Problems with borderless printing with iPhoto '08 and HP Photosmart Printer

I am trying to print borderless 4x6 photos on HP Photosmart C6250 (same as all HP C62xx Photosmart printers). I am using the HP 4x6 photo paper with the perforated tab. When I select the paper size, I specify Borderless 4x6 in/10 x15 cm (tab). According to the printer manual, the tab should be facing out. I have tried printing with tab out and the tab in. With tab in, it printed the picture leaving white space at the other end equal to length of tab. With tab out as printer specified, it left a white gap at beginning of photo (not as wide as tab) and printed the photo over the perforated tab.
Anyone else figured out how to print using the 4x6 paper with tabs. I also tried printing from the HP software included with the printer and it has issues, too. So, it might be an HP problem, or is it maybe a Mac printing issue with this printer.
Thanks for any help!

This is a shot in the dark but take a look at the following topic. It might just help. As they say, any port in a storm.
Topic : iphoto won't print properly to HP photosmart
It does seem like a bizarre solution however. Good luck.
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) 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. 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: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

How to Restrict printing the document using IRM for a Single Document?Allow printing for some documents and restrict the printing for particular documents in same document library?

Can we able to Configure the IRM in Document Level in SharePoint Document libraries?
The document library contains multiple document sets , Can we restrict the printing according to document sets? Allow printing for some documents and restrict the printing for particular documents in same document library
Is this possible?Please suggest.

Yes, that can be done. But note that all administrators will have the same right to print, so you need to make sure the users are not administrators. You can include a macro to disable printing, but if the users disable macro, they can print the documents.
Hence, there is no foolproof way to prevent printing documents. If you still need a foolproof security, PDF format provides password based security (viewing doesn't require a password) that can be implemented to prevent the document from printing,
which doesn't require any special scripts and is tough.

Printing problem with Mac OS 10.5.6 and HP Photosmart C8180

I'm new to Macs and have just bought an iMac and an HP photosmart C8180 printer. The problem I'm having is trying to get the wireless printing option working on the Mac. I've tested that the wireless connection is working on the printer by installing the software on my old Dell Laptop and it works fine between the PC and printer. It's also working with the USB lead between the Mac and the printer but it's just the wireless connection that seems to be the problem.

You select the options in the Print dialog of the application you are using. Just be sure you have the extended dialog showing (big down arrow next to the Printer drop down menu.) There are various options presented, some of which are in additional drop down menus.

Problems printing an iPhoto 6 book on my printer

I have created a large hard back book in iPhoto 6. I'm attempting to print a copy of the book on an Epson Stylus Photo 1280 printer, however, EVERY page is printed with the extra binding margin on the right hand side of the page. I have tried everything I can think of including reinstalling iPhoto, trashing preferences, reinstalling the latest printer drivers, etc., but nothing works. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING considering this never happened with iPhoto 5 & 10.3.9. Any ideas on how to get the margins to print every other page left and right would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Is Maestro a debit/atm card for MasterCard? What type of response are you getting when you try to use it? It may be just that you're having trouble getting the order connected rather than the card being denied. Also make sure your 1-click info is up to date, including the expiration date of the card. That caught me recently.

IPhoto 6 and HP Photosmart A640

I purchased an HP Photosmart A640 photo printer yesterday and I am having trouble getting photos to print directly from iPhoto (I'm running iPhoto 6). I got the printer to connect to my MacBook Pro with bluetooth, and I also have it plugged in via USB.
When I open iPhoto and select a photo to print, I get the printer dialogue box that allows you to select which printer to use, etc. Photosmart A640 is selected, so far so good. Now I need the photo to print on 4x6 paper and here is where the problem lies. I cannot select a 4x6 paper option for this particular printer even though I can when I am using my larger printer (HP Photosmart 7150). I've searched for a fix, and tried to find a solution with my own tinkering, with no luck.
The only way so far I have been able to get my photos to print on this machine is by dragging each photo one at a time into Bluetooth Exchange software. Not very efficient at all.
Anyone have a fix for this problem?

NEVER MIND. Found a fix. Had to select driver software under Print & Fax > Options & Supplies > Driver. (HP Photosmart A640). I am now able to choose a 4 x 6 printer setting.

My printer isn't printing. i replaced cartridges, and still not printing.

We were trying to make a copy and kept getting blank pages. I replaced the black, blue, and magenta cartridges. I still can't get black to print though. I can get a little of magenta and blue to print. I tried printing an email and got some of those colors, but if I try to make a copy, I get nothing but blank paper.

hi there 333crown,
could you provide the community with a little more information to narrow troubleshooting? Things like your operating system and the printer model usually help considerably.

Printing in Iphoto 6 Vs. 3rd Party Printing Program?

Why is printing in Iphoto 6 seem to degrade or print out a picture worse than when you use Canon's Easy Photo or Photoshop? The pictures come out darker and not as true as when you use the other programs. It would be convenient to use just Iphoto for everything. Any suggestions or help?

Lenny:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. A lot has to do with color profiles and how iPhoto handles them. Canon's software probably uses the canon I've not gotten a handle on that either and use Photoshop from within iPhoto to do my most of my printing. I have PS set up to use the sRGB color profile as that's what is used by Apple for books, calendars, etc. iPhoto may or may not use the profile depending on how you have the preferences set up (Advanced section of iPhoto's preferences). As I said, since I do most everything via PS I just print from it also.

I am trying to print from iphoto to my hp photosmart wireless printer

i get an error message when im trying to print from iphoto to my hp photsomart wireless printer

Can you print from other apps, if you can then please repost in the iPhoto forum. If you cannot then advise exactly what printer you have, the verison of OS X the iMac is using and describe exactly what steps you used to install the printer. Without these minimal pieces of informtion it's very difficult to assist you.

Photo printing from Iphoto 09 using epson r200 printer

Mac Mini, Iphoto 09, Epson stylus photo r200 printer.
Hello, I have been trying to get a decent printed photo (6" x 4" high gloss photo paper) using the above. All I seem to get are very poor quality prints. There does not seem to be a way of telling iphoto what medium I am using or the correct resolution I wish to use. Can anyone help !

Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
If paper type is available it is in the printer specific options on the second print window - select the photo(s) you want to print, click print, select the printer, paper size and print size and click print - in the resulting window any available printer specific options will be in the pull down line toward the bottom of the window - if they are not click on the gray triangle to the right of the printer name to open the full window -- note that the available printer specific options are controlled by the printer driver - not iPhoto

Can you order prints thought iPhoto '11 and pay with iTunes credit?

I'd like to know if you can pay for photo prints through the "Order Prints" service in iPhoto with iTunes credit.

Maybe - in the past you could not - give it a try and post back with the results.

I started with a brand new iPhoto Library and I still can't get it to work.

I have almost 40,000 photos and iPhoto simply stopped working altogether. You can read all about my trials and tribulations here: http://www.davidgagne.net/2014/01/02/dealing-with-my-iphoto-library/
Eventually I simply resigned myself to not being able to use iPhoto and started using a program called Lyn. (http://www.lynapp.com/index.html)
The only problems are that now there is no way to synch photos with my iPhone and now I have no way to use iCloud.
So I decided to create a brand new iPhoto library on my laptop and use it *only* for (a) dealing with iCloud and (b) managing the (copies of) photos I want to synch to my iPhone.
I opened iPhoto and created a brand new iPhoto library. This new library is completely empty.
As soon as I connected my iCloud account, iPhoto started using 250% of my MacBook Air processor, 99.9% of its RAM, and absolutely punishing the laptop fan. My entire computer basically becomes unusable; and remember -- this is a completely empty library.
Also fun: iPhoto was downloading every photo from my iCloud account to my laptop.
Am I the only one suffering like this?
Does anyone have an alternate way to synch photos between iPhone and computer?

Does Lyn put the image files in a special package or just accesses them in their folders on the hard drive?
You can sync photos to your iPhone using iTunes. Put copies of the photos you want on the iPhone in a folder on the hard drive and select it in iTunes to sync with the phone.
The screenshot shows syncing from a folder named NanoPics.

Need help scanning with OS X 10.7.4 and HP 4780 printer/scanner

I am printing wirelessly to my HP, but I cannot scan. Any suggestions? (I was able to scan before getting new software.)

Apple distributes all driver updates through the App Store. The latest one includes an update for the HP Photosmart C4700 series:
Go to the App Store for updates, not the HP site.
WIth Lion, scanning in Preview is a bit odd. The first time you select Preview > Import from scanner, you must select "Include networked devicers". Then, you need to select Preview > Import from Scanner again, and your HP should appear in a submenu. What happens when you try that?
