TC problem printing large photos

I have a canon mp530 hooked up to the usb port on my 1gig TC. It prints documents fine, but whenever I send a picture file to be printed, it begins to print but stops just a few seconds into it. After a while, the printer just ejects the unfinished document. I tried hooking up my computer via ethernet to see if it was a speed issue as the picture is rather large, but the same problem occurs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a similar problem with my Canon MP830.
Direct USB works fine, but printing thru AEBS, large document just stops.

I am suddenly having a problem printing 4x6 photos. The print as though starting in the middle of an 8x10 sheet. I've checked and double-checked the print settings. Anyone else have this problem?

Print large photo

I have not been able to print a photo from my 8x10 paper tray. It always reverts to the photo tray which only accepts 4x6 photos. I need to be ble to print larger photos.
This question was solved.

Hi,
Which operating system and printer? It sounds like you need to set the print preferences for the printer. If you are in Windows, right click on the printer icon in the printers folder and select printing preferences. Within that menu you can specify size and tray options . Also make sure that the application you are printing from mirros the correct size and tray settings.

Error printing large photo to HP Officejet K8600 when using PSE7

I am running PSE7 on a Toshiba laptop using XP home SP3. I have 1.5 gb of memory. I have a large color photo scanned in that is 14x10. I tried printing it out using MS Office Picture manager and HP photo essentials. Neither program would allow for the custom size photo on the 13x19 paper that I have. The best they could do was make the photo larger to fit the paper which made the picture slightly fuzzy. So I purchased PSE7 thinking that this good product would allow custom print sizes.
The page setup and print commands seem to do everything I want. The print screen shows how the picture should look centered on the larger paper. When I send it to print with the print spooler on the 277 mb photo goes completely to the spooler without going to the printer. After waiting a short while it sends a second copy of the photo to the print spooler and even though the print documents window only shows one document it shows 2/1 in the page column and robs another 277 mb of memory. This continues indefinitely without ever printing. I stop it when it gets to the sixth send (6/1) and is now using of 2 gb forcing the computer into virtual memory.
I decided to eliminate spooling and send directly to the printer without spooling. It almost worked but, but half way through the print a 1 1/2 inch wide blank stripe the full height of the picture (10") is in the middle of the picture (in other words: that part of the picture is missing). I tried a second time thinking maybe there was a memory hiccup. The second time the first quarter of the picture is cut off and there is a 3/4" wide stripe in what would have been the middle.
The picture prints out using other programs just not in the custom size. Of course, HP support tells me it is an Adobe problem and since it doesn't occur with other programs I tend to agree. One final note: When the picture goes to print it tells me that certain postscript commands will be stript out since the printer does not support postscript.
Has anyone had success printing large pictures to the HP Officejet K8600?

PSE 9 Problem Printing Multiple Photos

I am unable to properly print multiple photos in V9. For example if I select a single photo and select my paper size as 81/2x11 and try to print 5 copies of the photo in 3 1/2 x 5 size - the preview screen only shows a single photo and it shows it will only use one page. If I print it, the photo is printed one time on 5 pages. I have included a screen shot. The same thing happens if I print multiple copies of multiple photos. I know there is an option under more options to only print one photo per page but it is not selected. Even if it was selected the preview should show that 4 pages would print. I have duplicated this on more then one computer. This is a serious bug and makes printing from PSE useless. This started after I installed a recent upgrade.

I would like to add my experience with printing. As per the previous comments I have also used Elements since the first version and have undergone many upgrades, so believe I am qualified to make these observations. I have always used Elements to manage printing for our art and photographic business and have never had any issue and very little waste, very important when the paper and inks cost so much.
It would seem that the printing from Editor works much as I would expect.
Printing from Organiser does not work as it should. I have always used this for printing greeting cards and other multiple print options and would expect to set for individual prints to a specific size with a number of copies per page.
Observations of print problems:
Only one image per image selected appears in the preview window.
The preview window does not update to indicate multiple pages will be printed where more than one page worth is chosen.
Only one image is printed per page.
Images requested print one to a page, so in my case three pages for one image 'Use each photo' set to three.
In the 'More Options' is a tick box to select one image per page, this is not selected.
At this stage popped up a message stating Organiser is unable to print and will skip this page. The printer then prints 3 blank pages this being the number selected.
I am pleased to say that returning to PSE7 to check my facts I find it does exactly what I would expect, the preview page fills up with the number of images selected to print.
I would like to know if Adobe will be pursuing this issue as I have no use for PSE9 if it can't print as per previous versions.

Problems printing one photo multiple times on a single page

Im trying to print multiple photos on a page so as to not waste paper. I have a 4 X 6 photo and want to print 2, 3X3 photos on the page. If you follow the HELP directions which are
Choose FILE > Print, Select paper Size, in my case 4X6. click on customize, Click Settings button then choose "Multiple of the same photo per page"
The "Multiple photo per page" option is grayed out. After troubleshooting it appears the software is telling me that two 3X3 photos cant fit in a 4X6 inch wide space and wont let me try. I was able to get around the problem by printing two 2.9 inch photos.
The software should be friendlier - Allow me to print 2 photos that are a exact fit to the paper. If the photo needs to be adjusted the software should do the adjustments in the background.
If Im having a problem here Im sure others are too.

Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
Note that this is NOT a reporting path to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback to do that
No one but us users here - and I do not see a question in your post - just a rant and how you found a work around
Note that in general you DO NOT want software to change your specs - if you need a 3"x3" print you do not want the software to change it to 2.9" x 2.9" in the background - if it can not do what you requested then not doing it and having you adjust the request is the most appropriate path IMHO

Problems printing - Epson Photo 2200

I'm having problems printing to my Epson photo 2200. I'm running Mac OS X version 10.4.11. I notice that in the print window there are no longer options for color management, as in to turn it off. The problem I am having is when printing the images come out dark or the colors are just way off. I've tried all I can think of. I'm not a computer guy. I mainly print from Adobe Photoshop 7.0. I've tried different things but it comes down to the fact I don't have the same print screen that they show me and I can't turn off the color management, which may be the problem.
Has anyone else have tis problem?
I need help!!

Welcome to the forums VW!
Many have similar problems, but when you go to Print, look for the Copies & Pages drop down, select Color Sync and see if it's there. Some drivers will have it under Printer Options, or such things.

Problems printing photoshop photos

Recently I have developed issues printing photos from my machine. The problems started when I installed my new Canon Pixma printer. Photos would appear perfect on my monitors (which are regularly calibrated with a ColorMunki) but when I would go to print them from lightroom they would appear very very dark. I tried then printing from windows and had the same problem. What is exceptionally strange is that, when I go to print from windows, the print preview actually shows the problem:
The image (when printed for the first time) will apear properly in the print preview for maybe a second, and then suddenly go dark.
The particularly odd thing is that his only seems to occur with photos produced with photoshop or lightroom. As a test I printed two pictures I had recieved from an online newsletter. One printed fine. The other did not. It turns out (by looking at the photo properties) one had been produced using photoshop, and the other had not. I have attempted to turn off printer color management on the canon, but it had no effect. I also now have the same problem when printing from the epson printer on my system.
I am running Windows 7 64. I have an Epson Artisan and Canon Pixma printer installed on my machine. Previous to the problem I had the Epson and an HP photosmart. I have been in contact with Canon customer support, and they seem unwilling to entertain the possibility that this is anything other than an Adobe issue. Any thoughts? I'm just about all out of ideas.
Thanks in advance.

I primarily print from one of three programs. Lightroom and Window's photo viewer, and on occation PrintMaster (when printing a digital scrapbook). The problem mostly occurs in Lightroom and Windows, though strangely printing from Printmaster even comes out slightly darker. The screen grab from above is using the windows photo viewer.
I have attempted upon printing to go into the print dialogue and disable any color correction:
This has provided no change whatsoever as well.
Again, the problem only occurs with photos produced by adobe software. As an experiment I took a picture I took from the Renaissance Faire that I processed through Lightroom. I then stuck that in PrintMaster and exported it. I changed nothing.
Here they are side by side:
Here are the print results:
The problem even occurs with photos not produced on my machine. Canon sent a test photo for me to print. A look in the properties showed it to be processed by Photoshop CS5. Same results. Overly dark.
When printing from lightroom, I print with "managed by printer" selected. In this case I have left the canon print settings at auto, manual with "driver driven" and these did not help. Changing to manual with ICM set with an input profile of "Adobe RGB (1998)" This print printed close, but was a little light. I also tried disabling the driver settings again, took lightroom off the printer managed setting, and set lightroom to "Canon IJ Color Printer Profile 2005" This produced the best print yet.
However, the problem I'm having is that when printing from Windows Photo Viewer I STILL get that same darkening, not matter what I do to the print settings. And the problem persists with the Epson printer as well. So, I feel like I'm making progress, but there is still something messed up. Idylically, I would like to be able to let the printer drivers do their thing, as I have in the past, but something seems to be getting in their way.

Problems printing cropped photos

Having cropped ~4x6 from a large photo, E11 will only print ~ 1/2 onto a 4x6. What to do?
(thread title edited by forum host)

Which OS and from which app (Organizer or Editor) you are trying to Print ?
If that is Organizer, please see that you have settings as: 'Paper size-Letter', 'Type of print-Individual print', Select print size-4x6 and 'crop to fit' option is unchecked. Please let me know if that doesn't work for you.

Problem publishing large photo albums

I'm using iWeb (iLife'08) to create several a photo gallery: there is a page with the gallery showing all the albums, and each album has 100 to 200 pictures. The albums were created in iPhoto and "inserted" into iWeb using iWeb's media tools.
Publishing to .Mac has been very frustrating: 1st time I created the entire site, with 10 albums (2000+ pictures all together) and a couple of regular text pages. When I tried to publish iWeb took forever, went into working in the background and eventually came back with an error about not being able to connect to .Mac and to check my internet connection. Needless to say I checked it and it was all good: able to login, plenty of iDisk space available, etc.
2nd time I decided to start with just one album in the gallery. This time it worked. I started adding (to iWeb) one album at a time and then publishing "changes". It takes some time but it works. However, if I change anything in one album (already published) and add a new album iWeb will again take forever just to come back with an error about the connection to .Mac.
is there a practical limit to the size of albums in iWeb? Should I use iPhoto directly to create a photo gallery in .Mac and use iWeb to link to it? What is the best way to use these tools to create a large photo gallery?

Keep it down to about 24 photos per album and 6 albums per page. You can always add more album pages and have an index page to get to them.

Problem printing large sheets

I am trying to plot downloaded construction plans on an HP designjet 800 but get thick black lines horizontally across the sheet. The widths of the lines are not consistent. The lines do not appear when I plot the plans on 8.5 x 11 sheets, only when I try to plot them to scale on larger sheets.

I'm having the same problem. Currently I'm not hooked up to a printer, I just want to generate a pdf to send to my print house to see if we can use this program or not.
It does seem to be an issue with the borders... I also could not reduce the border size below 0.56 in.
What I did (pain in the butt) was to try setting up different fake printers until I got one that would let me set the border to be small enough to meet my needs. This is a pain, because I dont know how to set up a printer that isn't attached to my machine, so I'm only setting up printer through IP printing. I found the HP LaserJet 5Si /5si MX driver lets me set the border to 0.08. Better, but not perfect.
Most photographers I know want to fit as many images as possible onto a single contaact sheet, which is the most efficent use of the space and $. I understand wanting to automaticaly set the page border minimum to wahtever the printer reports it as... but this makes no sense for positioning images on a page relative to each other.
The solution to this would seem simple:
one fixed border setting for the page (derived from printer info) and one variable setting for the images.
I'm surprised that this isn't the case already... which leads me to believe that this is a bug. I'm going to experiment more to see what I come up with... this is an important part of my workflow and will be a major factor in whether I keep using Aperture.
on another note... right now I send my images to the printer as 250dpi jpeg files (their request... output is great on photo paper). These PDFs aren't what I need to begin with because photoshop reports the contact sheet pdf as being 200dpi. Any ideas on how to set the DPI of the output like I can in photoshop?

Problems printing portrait photos in landscape mode

I have Photoshop Elements 5.0. I'm making a photo calendar, so I need to print out all of my photos in a landscape layout. A couple of them are portraits, though, and Photoshop is rotating those 90 degrees no matter what I try so that they'll fit on the full page. I don't recall having this problem last year, so I suspect that I'm missing something obvious. Can someone help me out?

I would suggest opening a new document in landscape then copying and pasting the portrait onto it. This method will also allow you to position it and add color/text/clipart/other photos to the remaining white space.

Advice on printing large photos?

I have a Canon PowerShot SD400 Digital Elph camera. As far as I can tell, the largest it can take is 2592 x 1944, which shows up as 180 dpi when I open it in Photoshop. Based on this, I think that the largest standard size I can order is 10" x 8" through iPhoto, but I'd really like to be able to produce some much larger prints of my photos to hang on the wall - more like posters than snapshots.
Any advice on how large I can safely print?
Also, is it possible to produce more than 180 dpi prints with this 5 megapixel camera?
(Please excuse me if this is a duplicate question - I tried to post it last night, but it hasn't shown up in the bulletin board so far.)
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.2) iPhoto 6

Each camera generated file has a fixed amount of pixels. In you case 2592 x 1944. If you print at 4 x 6 you'll be at approx. 430 dpi. Going up to 20 x 30 you can achieve only about 86 dpi. Not very good. But in PS if you go into the Image->Image size menu and increase one of the dimensions in the document size section, PS will resize the document at the same dpi as the original. So going up to 30 x 22 (un-cropped), using the
Bicubic resample option you'll get pixel dimensions of 5400 x 4050.
On the screen it looks pretty good but I've not gone ahead and had a really large print, like 20 x 30, made so can't comment on the resulting quality.

Problem syncing large photo library

I have a iPad 64GB and cannot sync my iPhoto library of 7000 photos. It syncs then states then when I select the photos on the ipad it hands saying "updating library" then crashes.
The library syncs fine to my iPhone and everything else seems to work - I also have plenty of space left on the iPad. Wierdly I can see and choose all the photos when I goto choose the background images but just cannot access them through the photo app.
Any ideas?

I have one iPhoto library with around 7000 photos, filled in different Albums (around 250) within other folders in iPhoto.
I have tried resetting the iSync history, deleting the iPad iPhoto cache, resetting the iPad etc etc. I have tried to delete any corrupt looking photos and have managed to import the whole iPhoto library to the iPad by selecting to sync it when all the photos are placed in one folder.
I run an art gallery and have different folders for each artist's work. iPhoto is a fantastic tool for this and I have found the iPhone invaluable for showing clients paintings - the iPad should be even better. So it is crucial for me to keep the folders. I have now managed to sync all the folders (and photos) by placing all my artist albums in one folder and selecting that to sync. This works. But what doesn't work is when I select the default, and just sync the entire iPhoto library with Events et al. Then it crashes whilst the Photos App is "Updating Library" after the sync. Then I am left with a malfunctioning iPad which keeps reseting with the Apple logo and spinning wheel inside.
So I have found a work around but it is not exactly perfect - very annoying. Especially as my crappy iPhone 3GS syncs perfectly and can handle all of the folders .....although admittedly not the Events. I wonder if it is the Events that are the problem?

Tile Function in LR ... Printing Large Photos

I have a 360 degree photo, stitched, from the top of Mt St Helens. I'm trying to figure out how to break it up into six pictures so I can frame each. It would be nice to have this feature in LR.
Can someone point me to a program / feature to help me with this task?
Thanks

Lightroom can do this if the image is small enough to be opened in LR. You could make 6 Virtual Copies, cropping each one to 1/6 size, with or without overlap, and print from there.
Size is dependent on number of horizontal pixels (for normal panos).
