as a PDF rather than try to directly print it from Aperture to your printer.

Printing problem; pages are junk text on paper seems to be all sites

Content displays normally but when printed the text appears on paper as junk text and mixed characters. This has occurred with Earthlink home page, Bank of America and Wells Fargo online banking and even the Firefox 4 Beta 12 feedback page. I only have one printer so I can't say that it pertains to all printers or drivers.

Color LaserJet CM1015 mfp photo printing problem

I am running a Color LaserJet CM1015 mfp utilizing only HP print cartridges and HP Color Laser Photo Paper, glossy, yet I cannot seem to get a decent photo to print. There is always a black smear or two on the front of the printed page. It prints black and white and color just fine on plain paper but I cannot get a decent print on glossy. This has happened since day one so I don't think it's a dirty print roller,,etc. issue.
Thanks for any ideas!
Michael

Yes I solved the problem. I had to clean the registry of all information regarding this printer. During the installation I noticed interesting thing. The only installation that worked well was from the CD that came with the printer. I've tried downloaded latest version but it didn't install properly and have no idea why.

How do i print pics sent via e-mail on 8 1/2 x 11 versus photo paper

I sent a pic via e-mail and my printer keeps telling me to add photo paper?? I just want it to print out on regular paper... 8 1/2 x 11. Are there settings to make this happen automatically?

Hello tj211,
ePrint settings can be changed by logging into ePrintCenter, and selecting print options on the left side of the ePrint panel. Here you will find settings for color options and paper size. Print options only apply to documents not photos. Photo files will always be printed in 4x6”.

HT4356 How do I get the photo paper to print using an app from my iPad?

Has anyone had difficulties using an airprinter. I have been using a crafting app with photos. I selected my HP airprinter
To print the project. The first 3 times it worked correctly. Now when I try to print it will not use the photo paper.
It will print out on regular paper.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

Postcards / Cards print on photo paper?

Can anyone tell me if that the cards/postcards you purchase from Apple are printed on card stock or on photo paper.
iMac G4 800mHz, iBook G4 1.42Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I ordered a Christmas card from Apple and it arrived today and it's excellent quality. I think it's card as it's not shiny like photo paper.
However, I ordered two cards and only one arrived with two envelopes!!

Printing on 4" by 6" photo paper

I have no trouble in printing my photos on A4 paper, using hp psc1350 printer. However, 4' by 6' prints capture only part of the image. I set the printer to 'Fit to page' and 'Photo' paper type. I set the paper size under the custom part (10 by 15 centimetres) in Page Set Up. In Print mode, I set the size to '4 by6'. Under the Advanced tab, I change the paper quality to that of photo paper. but still, I get partial prints only. Surely I have missed a simple step somewhere?

You have cropped it to 4x6 in iPhoto before trying to print, correct? With my two printers I use the borderless 4x6 setting in Page Setup and in the iPhoto print window I select the specific printer again and then Standard Prints, 4x6 and click on the 1 photo per page checkbox.

Printing photos on HP 4 X 6.5 inch photo paper

I recently purchased an HP Pavilion desktop computer that came with HP MediaSmart Photo. This new HP photo software does not give the option to print photos on anything smaller than 8 X 10 photo paper, that I can see. Does HP MediaSmart have an option to print on 4 X 6.5 inch photo paper? If not, is there HP photo software (like the HP Image Zone I used to have) that I can download using Windows Vista that will allow me to print on 4 X 6.5 photo paper?

Hi chrisjs100,
This could possible be a hardware issue. I suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
