[SOLVED] Printer prints wrong size from GIMP

Dear friends,
I have a printer HP Photosmart 5520.
I set up the printer with the HP Device Manager.
I like to use GIMP to print a file with exact measurements, which is an image on the paper which is 12cm in width, the page is A4, so is my printer.
Once I print, it will be only 11,1cm on the paper. I tried borderless print, which is 11,5cm then.
When I print with GIMP with Gutenprint, the size is 12cm.
When I print with Photoshop in WINE, its 12cm.
Problem with GIMP Gutenprint and Wine is: I cannot adjust print quality.
Any idea?
Thank you.

I removed the HP Device Manager, installed it again, went through all settings again, now its working, not sure what the problem was.

  • 13 x 19 print is incorrect size from InDesign or from pdf.

    For the life of me, I can't get my 13 x 19 print to be the correct size from InDesign or from pdf with Canon Pixma mark 2 9000. Paper size is correct in InDesign, Presets are correct, but without fail, it shrinks my pages by about 10-15% .... driving me crazy, I have no idea why this is happening all of a sudden after changing computers.
    Using Mac OS X
    InDesign CC
    Printing straight form CC nor straight from Canon printer; same wrong size results even through everything is set correctly.
    The InDesign print dialogue box does not show the CC presets.
    Print preview with image no longer appears.
    The only clue I can find: when I print from Acrobat, and under the print dialoge, it has the option to "choose paper source by pdf page size". when I click on this, it actually shows that the page size is smaller than what it actually is... and prints it according to this, even though, I DID NOT click on this option.
    Ideas??

    weex,
    Even though you believe you have the settings correct, I suspect you don't.  It would bebetter to have more info but what is the image size on the screen?  If you have 'maintain size' selected it will decide what size to print for instance.  What paper type are you using as some paper will not allow you to print to the edges.  Even though you may not have color out that far.

  • PDF is the wrong size from framemaker 8

    I am trying to create a PDF from Framemaker 8. The page size of the doc is US letter (216mm x 279mm)
    I am tring to change this to A4 (210mm x 297mm). Margins or extra white space is not an issue.
    Not matter what setting I change in Framemaker 8, either in the print dialog under "PDF setup" or in "Setup"
    where I am changing everything to A4 my PDF generates as 210mm x 279mm
    I have tried various job options and but still the PDF is the wrong size
    FYI I am using Frame 8/Distiller 9..

  • Mac Mini envelopes printing full page size from contacts

    Good day.
    So here’s my story.
    In early summer I printed out enveoples form "Address Book" for our wedding invitations from a Macbook pro 2.16 GHz running 10.6.8. Everything worked out perfectly.
    I then got a Mac Mini 2.7 GHz Core i7  for a wedding gift and I did a data migration from my Macbook Pro to the mac Mini. It was running 10.8.5 and is now running the latest version or Maverics. The printer I used for both envelope printing jobs, an HP CM1415fnw color MPF has also been updated to the latest software version.
    The problem I am having is that the Mac mini will NOT print envelopes in the custom envelope size, it always prints full page. It has done this since the data migration form the Macbook Pro running "Address Book" to the Mac Mini 10.8 running "Contacts". I thought is was an operating system issue so I waited for the new OS Maverics.  I did another print out from both computers tonight to see if the issue had resoleved it's self. NOPE. I even do a print preview on the mini which loads up Preview and it shows the custom size, though it prints out full page
    All settings on both computers are the same for the custom envelope size.
    Anyone know how I can fix the paper size issue?
    Thanks for anyhelp I get

    Hi Rodger_
    Thank you for the additional information, it was helpful.
    I was speaking with one of my colleagues and we would like you to try the following steps. Once you have completed the steps please try printing again.
    1)    Please reset your printing system, I have included a document on how to do this. Please be aware that this reset deletes all print settings and pending print jobs from your Mac.
    2)    In the "Printers & Scanners" please click on the '+' and choose "Add another printer or scanner from the options (see screen shot)
    3)    Choose your Laserjet CM1415fnw and at the bottom where it says "USE" please change it to the HP Laserjet (see screen shot) instead of AirPrint

  • How do I print a custom size from Photoshop CS3?

    I am using Photoshop CS3 with System 10.6 Snow Leopard, and I am printing on an Epson Stylus Photo R2000. The custom paper size is 8.5 x 14 inches. When I print the page the design appears to have expanded beyond the paper size. I need to make a borderless print, so I can't just shrink the image. What do I need to do?

    There should be a Custom Size setting for your Printer in the Photoshop Print dialog: Page Setup > Paper Size > Manage Custom Sizes.

    Hello elknas,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand you are looking to print A3 from your Samsung tablet using the Officejet 7610. I was able to take a look at the Samsung tablet we have in office, this paper size is not an option within.

  • When I try to print a photo downloaded from Facebook in iPhoto, I can't get the size I specify to print correctly. Example: 5x7 prints smaller than 5x7. What do I do to solve this problem?

    When I try to print a photo downloaded from Facebook in iPhoto, I can't get the size I specify to print correctly. Example: 5x7 prints smaller than 5x7. What do I do to solve this problem?

    Those pixel dimemsions have aspect ratios that are not the same as a 5 x7 print:
    1360 x 1360 = 1.0
    790 x 640 = 1.23
    2048 x 1366 = 1.5
    An 7 x 5 image = 1.4.
    So you'll need to crop the images to 5 x 7 before printing.  The first two images are a little light in the pixels to produce a high resolution 5 x 7 print. 
    Happy Holidays

  • Printing to PDF: prints the wrong page size and orientation

    I am trying to print a simple 60 page document composed of 8 x 11 inch pages to a pdf. I want the pdf in spreads, so that 2 8x11 inch pages in portrait orientation will be next to each other as a spread. Each time I try to print, the pdf comes out in the wrong orientation or the wrong size or both. When I export it to a pdf, it is the right orientation and page size, but the file size is way too large. So how do I fix this annoying problem? I have tried adjusting the print setup but it still won't print right. This seems like a simple operation, but indesign has been giving me trouble with this for weeks. I should mention I'm using CC. Thank you.

    Go to the AdminUI ( http://<servername>:<port>/adminui ), and to Services, PDF Generator.  Pick File Type Settings, and click on the Standard entry.  If you pop open the HTML to PDF section, you can edit the size, margins, orientation, headings and footers, site recursion, and pdf initial view settings.  <br /><br />Save your settings as a new Filetype (you can make as many as you want), and pass the name the filetype as the second parameter to the call to the htmlToPDF method on the web service client.<br /><br />http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/es/sdkHelp/programmer/javadoc/com/adobe/livecycle/g eneratepdf/client/GeneratePdfServiceClient.html<br /><br />I am unfamiliar with interacting directly with the web services via SOAP, so if you are not using the pre-built GeneratePdfServiceClient supplied by Adobe and this information does not solve your issue you will need to see if anybody else can help.  I imagine that there is a similar String parameter where you place the Filetype name defined in the AdminUI.<br /><br />(edit: I should mention, the GeneratePdf service is a part of PDF Generator ES, not Output ES, so you may have better luck in the general Livecycle ES forum)

  • "Wrong Size" in and Unavilable Pulldowns in LR  Prints in PS

    I have successfully printed in LR before but this time I'm running into weird problems. I tried printing an A3 size print (11.7 x 16.5) Landscape in LR, set the paper size to A3 (Retain Size, Maximum). I noticed that the cell size in LR read 11.92 for the Height even though the paper itself is only 11.7.
    I tried printing anyway, my Epson Stylus 4800 Pro started its printing routine but then stopped and gave me a dialog box saying the paper size was wrong. I changed the cell Height to 11.5 and the same thing happened. Refuses to print because paper size is wrong, which it says on my Epson's screen.
    Also, when I was setting up the job and pulled down the menu to ensure that Color Management was off, that choice was lined-out along with Paper Config, Roll Paper Option, and Expansion. When I selected one of those, a dialog popped up saying that Seiko/Epson didn't include these options in the software. I know that's not true because I've used them before.
    So I sent the file to Edit in PS, sized the photo, and printed it out with no problem. The items which were lined-out were not lined-out in PS.
    I'm got Mac Pro, 10.5.6 OS, and my Epson Stylus Pro 4800. And as I said, I've successfully printed other sizes before in LR.
    Has anyone had this happen to them and/or do you have any idea what is going on?

    Your suggestion of switching to 32 bit solved the pulldown items being lined-out. Also now can print without the dialog box telling me that the size is too large.
    However, now that I've added a number of changes with the Adjustment Brush, LR has slowed down to an unacceptably slow crawl. When I've tried using the Graduated Filter tool, LR is so slow that when I try to move or rotate the gradient I can't reliably see the adjustment for so long that I can't reliably use it.
    I'm using a Mac Pro with 2 x 3.2 GHz Quad- Core Intel Xeon, 16 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM. I've read postings here regarding similar slowness issues with LR, but is what I'm experiencing "normal" for this release of LR? If so, it is a sad commentary on the quality of the product.

  • Eprint printed .doc with a wrong size!!

    my printer is C310a
    when i printed my  A4 .doc document, it printed out with a wrong size and it's all of them are bigger than the actual size!
    Please help me to slove this.

    Hi jefferl,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums.  I understand that when printing a .doc type document with your Photosmart C310a printer, that the font of document seems to be larger than requested.
    The font and its size are set by the program you are using and/or the program used to create the document. If you need to change the font and its size open the document in a program where you can edit the font. Mostly likely this document would have been created using Microsoft Word or Microsoft WordPad and you can use either of them to modify the font size.

  • Wrong size printing

    HP 2570 Photosmart
    Running windows XP
    No messages
    No known changes
    The past two days, my HP 2570 has been printing certain files the wrong size.  I have a graphics design program (basically line art) which is supposed to print my design at actual size.  The design has a background of a 1" by 1" grid. 
    Until recently, I have had no problems.  Now, when I try to print a design, the print preview shows the image as it should appear, but the printed image is reduced to about 87% of the actual size.  This is easy to verify - I measure the spacing of the grid lines - they are 7/8" apart. 
    I printed the same design on two different days, and the two printed images are NOT the same size. 
    The only thing which I can find which seems unusual is that when I look at the printer driver details, I find FIVE different files.  They are:
    C:\\windows\system32\drivers\serscan.sys
    .....................................hpotiop2.dll
    .....................................hpovst09.dll
    .....................................hpowiamd.dll
    .....................................hpzc3212.dll
    Any ideas?

  • How to print from GIMP to a Canon i860

    Hello
    I have searched the forums for this answer with no luck.... so either I am blind, or.... I don't know. This seems like this should be so easy to do.
    I am trying to print from GIMP 2.2.10. I am using Mac OS-X 10.4.6. The printer is a Canon i860 inkjet, connected via USB to an iBook G4. I can print from any of the other applications, including from OpenOffice 2.0. I have downloaded and intalled the Canon IJ driver 415.
    I can not find a good driver to use when I print from GIMP.
    I can get it to print using Postscript 2 by removing -oraw and -l from the Command line in the printer setup (I set it to "lp -s -di860")
    When I print from GIMP using the Postscript 2 setting, I can not change the Media Type to indicate Matte paper, or Glossy, etc. Nor can I change the resolution, etc. It does however print.
    I have tried some of the other Canon Drivers listed in the GIMP print setup dialogue, but nothing seems to work - that is nothing even gets sent to the printer (I have the spooler window open so I can monitor). None of them are for the i860 specifically.
    Any suggestions? Even just a place to start looking?
    Thanks in Advance

    In MAC, I want to change document size from 8.5X11 to 18X24 to create a poster to print through Staples. I created the doc originally in WORD, changed the size in WORD, converted to PDF doc. But PDF doc is still in 8.5X11. Read ADOBE support help info. Terls me to change size in application rather than printer. BUT ACROBAT Pro does not give me a page set up option in FILE. I can only find one in the printer dialog box. Help!

    from the FAQs on Staples website:
    I have a file that I know is a PDF, but the website claims it is not in a PDF format. What should I do?
    Check to see that the file has the .PDF extension. Also, check that the filename does not have any special characters such as an ampersand (“&”).
    Regarding your measurements set to centimeters rather than inches; is it just in MS Word?
    Or does it occur in all other applications.
    Check your Work preferences first:
    If it is happening in all your applications, check your Mac OS System Preferences.

  • Change Printer Default Page size to A4 from Letter in Firefox

    Firefox overides printer default page size every time I print. I need Firefox to print to A4 but it automatically sets the Page size to Letter. I have to manualy change the size each time I print.
    There are no options in Firefox to change this setting permanently. I am running the latest version of Firefox on Windows XP.
    In control panel the default page size is set to A4 which Internet Explorer and other applications use correctly.
    Thanks,

    I solved it! For anyone having a similar problem try this.
    Change the default printer, choose another one.
    Change something in that printer and close firefox.
    Reopen firefox and choose yet another printer (not the first one).
    Change something in that printer and close firefox again.
    Reopen firefox and choose the first printer. Select A4 as default paper and close firefox one last time.
    Reopen firefox and the problem should be gone. Weird, innit?
