Size of paper?

Hi!
I'm doing a program in wich I wan't to be able to print the contents of a JPanel. I have some graphics on this JPanel but the problem is when I print only a part of the JPanel comes out. So therefore I need to know the size of the paper in pixels to be able to adjust the size of the JPanel so that it fits the paper. How do I get the size of the paper in pixels?

Isn't there a .getSize() method?
A bit of googling got me this far:
void GetSize( Image, NumberVariable width, NumberVariable height)
Gets the dimensions of the image and stores them in the variables width, height.
arguements
image: The image whose dimensions will be stored.
width, height: The variables where the image dimensions will be stored
Dunno if it's of any help

Document Size v Paper Size

I am using Acrobat Pro 8 with a HP 3050 all in one. I am attempting to print two forms I created from scanned images (that have form fields) that are irregular sizes. I am only printing the form fields and not the scanned image, so my print setting is set to "form fields only". However, my form fields are not aligning with the documents I am feeding through the printer and I've noticed that there is a "document" size and "paper" size of two different sizes in the printer dialog box and have no idea why.
For example, at the bottom right of the print dialog box, the paper size says 7.0" x 3.4" (the correct/actual size) but the document size is saying 7.5 x 3.9 (not sure where this size is coming from). When I use the rulers to measure it in Acrobat, it says 7.0" x 3.4", yet when I print it out, the text is out of alignment and treating the document as if it is 7.5 x 3.9. The same thing happens with another document that I'm attemping to do the same thing with. In the print dialog box, the document size is saying 5.5" x 3.1" and the paper size is saying 5.8 x 3.9.
Is there any way to over ride or change this? I suspect it's somehow due to the HP print driver. If there's an alternative to accomplish what I'm doing, I'm open to any suggestions. I am using preprinted forms that I'd like to have fed in the printer. I don't necessarily want to re-create them in InDesign or Illustrator (I originally scanned the forms using Acrobat).
Thank you.

@Bill@VT - Sorry, that didn't work with either form I'm using. It is not allowing me to enter a custom size. It is
defaulting to a 8x13 (custom) size.

HP OFFICEJET 7110 CUSTOM-SIZE PAPER

I have two questions....
1- I want to print in a custom-sized paper that have the same A3 paper width.... but an AO paper length (29,7cm 1,18cm) .., and I can't add any kind of custom sized paper... is ther any way I can do that?
2- I read that the software for custom sized paper is only available por mac OS X, why!???, please make it possible for Windows!
thanks!

Hello there, Welcome to the Forums! I hope you enjoy your experience
I saw your post about trying to print on a custom paper size. Below is a link to the printer specifications for your Officejet 7110. Please check the specs to see if the printer supports the size you are trying to use.
The second link below is instructions on how to add an alternate print driver that might give you the option to print in custom sizes. I suggest trying it out to see if that helps!

How can I custom size photo paper to 11" x 14" in PSE 11?

I have a Canon PRO-10 printer. I made the custom size change to 11 x 14 in the driver's printer properties, but it does not show up as a choice when I open the dropdown in PSE 11. Is there no way to use custom size paper in PSE 11? What am I doing wrong?

I don't have PSEv.11, in v.8 I do the following ---I doubt that they have changed this:
In full Editor, go to File>print
In the dialog that comes up, #3Paper size, from drop-down select Custom size
Next, #5 Print size select Custom in drop-down
This opens the "More Options" dialog>custom Print size tab. Here you can enter the dimensions.
There is also a "More Options" label one can click towards the bottom left in the print dialog - same thing, just different way to get there
Note: It's best to crop to specification prior to sending to the printer. In your hypothetical, crop to 11x14.
This way you are in control, not the printer.

ETA or info on new book size and paper stock options, etc.

I don't know if printing services do or would coincide with product updates, and therefore we should expect these to come with a product update or not, but does anyone have any idea if there will ever be additional book sizes, paper stock and/or cover options for the books printed from Aperture?
I've printed four books from Aperture, and they make decent keepsakes, but I'd really like to step up to thicker paper stock and cover options like leather.
Is any of this in the works?
Thanks,
Brad

Yes I have dealt with and bought plenty from them -- yes they are very secret, hence, my question. It doesn't make it easy on someone trying to plan.

Small size (A6) paper printing and toner leak(pouring out) issue

We have recently purchased 15 pieces of Hp LaserJet P1102w.
We are printing reciepts of size A6 (1/4 of A4). The use of printers are quite heavy - 200 A6 pages per day.(And no other formats)
After a month of usage we are expiriencing a huge problem. (Now it has been 5 printers in period of 3 weeks):
In Some random printers the toner is pouring out. First inside of the printer and then on the table (there is a convinient opening at the bottom). This happens on one side of the cartridge. And the affected drum is heavily dirty on that side.
We checked all kind of possible causes:
The retailer pointed us to this link, that states: "
HP does not recommend printing large quantities of small or narrow paper. Printing large quantities of small or narrow paper can cause toner to leak from the print cartridge and damage the printer or cause print-quality problems."
but this is for HP LaserJet 4200, 4300 Series Printers
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:vGQOfpKgjmUJ:h20564.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hps...
My question is: is it true that heavy printing of small paper size can cause this problem? And how probable is it?
What else could have caused this?
Thank You

How can I set up printer for "Other" sizes of paper? Example 4.5"x12"

Printer HP Deskjet 3050. I have labels on a template for Corel Draw. I can set the 4.5x12 size in the graphic program but can't find the setup for "Other" sizes in the printer setup. It doesn't even cover labels.

I don't know what operating system or driver version you are using but try this:
Click on the Windows Start button and select Control Panel.
In Control Panel, go to Printers.
Right click on your printer and select Printing Preferences
Click on the Features tab.
Look for a Paper Size drop down box. One of the selections should be Custom and you should be able to specify your dimensions there.

so it knows to print 2 notecards to a page and how to place them.
Thanks
-Jeff (frustrated) in NYC

Hi Jeff,
I've tried the "thank you" template to check this out, hope it's the same set up - (two copies per page), as you.
Go > print
below "pre-sets" (again my printer)
click on any arrow to open menu
select "layout"
select two copies per page - also when here, other variables
There is, in my printer menu, (below pre-sets) a "paper handling" selection which lets me choose which paper size to print on.
Hope it's some help,
Robert

Strange size of paper on PDF files

Firt : sorry for my poor english, i am french...
Well, i create a A4 page with Illustrator CS3. If i save it as a PDF file, i get a A4 PDF file, everything is Ok. But if i print it with Adobe Distiller 8 through the Ai dialog box with A4 selected for the size (and no resizing), i get a A4 PDF file with my artwork reduced at 50% in the center of the page...
I tested another Distiller print with XPress7 and a A4 page is OK, no problem.
It happens only with illustrator.
In the dialog box, if i dont choose A4 but "defined by the driver" - (i don't know how to translate that in english, let's say i dont select any size and let the driver manage this), i get a good A4 PDF with the right size of artwork...
What can i do ?

I found the solution : (not me in fact but another Mac user on another forum (Apple).
Well the culpit is a tiny file hidden in the system.
I give you the text i found :
" it appears to be a problem in the file located at:   /usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstops   If you copy that file from a working 10.5.4 installation then it should work. At least it does for me. Your mileage may vary, I'm not responsible, etc.   The easiest (and likely safest) way to do this is to download the 10.5.4 combo update from Apple.  http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1054comboupdate.html   And Pacifist:  http://www.charlessoft.com/   1) Mount the combo update DMG and open the .pkg file using Pacifist.  2) Navigate down to /usr/libexec/cups/filter/  3) click on pstops and hit "install" on the top left  4) enter your password  5) hit replace   That's it. Keep in mind I've only tested it on my main box, but I don't see why it shouldn't work for everyone else.   This likely will not break your install in case Apple comes out with a fix. If you're worried then just backup your 10.5.5 pstops file. (hit Command-G, enter /usr/libexec/cups/filter/ and copy the pstops file somewhere safe (or just rename a copy in the current location). You _may_ have to repair your permissions. "
In fact i just used Onyx to see the invisible files of the system and i did copy pstops from an old system archive to my 10.5.5 AND IT WORKS !
No more problem.

Setting size of paper during print

Hi
I have two printers attached to the system, one is the regular printer and the other is a barcode printer. I changed the default setting of the barcode printer through windows, and I am calling the print dialog through my java code. When I select the barcode printer through the print dialog and hit the properties button, it shows me a different setting than the one I setted through start ->setting ->controlPanel->printer
Is there a way to get the same setting in the print dialog.
Could any one please help
Thanks

   PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
   PageFormat printPageFormat = printJob.defaultPage();
   Paper printPaper = printPageFormat.getPaper();
   Rectangle printArea = printPaper.getImageableArea();should give for example a [28, 28, 538, 785] rectangle, which takes into account the paper margins.
Hope this helped,
Regards.

HP LaserJet MFP M476dw paper size mismatch when copying or scanning from ADF

We have HP Color LaserJet MFP M476dw that has an issue when copying or scanning from the ADF.
Put a single A4 sheet in the ADF and choose copy, with all settings correct & no resizing, and the output copy is moved down the page (increased top marging by a couple of inches).
My initial thoughts were a paper size issue (e.g. treating A4 as Letter or vice versa) but all settings look correct. I have even done a reset and started over and the problem remains.
If I take the original and place it on the flatbed and copy from there with all the same settings then it works fine.
There is a similar issue when scanning from the ADF. Again, scanning from the flatbed works fine.
I've tried all I can think of. Does anyone have any further suggestions? Could it be a fault in the ADF?

How can I select paper size while in print preview ?

I have a printer with four different paper trays, and each one is loaded with different size of paper: A3, A4, Legal, envelopes. When I use IE 11, I can easy go to print preview, click on page setup (little gear icon), select paper size , margins, etc.. there, and when i hit OK, the page is adjusted to the settings I selected and its ready to print, and printer selects the proper size of the paper automatically
In Firefox v32, I can almost do this same, but I'm stuck with printing only on A4 style paper, as I don't see where to select the paper I want to print on !
I tried to select A3 and legal paper in the printer driver, but then firefox used the selected paper, but printout on the paper came out as set to A4 size, and rest of the page was empty ! Also I was not able to see the page preview of the selected paper either. How do I then print on other size papers than a4 ?
I found only one workaround which does not suits my needs but works: First: Go to printer driver and select legal or A3 paper as default, and then open firefox. If I do that i can print on any paper I select, but thats a horrible workaround, because then I often forget to change the default paper size back inside the printer driver, and i print my documents on wrong paper, wasting paper, ink and time...
Please let me know if there is a way to fix this printing feature somehow.
Thanks.

MichalB,
Sorry, IMO there is no real "fix" for what you are experiencing. Printer prefs set or changed in the operating system won't affect Firefox printing ''[IMO, either ancient code in Firefox or a "cross-browser thing".]'' Firefox has its' own settings for prefs and it defaults to the "last used" for all printer preference setting. And there is no way to set a pref as "use now and return to my defaults after this print job is completed".
As you have found out, there is no way of changing paper size from the Print Preview screen. Other prefs - Margins & Header/Footer can be changed via Page Setup and you can see changes in the Preview window, but not for paper size. As ''CoryMH'' mentioned, '''paper size''' is selected thru what called the "native print dialog" box using the '''Properties''' button which shows a window provided by your printer software for the Printer which is selected in the "native print dialog" window, and accessed after you hit the Print button in the Print Preview screen.
Problem is that you can't '''"preview"''' what is going to be printed when you change paper size. If you go back to Print Preview without printing from the "native print dialog" the change for Paper Size isn't saved for viewing in Print Preview!
IMO, it would be nice if Firefox recognized each "tray" as a separate printer, so that a user could set Margins & Header/Footer prefs AND paper size per tray. IOW, a feature sort of writing a completely new print module that would reflect "today's" environment with multiple tray printers; rather than to continue using the print module that was built by Netscape back in '94 - '95, which we are stuck with almost 20 years later.
''As I sit here shaking my head after composing this reply, wondering why the issues I had back in 2002 with printing from Firefox / Firebird / Phoenix haven't been corrected in the last 14 years.''
''I do like "old stuff", and have a vehicle sitting my driveway that rolled out of the showroom 30 years ago come October 1 - a 35th birthday present I purchased for myself. [85 Corolla GTS TwinCam coupe - aka Sprinter in GTA] But as far as computer software, I prefer it to be compatible with hardware made in this century.''

Unable to figure out paper sizes in PSE 9...

Hi, I am trying to print a 4x6 photo... when I click print the pse print window opens and asks to select: printer, paper size & print size. I don't know what paper sizes they are offering, ex: KG, KG.NMg, PhotoPaper2L, PhotoPaper2L.NMgn, PhotoPaperRoll, PhotoPaperRollNMgn, etc.... ?? When I select these and try to print my 4x6, my image is cut off the edge. What are these paper sizes? and what should I select to print a standard 4x6 photo? Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your reply, "no margin" is probably right, but still unsure what the sizes are. I don't know why'd they be metric. Other options on the list were the standard: a4, letter, legal, 8x10in (that looks like a photo size), and some other ones I've never seen before: HiVision 102x180 , Env10 (guessing envelope size), A6.Maximum (??), and Halfletter. These are the selection for the window for PSE9.... once I move to the next window (after selecting print on the pse window)... my printer window comes up and all is well, though there is not a place to select paper size, just paper type (glossy, etc). Very frustrating to waste so much costly photo paper.

Custom paper size - seems scaled for A4

Hi,
I'm trying to print on the front of a card which when unfolded is 15cm x 30cm.
I've made a PDF in Inkscape (page size matches paper dimensions) and opened it in Preview.
I set a custom paper size of 15 x 30cm for my printer (Samsung ML-2010) in the page setup dialogue. The scaling set to 100%. When I print preview everything looks fine.
However, when I print it seems to be scaled for a much larger page and the text is much larger than original and runs off the page. If I print it onto an A4 sheet everything fits but the text is still larger than intended.
Any ideas on what's going wrong?

Unfortunately I don't seem to have that Scale to Fit option... just the usual Scale bit below the orientation (in Page setup) which I currently have at 100%.

Choose paper source by PDF page size

I print on different sizes of paper. I am trying to get this function to print to the correct tray on our printer, but it is not working. If I print out a legal or 11x17 size document with this option checked, it prints out on letter size paper with a tiny image in the upper left hand corner. Help, anybody? Being able to do this would save me quite a bit of time, instead of having to change the size in the printer properties every time.

A legal sized document should not be printing "in a tiny corner" of a
letter sized paper, no matter what combination of options are chosen.
It might print at the correct size, and be cut off, or be scaled down
to fit; these are the only two proper results.
So, this is probably the thing to fix first.
What happens if you explicitly choose legal sized paper in printer
setup and print the legal sized PDF files?
