Why are my 4x6 and 5x7 prints being clipped?

My prints are getting clipped no matter what I try to do.  I am losing approximately 1/8" from all sides of the finished print.  From what I can tell, the picture is actually printing larger than the specified size.
This is my process:
In the Develop module I am cropping to the desired aspect ratio using LR presets, then going straight to the print module.  My printer is an HP Photosmart C4780.
In the Print module I set my margins to 0 and cell size to 4in x 6in.  The picture on the screeen looks exactly how I want it to print.
I go to Page Setup, select my printer, paper size (borderless 4x6) and orientation, click OK.
Then to Print Settings, select the HP paper I am using, click borderless, click save.  If I click "scale to fit paper size", I still lose approximately 1/16" on each side.
Under Image Settings, I deselect zoom to fill.  I have tried selecting it but still experience clipping.
I have tried moving the margins in by fractions of an inch and I seem to recover some of the image, but its a long trial and error process that I feel I shouldn't have to do.
A 4x6 test print on regular 8.5x11 paper measures 4-1/8" x 6-1/8".  The print layout in LR clearly says 4x6.  ???  This is really frustrating and killing my ink!  Any help is appreciated.

Printing from OS X Preview still produces oversized images, and to the same degree as printing through LR.
That confirms that the printer is doing this, outside of LR's control and knowledge - so LR cannot preview it. Some printer drivers offer control options - to turn hardware scaling OFF and so maintain size precision. This means accepting the possibility of accidental, uneven white edges - wherever the paper has not been 100% perfectly aligned for position and angle, or been manufactured a millimetre larger in one or another direction.
Where there are no such options, this hardware scaling is unavoidable - and does at least guarantee no white edges.
Besides printing on oversize paper (not borderless) and then physically trimming, ways to counteract this resizing include making the compositional crop a trifle looser, and/or, using the Scaling option [in lens corrections / manual tab] as a corrective.

  • Why are my notes and photos no being shared anymore?

    I have an iphone and ipad which were synched just fine until now. I just added a Mac Mini and changed my Apple ID password and now nothing is synched anymore. My notes are now different on all devices and no photo stream. I have reset my new Apple ID password in all places, but that doesn't help. When I attempt to but a check in the boxes next to notes and photos in the icloud settings, I am prompted to create a me.com address, even though I use the Apple ID address for icloud. Even if I attempt to enter my me.com addres, it tells me that that one is already taken.
    Please help. I need to be able to synch and share photos and notes on all devices.

    Whilst you've changed details on your devices, have you changed them with Apple.

  • Explanation - Why are IAS 9i and an RDBMS both needed ?

    Why are IAS 9i and an RDBMS both needed ? After all, IAS 8I/9I does contain a "database" in it -- but Oracle calls it a "data cache" !!
    Here's why ...
    The IAS 8I/9I "data cache" is intended to be a "performance enhancment" mechanism to avoid network round trips to the back end rdbms (called the 'origin' database in IAS terminology) for "rarely changing" data or application code accessed/used in the IAS 8I/9I mid-tier.
    The IAS "data cache" was initially extracted from rdbms 8.1.6 to use in IAS 8i (aka IAS 1.0.0 or 1.0.1) and now rdbms 8.1.7 to use in IAS 9i (formerly referred to as IAS 1.0.2).
    This was because the complete architecture and functionality needed to provide the IAS 9i's "performance enhancing read only" cache functionality already exists in the oracle 8i rdbms.
    (talk about o-o wanting to have high reusability !!)
    How about a practical application of why would you do this ??
    Think of the web site activity of a major online order system, for example, a ".com" that sells books. We can all think of the famous ones who would be ideal users of this type of design.
    Most of the transaction activity in an online order system is customers "browsing" the product catalog, looking at the
    descriptions of the books they might consider to buy. When a customer identifies a desired book, the customer can place an order.
    This typical customer behavior looks at the description for each book which is "rarely changing" information that is normally accessed in a "read only" mode.
    To improve performance for this online order system, the "rarely changing" information can be stored (or "cached") on the mid-tier in IAS 8i/9i's "data cache".
    How do this improve performance ??
    With the information available in the mid-tier "data cache", network roundtrips by IAS 8i/9I applications to the 'origin' rdbms are avoided, reducing the workload on the network and the 'origin' rdbms.
    Why do i still need a back-end or 'origin' rdbms along with ias 9i ?
    You still need the 'origin" database as the "master repository" for your books, their inventory system, and orders placed with your business.
    You also have the other necessary business systems they may or may not take advantage of the IAS design -- like shipping, payroll, Human Resources, etc.
    What happens if the data changes ?
    I kept repeating "read only" -- so - the next question is what do you do with "new or changing" data - like placing an order or updating the inventory ?
    Since the "master copy" of the information is retained on the origin rdbms, then all changes will occur there.
    When a new book is added or an existing book's information is updated or a book is dropped from the inventory, these changes are applied to the origin database.
    This information is then "refreshed" on the IAS 8I/9I "data cache" using the "management policies" available within IAS 8I/9I.
    These policies controls how and when to "refresh" the IAS 8I/9I data cache.

    In the following document:
    1) "Oracle9i Application Server Technical White Paper" located at :
    http://technet.oracle.com/products/ias/pdf/9ias_102.pdf
    don -- right
    At the bottom of page 16 and the top of page 17 is the following....
    'The Java engine inside Oracle9i AS is the Oracle JVM.'....
    don -- right --- new name is Enterprise Java Engine (EJE)
    'The Oracle JVM is integrated in Oracle9i AS, giving it the same advantages and benefits available to the Oracle Database ...'. '
    don -- almost right -- you left the key phrase off of it ...
    it is completed as follows : (CAPS - are mine for emphasis)
    'The Oracle JVM is integrated in Oracle9i AS, giving it the same advantages and benefits available to the Oracle Database FOR EXECUTING JAVA BASED APPLICATIONS ON THE SERVER'. '
    STEVE --
    that's why i made the comment in the previous post which i've copied below :
    I don't think of it as a "database" even though some literature might refer to it as one in IAS 9i standard edition !!
    The term "database" has a lot of extra functions with it that are not in IAS 8i/9i!!
    for example, most RDBMS's have :
    1) updateable tables, etc.
    2) backup and recovery of data requirements
    3) etc.
    That's what makes the EJE in IAS different from an RDBMS -- the extra rdbms functrions are not needed...
    That's why I think of it as a "Java Code Container" that holds the Oracle Enterprise Java Engine(EJE) in it. I was stuck on this also - now i can mentally exclude all of that extra functionality by calling it a "java code container" and not thinking of it as a "database".
    Since Oracle JVM is the common Java environment for both the Oracle database and Oracle9i AS,...'.
    The above gave me the impression that 9i AS has a JVM independent of a database.
    don -- 9i AS has a JVM independent of a database -- they are the same item -- a "stripped down" database or as i call it a "Java Code Container" that holds the Oracle Enterprise Java Engine(EJE) -- formerly called the oracle 8i jvm -- in it.
    i think the term "database" in the literature is being used to emphasize where it came from (stable oracle 8i -- as opposed to totally new technology)
    but
    i personally think the term "database" implies to many people, it is a "fully functional rdbms" ... so they assume they don't need a back end -- or in ias terms -- an 'origin' rdbms.
    However -- i think this is where the confusion is ..
    as people understand the differences between ias and rdbms, they soon realize they must have an rdbms.
    However, the administrative instructions (that deal with setting up OSE) seem to point that the JVM is in a database.
    don -- right -- it is a "stripped down" database or a a "Java Code Container" as i call it.
    you still need to deploy the java code (servlets, jsp's, ejb's, corba, and java stored procs) to it.
    The command line functions that you use to do that with the 8.1.7 rdbms -- still apply.
    Commands like :
    loadjava, deployejb, dropjava, sess_sh, publishjsp, publishservlet, etc.
    Note :
    Obviously ias 8i "EJE" or ORACLE 8i JVM (the old name), is based upon the rdbms 816 functions (no OSE in it), so you can't deploy servlets and jsp's to the ias 8i EJE just like you can't to the 816 rdbms.
    I do find this subject (where is the JVM located) very confusing.
    don - right -- but you are picking it up -- hang in there !!
    Steve you asked --
    Don - is the EJE (OSE/OJVM) implemented through a database?
    'The Java engine inside Oracle9i AS is the Oracle JVM.'....
    don - right
    keep in mind from a java perspective -- the EJE is a "Stripped down" database that acts like a java code container that you connect to -- just like in 817 --- so you can deploy your code to it.
    it's also a jvm -- and you execute your deployed java code in it -- just like in 817.
    i hope this helps and i didn't confuse this topic further for you ...

  • Why are my contacts and calendars showing up on my daughter's iphone after I updated?  Help!

    Why are my contacts and calendar showing up on my daughter's iphone after I updated?  Is there anyway to remove them or stop
    them from going directly to her phone?  Help!!!!  Thanks guys 

    So, am I to conclude from all this that the best thing for one iMac and multiple family devices (2 x iphones, 1 x itouch, 2 x ipods) is to set up itunes account for each family member.  We don't use iCloud except for my (primary iphone)
    We had similar problems to the above, and since the recent 6.0.1 update we've started getting each others texts, on top of my wife and I's contacts being replicated to our young son's itouch, and a seemingly random redistribution of apps.

    Why are my iphoto and itunes crashing every time I open them?  This is a new problem on my Mac Mini.  Have the latest software on my Mac Mini and the latest iLife sotware.  My mac mini is about 5 years old, always kept up to date.

    Hello Majorie,
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    Also, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive?
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.

  • Why are both SQL_ID and PREV_SQL_ID null?

    session A is blocking session B.
    it was row-level lock.
    But, why are both SQL_ID and PREV_SQL_ID null in session A?

    Well, what do we know?
    Session A must have an uncommitted transaction.
    That uncommitted transaction is blocking session B.
    But session A could well be doing nothing now, could be churning away doing some sort of processing outside of the database (java client you said), might well be off doing something elsewhere in a distributed transaction.
    Who knows?
    Not necessarily the database.
    If you have ASH licensed, you might, might get a better picture of what session A was doing by looking at DBA_HIST_ACTIVE_SESS_HISTORY but as this is sampled data and your statements might fly in and out, it might not be helpful.
    Note that even if prev_sql_id or sql_id were populated, these might not be the statements responsible for the lock.

    When I am in Edit, why are Smart Fix and Balance unavailable to me?

    I don't know what you mean by balance, since there's nothing by that name in PSE. If you go to the Enhance Menu do you mean that Auto Smart Fix and Adjust Smart Fix are grayed out? If so, go to Image>Mode and be sure you have an RGB file and that it's 8 bits.

  • I have these black boxes around all the images i add. why are they there and how do i get rid of them?

    i have black boxes around all the images i bring into pages. why are they there and how can i get rid of them?

    Pages rememebers the last setting you used on images.
    So if you had a border on the last image the next one you bring in will have one too.
    To change that select:
    Inspector > Graphic > Stroke > None
    Spend a little time exploring the menus and particularly the Toolbar and Inspectors whcih are in reasonably logical progression from big things down to smaller details and clearly labeled.
    It is also possible that you have show Layout on which outlines objects on th screen so you can see what's what. To change that:
    Menu > View > Hide Layout

  • Why are my iphone4S and ipad3 no longer being seen in finder under the devices section

    I am new to the Apple ecosystem and for the most part I have fallen in love with it, I have had my fill of the PC era and was on the verge of a mental breakdown using them. Well I bought a MBP 13" an ipad3 and I have an iPhone 4s. When I first got these items I was able to drag and drop files like a movie that I own and copied to the hard drive. This was done in finder, under the devices section it would show my phone and my ipad however after I installed the latest iTunes software it seems that this has disapeared and now I cannot find my devices in the finder area to drag and drop these files anymore. So, my question is this, has Apple done away with this function and if so how can I drag and drop a file to the ipad3 now? Thank you all for your help.

  • Why are Setup Assistant and Migration Assistant forcing me to copy everything from an old mac?

    Hi,
    I just bought a new Mac Mini (Late 2014, ships with Yosemite) to replace a defunct MacBook Pro (Late 2008, last ran 10.8.5).  I have a local administrative user account and some server and network data that I want to migrate from the latest Time Machine backup of the MacBook Pro to the Mini.  I don't want to copy anything else to the Mini.  Neither Setup Assistant nor Migration Assistant will let me deselect anything though.  All the check boxes are greyed out.  Clicking on them does not uncheck them.  This forces me to copy everything from the Time Machine backup to the Mini.  Then the Mini won't restart.   It won't even boot into safe mode.  It just gets stuck in a reboot-loop until I enter recovery mode, wipe the system drive, and reinstall Yosemite.  Does anyone know why those check boxes are greyed out and how to fix them.  Thanks in advance for any help.

    Since it's a new machine, contact Apple's Support and let them deal with it.

  • Why are my photos and Camera App all messed up??

    Since I upgraded to iOS 8 my photos and camera app seem all screwed up.  I take sideways photos like I always do, and when I go to look at them on the phone, they look vertical or sideways.  I can no longer scroll sideways through my photos, but have to do it vertical now...but not all the time.  My photos are upside down at times, sideways, just never right.  I have taken my pics the same way for years, now it seems the new iOS 8 just ruined everything.  VERY angry with Apple now.  I try to show people my photos and half are upside down and sideways.  When I flip the phone, the pics flip too.  I also do not use the volume button to take pics, always the button on the screen.  What a joke.

    I tried all the resets, nothing.  I did a search and apparently others are having issues with the camera with iOS8.  I have a bunch of videos now that I took of my daughter, wanted full screen so I took them horizontally like I always did, but when I look at them on my computer they are vertical and sideways.  Half of my photos are upside down, sideways, and why do i now have to swipe up and down instead of side to side when I look at them?  APple really screwed up with iOS8.  Big time.  it also ruined my **** iPad 2 since I had no idea until it was too late that it was too slow for the new iOS.  Really done with Apple.

  • Why are my contacts and reminders and photos syncing between me and my boyfriends phone, as well as my macbook air? How do I make this stop? I've already deleted Icloud backups on itunes but that didn't help because we still seem to be synced. Help.

    Why are all of my devices syncing with my boyfriends phone? His phones photos are synced to my macbook air photo stream, my reminders are synced to his phone, I already erased all of my itunes backups through itunes thinking that would fix the issue but it failed to resolve the problem. My contacts also synced to his phone and his Imessages are synced to my imessages now... this is extremely frustrating and would like this to stop alread. Please help.

    Well in the iPhone and the iPad in the Settings in the iCloud section, there is an Apple ID associated with the device. And in the MacBook Air there is (or can be) an Apple ID associated with the account.
    In the iPhone and iPad in the same settings panel you select what gets synced with the cloud.
    I'm guessing that your devices and your boyfriend's are set up with the same Apple ID and the switches to sync are set? I'm not an expert but that is what I'd look at first. You need to have a separate Apple ID from your boyfriend or turn syncing off if you don't want that to happen I think.
