Top margin too big when printing to shared printer

We have a Canon Pixma iP6600D printer that is connected to an iMac on our home network and shared for printing with other macs in the house.
Suddenly, since a few days ago, any prints made from these other machines are printing with too large a top margin (i.e. the print starts too low on the page by about an inch), and so the bottom margin is consequently too narrow (and sometimes the ink even overflows past the bottom of the page).
When I attach the printer directly via USB to one of these machines then the printouts look just fine.
All the machines have OSX 10.7.2 installed.

This worked for me too, though I was in a rush and didn't really read what I was doing.  This tip removes all printers configured on your Mac, not just the one that is selected.  If you also connect to networked printers (not those with configured with Bonjour) or any other advanced printer, you'll want to write down any IP addresses or settings before proceeding.  My guess is that simply removing and then adding the Bonjour printer again would also do the trick.

  • I uploaded a photo onto my desk top and it was too big when I tried to change it I couldn't get into iPhoto it just wouldn't open

    I uploaded a photo to my desk top as my screen saver and it was too big, when I tried to get back into iPhoto I couldnt, it wouldn't open, I closed it and tried again and it still will not open, can you help me?

    Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS.  So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • Pages 2.0.2 won't print to shared printer

    help! i'm at the end of my rope here.
    pages used to print to my shared printer no problem. but since a hard drive failure in my powerbook g4 1.33 it's been no dice.
    since getting the hd, everything has been reinstalled: 10.4.8, epson printer drivers, iworks; EVERYTHING. other apps print to the shared printer fine. (the shared printer is on a home network, connected to a mac pro. access via a wireless router (dlink))
    i tried resetting the powerbook's PMU/PRAM. still, a popup window says: "error while printing."
    when the PB is directly connected to the printer 'pages' prints fine, only to the shared printer. nothing on the network has changed at all. (except one of my attempts to fix this was to reset the printer system on the mac pro)
    i've tried all the suggestions in the forum (searching for 'pages print error'), this includes turning off duplicate fonts with fontbook, resetting the printer system on the PB in various ways as suggested, deleting pref files and the like.
    steps to print involve these:
    1. open pages.
    2. open file
    3. select print, select shared printer.
    4. click print.
    5. a slight pause for about 1sec then the error message comes up: Error when printing.
    any subsequent try at printing the same file or another file the message pops up immediately with no delay.
    what am i missing? is there something on the network side?
    i can't think of anything else to check. i've looked at apple support articles till the wee hours of the morning.
    can someone offer any suggestions? you would have my undying gratitude!!
    cheers and happy holidays,

    hey folks,
    i've used app zapper to delete pages and then re-installed it. same thing happens. no luck.
    are there any other setting that pages might access? does PMSessionValidatePrintSettings refer to Print Manager?
    could it be permissions on the print manager's plist file? i'm just guessing as there was a slight name change on her user name when her settings, etc. were imported thru the migration assistant after the hd failure. it's a guess as i've run into this problem when switching from my PPC to the Intel. my user name went from seanw to sean and some of my apps were still labeled with the old "seanw" as the owner. (this was because i dragged and dropped some stuff instead of using the MA as i didn't know it existed.)
    if no solution presents itself how would i go about transferring my wife's user profile to another, new profile with out too much headache?
    would i create the new user and use MA to transfer her stuff from her backup?
    thanks for the suggestions, you have no idea how much this is appreciated.
    cheers,

  • The print is too big when I print something from a website

    This is probably the fault of my computer & not Firefox but when I print something from a website the print size is too big. How can I change this...

    File > Page Setup = '''Scale''' <br />
    100% is usually best
    If you can't see the Menu Bar with File, Edit, View, etc - hit the '''Alt''' key to temporarily reveal the Menu Bar.

  • The printer prints the fonts too small when I try to print a page off the Internet.

    My new printer is the Photosmart D110a. It is printing documents from Microsoft word but when I try to print a document from an Internet site, the font is so small I cannot read it. How can I adjust the printer settings so the font size is a 12? I  do not think I have the wireless stuff set up correctly but I don't need to do any cloud printing or things like that. I would appreciate any help you can give me.
    This question was solved.

    OK, well, when you print, use File > Print or Control-P on the resulting window click on Preferences, then on the Effects tab.  See if you are printing in Acutal Size, like this:

  • Blu-ray says capacity too big when burning DVD Rom Folder Encore CS4

    I have tried 3 times now to burn a Blu-ray Image file with a DVD rom Content Folder. The Blu-ray Image size is 45.90gb and the content folder is 1.6gb. The disk is a Sony DL 50gb Blu-ray. I have not tried to burn direct to disk because cost of Blu-rays. I am using Encore CS4. Is it that you cannot make an image file with DVD-rom for DL Blu-rays. Is there a number preset by Adobe for image file size for DL Blu-ray. Please help

    45.90 GB on your hard drive and 1.6 GB on your hard drive add up to 47.60 GB.
    In computer GB, (47.60 x 2^30) that's over 51 billion bytes. Sony and other blank media manufacturers report the capacity of their blank discs in normal GB (50 x 10^9), or 50 billion bytes.
    Your project is too big to fit on the blank media that you have.

  • Invalid user name and password when adding a shared printer from vista

    I have the following hardware in our house:
    1. A Vista Ultimate
    2. A Power Book G4
    3. A Netgear RangeMax router
    4. A Canon IP2200
    The printer is attached to the vista PC by USB.
    That PC is attached by ehternet to the router.
    The mac is networked to the router by wireless.
    Our wireless network is secured by WPA-PSK.
    I have set up file and printer sharing on my vista PC and on the mac.
    File sharing is working perfectly and can connect to my PC using the windows file sharing protocol (SMB).
    I then decided to add my printer as a shared device. I set the printer to shared using my vista PC.
    On the mac I opened:
    System Preferences > print & faxes > Set Up Printers > add.
    I selcted Windows Printing and then Workgroup (my vista PC is on this workgroup)
    and then clicked my PC and then Choose.
    I then get asked for my Windows Username and Passowrd.
    After typing this in I get the follwoing message.
    "Unable to connect to server with the provided password and user name.
    Error: 256"
    I know that my username and password are correct as I add the same printer to my friends XP laptop.
    Is this a vista or mac issue or both. I really don't want to have to unplug my printer or copy the file to my PC everytime I want to print something.
    I have not tried to add the printer to the mac from a XP compluter and maybe something I need to try.
    Sorry for the long post but I really want to sort out this problem.
    P.S I have googled for this problem and have come across a mac help forum with the exact smae problem. However no one has a solution.
    I hope I can find a solution for me and others having this problem.

  • Files sizes too big when I burn CDs

    I am fairly new to itunes and the imac. It seems that file sizes are pretty big when I burn a CD to itunes and are going to take up my ipod nano quickly. For instance, a 10 song CD took up 423 MB. The import settings I have use the AAC Encoder option and the quality is 128 kbps. Should I be using different settings to get the copied song size down? If so, what do you recommend?
      Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Please double check your import settings as the avg 4 minute song imported in AAC @ 128 should yield an approximate file size of 4mb, for a 10 song disc, 40mb. A total file size of 423mb really sounds like an uncompressed format such a Lossless, or AIFF. Also, verify the format/bitrate by ctrl-click on any song in iTunes, the "get info" . The summary tab at this point will give you the format/bitrate used to import the song. I just imported a 3 disc set tonight by "Genesis" in AAC @ 256kbps, the 40 songs on this set using the above settings only gave a total file size of 438mb.

  • Can't print to shared printer any more with Tiger

    Hello,
    I upgraded to Tiger from Panther on a powerbook 12". My printers (hp 1700cp and hp 920c) are linked to my G5 dual 2ghz by USB, and shared in the sharing panel. I network the two together by ethernet (via a Farallon Netline broadband gateway router/hub).
    Since moving to Tiger on the powerbook, when I press the "print" button in the print dialog for any program, notheing happens. Same when I press the "pdf" button in the same dialog.
    If I link the printers directly to the powerbook using a USB cable, it prints fine.
    I upgraded to Tiger using the archive and upgrade option. I'd like to do a straight re-load of Tiger from the disks, but as I have since upgraded to 10,4,3 via software update I don't have that option any more.
    Can anyone help ?
    Thanks.

    Hi, I'm having a similar problem.
    I print to an ancient networked LaserJet at work using LAN. I am not able to do it wirelessly. This arrangement has been working flawlessly. Over the weekend, I did an Archive and (re)Install of Tiger in an attempt to resolve a trackpad issue. Since then, my PowerBook has forgotten all of my printers, which is not a big deal, but the PB only sees the LJ intermittently. For example, Tuesday and Wednesday it worked fine, except each day I had to re-add the printer when I started up in the morning. Thursday, I was unable to see the printer at all, even after fiddling with IP addresses and all that. Today, the printer showed up and I printed a test mail message, but when I went to print an attachment, the LJ was gone.
    I have installed all the software updates available through 1/5/06. Why does it come and go? How can I get it to automatically be there? Oy!
    Thanks,
    Brooke

  • Can no longer print to shared printer on mac running 10.5

    We have an old G5 that we use to share a printer between various macs all running 10.9. I recently upgraded the G5 to 10.5 to see if that helped with some  issues we had, but now that we can no longer print to the printer.
    What I have done so far:
    #1 Updated the printer drivers on both 10.5 & 10.9 macs.
    #2 Reset printing System on both 10.5 & 10.9 macs.
    #3 Readded the printer to the 10.5 Sys Pref > Print & Fax using actual driver
    #4 Readded the printer to the 10.9 Sys Pref > Print & Fax
    If I do the last step by using "Add printer or scanner" option...
    ...but use the Generic Postscript Driver I get: Looking for Printer > Connected to Printer > then the error "Stopped on server [G5's name] - No pages Found!". The job does appear on the G5 in the printer queue.
    ...but use the actual driver I get: Looking for Printer > Connected to Printer > then the error "Stopped on server [G5's name] - Unable to write uncompressed document data: Operati...". The job does appear on the G5 in the printer queue.
    If I do the last step by selecting the printer under "Nearby Printers" I get "Unable to download the software from the server at his time".

    There are some differences in sharing but it will work. I have a G4 that I use as a server, too.
    First, tell me what printer model. There are driver differences, too.
    At the heart, CUPS (the print control subsystem) uses IPP as the print sharing protocol. That part hasn't changed. So I recommend, for troubleshooting, setting up the printer on the client using IP printer > IPP protocol.
    Here's a guide:
    1) On the 10.5 print server, use a browser and point it at the CUPS admin web page athttp://localhost:631
    Go to Printers list and find the queue name from the left side of the page next to the printer you want. Also note the IP address of the server Mac.
    2) On a client, Add the printer as an IP printer > IPP protocol, and enter the IP address and queue name you noted above.
    3) Select the generic postscript driver (on client Mac)
    (after reading your second post, I want to remind you to set the server to use the correct driver.)
    Finish and try it.

  • Printing to shared printer over VPN link

    We have been using the cisco VPN client connected to a 3020 concentrator for a while with no issues.
    I have a user that wishes to print through the VPN tunnel to a remote printer from a system on the LAN. He is trying to use a program called Easy Label to print barcode labels. The software uses the windows printer list. The barcode printer is attached to the remote PC and is setup as a shared printer on the LAN. When they go to print labels they simply select the printer on the remote PC through the drop down box and everything works fine. It works just like printing on any other printer on the LAN.
    They took this second PC, installed the VPN client and connected back to the LAN via the VPN tunnel. They are now unable to print to the remote PC and the barcode printer thru the share.
    Could this be an issue with encapsulation through the tunnel and file & print services or an I missing something else?

    Refer to the following document "PIX/ASA 7.x: Allow Local LAN Access for VPN Clients Configuration Example" in order to familar with local LAN access of the VPN client.

  • Printing to shared printer does not conclude

    Hello
    I have a Mac Pro running Lion Server, a MacBook and a Mac Mini in the network running Lion.
    I installed a Canon MX310 printer via USB to the server (Mac Pro) and enabled the printer sharing in the System Preferences of the server.
    Printing from the server works fine.
    On the MacBook and on the Mac Mini I can see and install the shared printer in the System Preferences (via Bonjour shared).
    When I try to print a document I can select the printer, the printing is processed until the job appears in the printer queue. But is stays there forever.
    Did I oversee something or is this problem caused by OS X Lion?
    Thanks for any hints.
    Cheers, Paul

    I turned back to Snow Leopard Server and am more than satisfied now
