Single photos printed in iPhoto come out all wrong

I'm trying to print photos from iPhoto. The problem is they come out the wrong size or with the incorrect alignment (or both). I'm printing on an Epson using 4x6 photo paper. After I've believed to set up the size and print quality in the Print dialogue box, the prints come out off-center and aligned incorrectly; sometimes they come out in thumb-nail size. What is really confusing is that it seems you can set up the photo in two different ways: one in Page Setup, and one through the Print dialogue box; doing one or both changes everything, and it's always wrong. Can someone give me step-by-step help? Thanks.

I'm afraid that I can give no solution, but am equally keen to discover and correct the issue. I have a similar problem printing from iPhoto to my HP Deskjet F380, no orientation issues (as yet) though. The print setup all seems fine and shows me what I want to print but as soon as I go to print, preview or pdf I get given something completely different and something that does not correspond to any of the other print settings. I have eliminated the printer driver as an issue - this has been re-installed and besides there are no issues with printing from any other software.

  • Adobe PDF plugin 10.1.5.33 does not print correctly. Some text comes out all garbled but looks fine on screen.

    I am using Adobe PDF plugin 10.1.5.33. I can open PDF files and they look fine. When I print some of the test comes out all garbled - usually labels, notes at bottom etc. If I disable plugin then when I open PDF Firefox uses Adobe PDF reader to open file and then printing is fine. I have Adobe reader 10.1.5

    I am seeing the same issue with Reader 11.0.1.36. Without the Adobe plugin enabled, no issue. Probably related to the type of font being used for the garbled text. There are many font bugs related to various fonts and various Adobe programs filed at Bugzilla. Looks like Adobe has some fixing to do with their Firefox / Netscape plugin.

    Are you trying to print from iPhoto on your Mac or iPad/iPhone? If you are trying to print form yor Mac, check, if the Print Products Store in the iPhoto Preferences > Advanced is set to U.K.
    Also the bimmling address, Delivery address, the country for your AppleID and Credit Card must all be in the same country. Check this document:

    Was your document (prior to becoming a PDF) scanned?
    If so, try this: OCR
    Let me know how that works out.

  • I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong.  How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

    I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong.  How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

    If I understand you correctly, when you enter a date in the Adjust Date and Time window, the picture does not update with the date you enter.  If that is the case then something is wrong with iPhoto or your perhaps your library.
    How large a date change are you putting in?  iPhoto currently has an issue with date changes beyond about 60 years at a time.  If the difference between the current date on the image and the date you are entering is beyond that range that may explain why this is not working.
    If that is not the case:
    Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.iphoto
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
    ---NOTE: to get to the "home > library" hold down option on the keyboard and click on "Go" > "Library" while in the Finder.
    Let me know the results.

  • Printer issue: All pages after first one come out horribly wrong.

    Install: Arch64
    Printer: Canon MP520
    Connection: USB
    Programs printed from: All
    Driver: AUR mp520 packages
    Problem start: recent... last couple of days
    Description: printer was working fine until I decided to print something a few days ago.  I was printing a resume and all the pages after the first (only 3 pages long) came out as if the data got corrupted during it's send to the printer... the first 10th of the page was repeated all the way down the page with large black squares in various places (patterned like the actual part of the page that was printed repeatedly down the sheet)... I have tested this and proven it is the second and all following pages in an individual print (if I print all 3 pages of this resume one at a time, back to back, they all print out in consecutive order with no errors... and I can put in the jobs so that they overlap and it "looks" like a single job). 
    If anyone is willing to help, ask any and every question necessary to get this figured out, cause it's bugging me like nothing else... it's a hassle to print each page individually (has the same effect when printing PDFs from epdfview as well as prints from within GIMP) and I'd like to have my printer back to normal.  Restarting the printer has not worked.  The only thing I can think that I haven't tried is restarting the desktop, but I have a VERY long data download (2 days in) that I'd sincerely hate to have to start over for this error, as it's more than halfway done at this point... so I'm saving that as a last resort to be tried after my download completes... if anyone can come up with some things to try while the comp stays up & online, that would be great... below is a list of things I've tried.
    Things I've tried:
    * restarting cups
    * restarting hal
    * restarting printer
    * physically removing and reconnecting printer
    all other suggestions are welcome.
    EDIT: almost forgot, cups.error is 0kb in size and completely empty, so no output to work with on that level, telling me the error may possibly be in the printer itself, but I'm not sure.

    interesting development... printing business cards with GIMP with Gutenprint and consecutive prints come out just fine (just did a set of 30)... how does this affect the problem that we are having with these printers?  Can people with other printers that have this same issue (canon as well as others) do a few tests with Gimp+Gutenprint to see if they experience different results (pretty sure 2 consecutive prints should be enough.  I'm guessing Gutenprint is a separate printing "engine" (I know, probably a bad term to use, but it's what came to mind) so I'm wondering what could be done as far as being able to use Gutenprint in other programs or what other possible solutions this info may present.
    Disclaimer: I'm probably showing my noob with this statement, cause I don't really know the details when it comes to printing in linux, but I'm still noting my experience nonetheless... and if I look a little "dumber" because of that, so be it!   Gotta learn somehow...

  • HT4356 When I try to print a pic from iPad to my HP air printer, it comes out all smeared and wet. What's wrong?

    When I try to print a pic from iPad to HP air printer, it comes out smeared and wet. What am I doing wrong?

    I can't swear to it, but it's probably a printer issue and I don't think it has anything to do with the iPad. Have you tried printing right from your computer?

  • Scan photo prints to iPhoto

    I have a lot of photo prints taken on old-fashioned film, before the days of digital.
    I have an HP Photosmart 5520 scanner/printer which has an option for Photo Preset. The default 'Resolution' setting is 200ppi. There are other options for 75,100,300,600,1200 or 2400 ppi.
    My first question is, which 'Resolution' setting should I choose ?
    The scanned size at 200 ppi for one print is 2.74MB. When sent to iPhoto its size is reduced to 1MB.
    Another apparent anomaly is that although the prints are all 6 inches x 4 inches, their 'info' in iPhoto can vary from anything between 1184 x 791 to 2292 x 1498, and in size from 322 KB to 985 KB.
    The digital photos I already have in iPhoto, nevertheless, are all 3888 x 2592 ; but the sizes vary eg from 3.4 MB to 6.1 MB.
    File > 'Get Info' for the scanned photos says they are JPEG images and 'color space' is RGB, which I understand is the requisite . . . Can  the foregoing re scanned and digital photos be explained ?
    Thanks in anticipation

    My first question is, which 'Resolution' setting should I choose ?
    Depends entirely what you're going to be doing with the Photos. Jpeg is a lossy format, so as you edit each time you save some data is lost. If they require intensive editing, then the more data the better. Are you going to print them? Depending on your devices and the quality you hope to achieve, then perhaps the old 300 dpi for printing is a reasonable rule-of-thumb. If you're uploading them to the internet, say flickr or whatever, then 100 is fine. So, it depends on your proposed usage.
    The scanned size at 200 ppi for one print is 2.74MB. When sent to iPhoto its size is reduced to 1MB
    iPhoto doesn't reduce the size of anything on import. Where are you seeing these sizes mentioned?
    Another apparent anomaly is that although the prints are all 6 inches x 4 inches, their 'info' in iPhoto can vary from anything between 1184 x 791 to 2292 x 1498, and in size from 322 KB to 985 KB.
    No anomaly here. Your computer has no "inches" everything is measured in pixels. So the fact that an image is 6x4 in the real world is of no relevance. What matters is the pixel dimensions you choose to digitise (or scan) it. You can create a scan of you 6 x 4  that will be 600 x 400 pixels. (@100dpi) Or you can as easily create one the will be 14,400 x 9,600 (@2,400 dpi)... In other words, don't expect a direct correlation between what you hold in your hand and what you make on the screen. They're different worlds...
    But again, iPhoto doesn't change anything on import, so I'd be looking at the scanner for explanations of these variations.
    As to the file size, remember not all pixels are the same. An image that is pure white or pure black will have a smaller file size than one of a richly coloured sunset, and will also depend onn the resolution you scan at - so again, no direct correlation, it's a complex equation.

  • Printing on Page Come Out Crooked

    Lately, anything I print comes out on a slant. I have checked all the tabs to keep the paper in place properly, and they are OK. But once it goes into the machine something makes the printing come out on a slant or crooked. Nothing is straight.
    It does not look like it's the paper that is shifting, since it comes out in the tray correctly, could the printing bar in side be off? worn out, broken in some way?
    I have no clue, but if I can't fix , it 's going in the dumpster today.

  • Transfer photo prints to iPhoto

    I have photo prints from old fashioned film rolls.
    If I scan them, can they be put into iPhoto Library, and if so, will they behave the same as any digital picture ?

    It is scanning to RGB:
    Color space : RGB
    Color profile : sRGB IEC61966-2.1
    If this as you explained, can I get it out of the A4 size white area it is set in, and will it perform as a standard photo if I want to print it off ?
    These are settings on your scanner. I would guess is that you've put a snap on the scanner and scanned. it has now scanned the shot and the whole scanner bed. Hence you get what looks like a white page with the snap in the csntre?
    If so, the best I can tell you ia to read the manual for the scanner. I can't advise you as I've never used a HP. But I'll bet that there is a facility to select just the snap to scan and not the whole bed, and that's what you are looking for.

  • Photo Printing With iPhoto

    iPhoto is a good program but it is practically useless for printing on small photo paper. I use "Film Factory OS X" which I think came with my Epson R300 printer.

    Hi David,
    I use Easy Photo-Print which came with my Canon Printer. I actually think the software that comes with the Printers are easier and pretty good because they were made for the Printer.
