Setting printing margin

When I go in the printer setup menu, I can see the margin settings but they are greyed out and I cannot modify them. They use one inch margin when my printer (Kodak 8500) can print much closer to the edge of the paper. I loose a lot of valuable paper!
How can this be modified?

Hey,
In order to keep the paper from getting wasted in the margins, you can select the radio button for "Fit to page" in the print dialog itself.Do tell me if this in anyway sorts out your problem.
Cheers,

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.

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!

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.

Setting print margins

Hello,
I'm using javax.print package to print some tif. All goes well, but I have some troubles in setting up margins programmatically. It tells me that MediaPrintableArea is not a supported attribute for the choosen DocFlavor, but I see that the margins change, and they are quite correct! I try with several values and the margins change, but I always get the message.
Below you can find a piece of code. I snipped the lines that actually send the image to the printer.
Is this the right way to setup print margins?
May I be using the ps.getUnsupportedAttributes() incorrectly?
   protected String print() throws Exception {
      StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer();
      PrintService ps = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(DocFlavor.SERVICE_FORMATTED.PRINTABLE, serviceAttribute)[0];
//---- It is a A4 page (210x296mm)
      MediaPrintableArea mpa = new MediaPrintableArea(15, 25, 185, 251, MediaPrintableArea.MM);
      DocAttributeSet das = new HashDocAttributeSet();
      if ( !ps.isAttributeCategorySupported(MediaPrintableArea.class) ) {
        // Never goes throu these lines
        log.severe("Option not supported by print service"+ps.getName()+" '"+mpa.getName()+"'");
        result.append("Option not supported by print service"+ps.getName()+" '"+mpa.getName()+"'");
      else {
        das.add(mpa);
      AttributeSet nonSupportati = ps.getUnsupportedAttributes(DocFlavor.SERVICE_FORMATTED.PRINTABLE, das);
      if ( nonSupportati!=null && !nonSupportati.isEmpty() ) {
        // Always goes throu these lines
        Attribute a[] = nonSupportati.toArray();
        for ( int i=0; i<a.length; i++ ) {
          log.warning("Option value not supported by "+ps.getName()+" '"+a.getName()+"' = '"+a[i]+"'");
result.append("Option value not supported by "+ps.getName()+" '"+a[i].getName()+"' = '"+a[i]+"'");
// Now print: need more code to compile it
/* SimpleDoc doc = new SimpleDoc(this, DocFlavor.SERVICE_FORMATTED.PRINTABLE, das );
DocPrintJob pj = ps.createPrintJob();
pj.print(doc, requestAttribute);
pj = null;*/
return result.toString();

How do set printing margins for my hp110photo smart printer

I can't get my printer to print the whole page text. It cuts off most of the right portion of the document.How do I set the margins so it doesn't do this.

seminolepeddler
Possible place(s) to look for a fix:
This might be a function output of the type of document you are printing.
Try setting the editor to wrap the text at a particular margin size.
Depending on your document editor and / or your browser , much of what is printed is controlled in Print Preview. The Print Preview feature is available in most editors and most browsers under File, that is, the left-most editor drop down menu function. (Chrome lacks a File Menu, find these features in Settings.)
You may need to switch the print to landscape.
You can also control the margins, at least to a small degree, in the Page Setup > Margins - Header / Footer tab of Print Preview. Be Aware: Expanding the margins may impact the header / footer information that is ordinarily printed on the document along with the text. You can switch off this information, if desired.

Setting print margin for a pdf document

How to set margin in a pdf document for printing?

hi
i got the answer
we have to give issue output to -->screen

How can I remove print margins when manually setting them to zero doesn't work?

I'm trying to print a web page that I've created with a custom paper size of 4.5x10.25 inches. I want the page to be printed right to the edge of the paper, with no margins at all.
I've been reading for a few days and the best thing I can find is to use Mac's Page Setup dialog to create a custom paper size and custom margins, which I've done and set to the default for all of my printers. (Hopefully I'm able to post links to images --> http://i.imgur.com/kVbOZLk.png). No matter what I do though I can't get the margins to go away. There's always always always a .75 inch margin when I print and when I print preview (Again, hoping I can post links to images --> http://i.imgur.com/cxlVS8o.png). Just to note: The same thing happens printing other websites and documents (i.e it is not a problem with my website).
Things I've tried:
I've read that the margins are only visible in print preview and printing the page will remove them. This didn't work.
I've tried tricking the system by setting my margins to 0.01 inches
I've tried adjusting the website to not be exactly the size of the page (I made it smaller) and the margins were still there.
I've set "print.print_extra_margin" to 0 in Firefox's about:config page.
I've tried a different printer.
I've tried a co-worker's machine running a newer version of OSX.
I've made absolutely sure that my page size it set correctly.
I'm using OSX 10.6.8 with Firefox v21.0.
The closest I can come to this is using Google Chrome, where there is a specific option for "none" in margins and the Chrome preview looks okay, but I'm not able to specify paper size unless I click "Print using system dialog" which gives me the same problems as above.
How do I remove the margins and just fit to the exact size of the page?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're all users here.
Does your Print dialog offer photo 'borderless printing' settings for various paper sizes?
Every photo printer I've ever encountered leaves some unprintable margin, unless 'borderless' and/or 'photo' media are specifically selected.
On many of the Canon inkjet color printers I've used, borderless printing is only available when one of the photo papers is selected, even when a custom size specified that is smaller than the actual paper, trying to make it 'borderless'
I stitch together and print panoramas of theatre sets for my local community theater, so I end up with an image about 4.5 inches by 11.5 inches to be printed.
Selecting a photo and opening in Preview and selecting 'Fill Entire Paper' illustrates the standard unprintable borders for my specific printer.
When I open the panoramic image in Preview, I get this print preview. (The set image is of course rotated left)
By selecting Letter and Borderless in the Paper Size dialog for my Canon MG5320 printer, I get this result.
This particular Canon printer of course does NOT actually 'know' what paper is inserted, but the ink is applied assuming that a photo paper is being used, so it will saturate a standard paper.
Hope this helps!

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.

Problem setting page margins for printing

I made a program that prints inventory reports at work, but I wanted to push back the margins a bit so I can use a font size one larger. As it is, some of the information is at font size 10. I do not want to use the "Page Settup" dialog to bug the user to change it; I wanted to set it automatically.
I tried taking the PageFormat argument to Printable's print() method and setting the imageable area like so...
    public int print(Graphics graphics, PageFormat pageFormat, int pageIndex)
        Paper formatEdit = pageFormat.getPaper();
        formatEdit.setImageableArea( 36,36, pageFormat.getWidth()-36,pageFormat.getHeight()-36);
        pageFormat.setPaper(formatEdit);
        ...Is this at least the general approach I should be using, or should I be doing something totally different?
As always, thanks much in advance.

Set them automatically based on what criteria?
If you just want to set them programatically, then as the Help indicates, use the Printing:Margins property to set those values.

Can you set the print margins in Preview?

Simple question: Is there a way to set the print margins when printing an image from Preview?
Thanks,

I can set margins in other programs (like Photoshop, Word, Excel, Firefox, Chrome...), but there does not seem to be a setting for margins when printing from Preview. I don't want to resize the image, just get it to print in a certain position on the paper (template form).
In the case of Photoshop, you are placing an image on a canvas and can position the image to suit. Word and Excel have a Page Setup menu that lets you set the margin positions - which know since you have got the output you wanted. There is no Page Setup menu for most, if not all, Apple applications like Preview. Instead parts of the Page Setup menu have been added to the print dialog but margins is not one of them.
EagleSongs wrote:

Understood. Unfortunately you don't get that option in Preview. The image will be centred - both horizontal and vertical - based on the paper size and the printer you have selected in the print dialog. You could create a custom paper size with the margins you want to position the image and then use that custom paper in Preview. But your workaround of using Word gives you more control over the positioning of the image.

You didn't mention any color calibration being done on your monitor. This is an essential part of any color-correct workflow. What are you using to calibrate your monitor (and your printer)?
Print profiles (for soft-proofing as well as printing) are for specific combinations of paper & printer. The nine you have are each, most likely, for a common paper (perhaps mfr'd by Canon) to be used with your printer.
I don't know what you mean when you say "I choose a high standard print option".
Have you read the User Manual chapter on printing?
Printing Your Images
There is also a good appendix on calibration:
Calibrating Your Aperture System

Is there a way to set the printed margins to zero. I want to fill the whole page, as much as the printer allows.

Normally Firefox prints Title, URL, time and page number on the four corners of the printed page. I want to remove printing of this
information and instead print the page out to the corners limited by
what the printer allows. I know how to stop printing the URL etc. but then I get empty margins. I want to set this margins to zero so Firefox prints on the whole paper sheet. As it is now I will have to use another browser that doesn't insert unwonted margins.

How do I set the margins for a book in ibook author

I am fairly new to Ibooks author and am having trouble figuring out how to set my margins to follow throughout the book. I am making the book in landscape mode and want the hardcopy version to be 11 x 8.5. I need the left margin to be set at 2.5 and no matter what I have done it skews the following pages. I will publish this online but since this is going to be a family history book, I am going to have to export it eventually to PDF and send it to a printer. Does anyone know how to change these settings?

Thank you. I just like the possibilities associated with Ibooks author. But I will do that and maybe later transfer that data to Ibooks.
Thanks again.

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.

PDF Export: How to set bottom margin to 0

Greetings,
I am new to Crystal and I did not see this question on the forums, so please forgive me, if this topic has been covered elsewhere.
I am using Crystal Reports Standalone, XI R2 (product version 11.5.0.313). I am exporting a report to PDF and I need a company logo to sit at the very bottom of the page, with no white space/border/margin showing.
I was able to get the graphic image to "stretch" to the left and right , by picking a printer that allows for 0 margins. This fixed the issue with the left and the right, but i still get a small white border at the bottom of the page.
I have tried too many tricks to mention here., and none get rid of the bottom space/margin.
Is it possible to achieve this with Crystal? If so, I would be grateful for the steps to accomplish this.
NOTE: We are not able to upgrade or download service packs at this time, due to environment constraints. If this is something that is fixed in a service pack or future release, please tell me and I can relay that information to those with the authority to upgrade.
Thanks.

Everybody is new sometime, and it is not always easy for find what you are searching for.
Try going to FILE \ Page Setup and set your margins.
