Trying to print to paper with a "border" around it

I have set up a document (letter) to print to the C7280 printer ( XP with word 2003) - 2 pages set up for duplex; 8 1/2"x11". I print to a plain piece of paper and the top margin is approximately 1 inch down, same on the bottom.
I now want to print to some "stationery". The front side of this paper has a 1 inch border all around. When I print to the "stationery"paper, the top margin drops down so it is now 2 inches from the top of the page. Consequently the bottom of the page now prints into the border.
Does the printer have something built in that makes it think that the bottom of the border is now the real top of the page.
I never exit word during this whole process; all I do is replace the paper.
Same thing happens with word 2007 and Vista.

I do not know of any settings that can be changed. One thing I have done in similar situations is to cut a small strip from a Yellow Sticky pad and place this on what would be the top right edge of the printed page. Remove after printing. This might work for small quantities, it will not be a good solution if you are printing in quantity.

Printing on paper with colored border - paper is not always aligned

Hello,
I am looking for a recommendation on the following subject:
I am printing a lot of photos on a special sheets of paper which already have a designed colourful borders, and the photos should go exactly inside of the border.
Sometimes my printers do not take correctly the paper, and the paper is not 100% horizontally aligned. Even a small incline in the paper results my photos sometimes to be printed on the border and not inside of it.
Do you have any recommendation on a Canon printer which can work better in this situation or a technique that i can use so my printer will always take the paper properly aligned ?
Thank you.
Sergey.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
This forum is dedicated to the productivity application, AppleWorks. It is not a "catch-all" for how Apple computers work. Questions about Pages should be posted in the Pages ‘08 forum.
But the answer to this question is the same no matter what word processor you are using - change the document margins so the printed area is within the border of the paper you will be using. You will probably need a ruler to measure the amount on the paper. In Pages (any version), go to the document inspector & either type in the margin numbers or use the tiny up/down arrows to increase/decrease in .25" increment. In AppleWorks word processing, go to Format > Document… & type in the margin numbers.

How do I print multiple (4) photos on one page with a border around each?

How do I print multiple photos on one page with a border around each? I've gone the contact sheet route and adjusted the number of columns but there's only outer margins and very little white space between the photos down the middle of the page.

Ok, now I feel stupid! I always thought I was printing 6 x 4 but now I realise I can't have done!!
The photos that I used to print are approx. 5.2" x 4" (i.e. 4 fitted nicely on a page & I had to cut the boarder off).
I guess I just need to play with different sizes under the 'custom' option in order to get the biggest possible picture!
Thanks for the help

How to to print an .indd document with a border around the edge?

I have an Indesign document that I want to print with a slight border around the edge.
I print this after exporting it as a PDF. But when I choose the various combinations of 'print printer's marks' in the export settings, none of them seem to work.
I want just a simple thin border line around the edge of the document to print. I don't want the interior body to print (which it sometimes does).
I know this can be done, because on some of my .indd documents it works... but I can't figure out what I did to get it to print that way.
HELP!
and thanks....
jn

Thanks... the visible guides setting change took away the purple interior rectangle.
But it still doesn't print the border outline.
Here in text form is a summary of the .indd file settings that does print a border correctly, as I like it to.
The relevant paragraph under Marks and Bleed has crop marks off... and document bleed settings on.
I wonder what I'm missing? Sometimes I wished Adobe just used plain english... like 'print border outline of document'!
Thanks!

How can I print with black border around edge of image?

I'd like to add a black border around the edge of certain images I'm printing. I know it's fairly trivial in Lightroom, but I can't see where this option is in Aperture. Is this lacking in Aperture, or am I just missing it? Many thanks.
PS -- I'm aware there are some plug-ins that claim to do this, so if Aperture can't do this, please feel free to chime in with comments on the best plug-in for this task.

Aperture BorderFX 1.1
Thanks, Rich. That's a good plug-in, and does cover what I need (with lots of other features, too). The problem, though, is it requires an export of the image, which I then have to either print from another application, or reimport to Aperture to print. I was hoping to find something that will either just apply the border to the print job, or that would serve as more of an Edit With . . . type of plug-in than an Export plug-in, so I can keep everything in one place. Thanks again.

Keep getting an access denied window when trying to print to PDF with Adobe Acrobat X with any prgram/internet except for adobe programs

I am trying to print to PDF from Word, Revit, Firefox and all have given me a Access Denied window popup and would cancel the print. I have Adobe Acrobat X and Creative Design Suite 6.

So you are trying to print to the Adobe PDF printer? What is the full statement of the error (typically it indicates a folder or such does not allow access)? If you open Distiller, are there settings files available that you can view?
In the print menu, select print to file. Then open this file in Distiller. What happens with these two steps and do you get a PDF after the second step?

Tried to print from ipad4 with wifi printer. Saying can't find air printer. Printer on and it has printed previously.

Tried to print from my ipad 4 but saying can't find air printer. It has printed before.

Sharonanthony-
First, try double-clicking your Home button. A row of recent Apps will line up along the bottom of the screen. Scroll across and look for the Print Center icon. If it is there, you should be able to delete any print job that might be hanging it up.
If you can access the internet, then you should have a good connection to a printer that is using the same WiFi. If you do not have your normal connection to the internet, then I suggest you unplug your WiFi router for a few seconds. Then reset the iPad's network at Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings. You will need to reconnect the iPad to WiFi.

Trying to print off email with Epson iprint

I am experiencing difficulty printing my emails with Epson iprint. It keeps showing that it cannot find my printer.
any help i would appreciate

I, too, have just heard from an end user about problems when printing a completed form with checkboxes. She uses Acrobat 8 standard. I originally created the forms in Acrobat 8 Pro (have upgraded to 9 and now at X on Windows XP).
What's troubling is she can see the form properly completed on screen, but then sometimes the "checked" checkboxes print but most of the time they do not.
I've seen references in different online sources to font issues too, possibly an old printer drive ... bottomline I need to provide an answer for her so any comments will be most appreciated.
Thank you.

Problem with white border around images

Hey guys,
I'm new to the creative suite and have just finished running through all of the video tutorials, etc. I'm having a small problem which can be seen in the sample site I'm fooling around with here:
http://www.andrewedunn.com/gsd/
I'd like to get rid of the small white border around the "GS" logo. It is an illustrator document.
Basically I put the letters in place, converted them to paths (so I can resize it) and dropped it in my GoLive document as a smart object.
A google such suggested rasterizing, but I couldn't get it to work after fooling with it a little bit.
Further, if I wanted to add a drop shadow to it, how can I do it so that it is transparent on top of the background images in golive? The one time I tried it, the drop shadow was placed on top of a white background.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Are your background images always going to be displayed left-aligned on a black background and always the same size, so that the left half of the logo will always be over the photo and the right half will always be over the black? Or will the size or placement of the photos vary?
Are all of the photographs in approximately the same moderate tonal range, or will some be bright and some dark?
If the background will be consistently as you show it, you should be able to anti-alias your logo against a medium gray on the left and black on the right for acceptable results. If the background is more varied, you are not going to get good results with either GIF or JPG format.
See this related thread:
http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.3bc38b6e/3
> Further, if I wanted to add a drop shadow to it, how can I do it so that it is transparent on top of the background images in golive?
Only by exporting as a transparent PNG, but then older browers won't display it properly.
If you are really needing to have a logo that casts transparent drop shadows on top of a wide variety of images, you might consider going the Flash route, even though you aren't planning animation. Flash has very good transparency handling, and there are Flash player plugins that are compatible with browsers that won't display PNG images.

Trying to print on dvd with discus software?

i am using the discus software recommended by Old Toad here. i feel like i have the settings right - 80 mm, etc. but the disk missed the middle of the dvd completely and the whole picture is off center.
what am i doing wrong?
deb

As I mentioned in the other thread what are the settings in the print window? What paper size do you set and then what Preset is used. Although I an using a different printer I have to select A paper before the CD/DVD preset is available to be selected. There may be some association between the paper size selected and the photo missing the disk.

MG5420 is trying to print to paper rather than disc tray J

I just changed my hard drive on my computer, and I'm now unable to print to a DVD. Each time I try (and I've made certain that Disc Tray J is selected as paper size), the printer gives me an error message telling me the paper tray is empty. Multiple restarts have not helped, nor has reinstalling the driver. It is connected via USB.

I can't put a single letter with a border around

Hello,
Why, in Pages 5 on mavericks, all the little text boxes (legends on graphics) are systematically replaced with a "+" and only reappeared if I extend the box very much to 2 ou 3 tilmes more ?
I use : text box, border line..... and select 0 pt for "text insertion", disposition (independent of the text... no body for the document).
Thanks

sorry for poor english

I currently have a lot of songs on my iPod, but there
is a song in my library that won't go onto my iPod.
It's called Molly (Madgroove's CircusJungle Mix), and
it's 7.2 MB. There's plenty of room for it on my
iPod, but whenever I hold it over the operations
list, it only allows the song to go into playlists.
Everything else just brings up a black circle with a
diagonal line through it. What could be the cause of
this, and what can I do about it, because it's
causing me a lot of frustration...
Have you upgraded your Shuffle in iTunes to firmware verison 1.1.5 yet? That MAY solve yor problem...

Problem with white border around flash

if you go to www.brokenflash.com in a firefox browser and
click on any of the three buttons in the top right, or any of the
buttons at the bottom of the page, you get a white box once you
click. It still navigates on a single click, it just shows up right
after you click. I don't seem to have the problem in IE or Google
Chrome. Can anyone tell me how to remedy this? I did a search on
the forum, and so far, I haven't found a remedy. I'm going to
continue to look through the search items, but this is my first
website, so I am still fairly new at this(just a warning in case
you planned on using highly technical jargon).

I am not sure I quite follow you. You don't -- by any chance
-- mean the
mouse over state (shown when the mouse pointer is above the
button) of
those buttons, do you? I see no white boxes having clicked on
any of the
buttons (because the site loads a different page then).
Wait -- are you using Internet Explorer to view web pages?

Mentioning one's experience level within a forum posting is
usually a
good idea and helps others to help you.
