Why can't I print a card from iPhoto?

I have always been able to print cards I design straight to my printer but today I seem to only be able to print the elements I placed in the card. The design elements are not printing.
Has this function been removed so we have to buy the card?

I made a birthday card using photos from my iPhoto files and using a template used many times before. When I pressed the print button, I found that the only things displayed in the preview and consequently when printed, are the photo and the words that I placed in the template. The actual card elements from the programme (ie the textures, pictures and colours that are usually present in the card) are strangely absent. It makes for a pretty boring printout of a photo and some disjointed words with no cohesion. I have tried another template and the same thing happened.
I have also tried to save it as a PDF and the resulting printout was the same.
I may be wrong but it looks like Apple are removing the option to print our own cards, so that we use their online printing service and make shedloads of money from what used to be a free component of the programme.

Why can't I print a pdf from my mac pro to my printer?

why can't I print a pdf from my mac pro to my printer?

Don't know! You'll have to give us more details of what's happening when you try. Can you print other documents OK? When you try to print, does the printer icon appear in the dock - click on it and see if there are any printer messages.

Why can I not print a PDF from an email?

Why can I not print a PDF from an email any longer?

Can you explain in better detail?
Is it when you open the file attachment and attempt to Print?
Is it right-mouse clicking and attempting to Print?
Is it when you print the email itself and expect the attachment to Print?

Why can't I print a document from iphone5 to hp wireless printer?

Why can't I print a document from iphone5 to hp wireless printer?

Try the following steps.
Power off the printer.
Reset the phone by holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot.
Power cycle your router. Disconnect it from power for about 30 seconds and then power it back on.
Once it has completed the reboot, then power the printer back on and make sure it connects to the wi-fi network
Open the content on the phone that you want to print and attempt printing it again.
If that does not do it, then check to see if there is any newer firmware for the printer from HP.

Why can't upload video on Facebook from Iphoto

why can't upload video on Facebook from Iphoto?

Because that's not supported. Export the video and upload from the Finder.

Why can't I email photos direct from iPhoto?

Why can't I email photos directly from iPhoto, or even attach them to email?

I get a dotted frame outline with an exclamation
This is the source of all the problems. iPhoto can't mail the files because it cannot find them.
The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming it's 09 or later:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Problems printing Greeting Cards from iPhoto 6 and 8

I've had this problem since I tried it in iPhoto 6, and that is printing greeting cards in iPhoto doesn't work with my inkjet printer. When the first page prints, it's not centered, so when I flip the page and print page 2, they are not aligned and won't cut correctly. My Aunt is able to print cards from iPhoto but only by doing some long 20 step process of exporting them to jpgs using Preview, then printing them from some custom template in Pages. When Mr. Jobs said "Home Printing" was going to be fixed in '08, I got all excited only to see I'm having the same problems. Any one have any luck with this from inside iPhoto?

Mark:
If you have a 3rd party editor that can handle layers take a look at Tutorial #8.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Why can't I print a document from a website using Adobe reader?

Adobe has been bugging me to update to latest version, so I finally did (got so sick of it popping up all the time on my screen). Now that I have, I can't print out anything off a website. It keeps saying, "Document cannot be printed" or something like that - and then it tells me that no document is selected, yet it clearly is selected. Anyone know what's going on?

What is your operating system & version?
What is your web browser?
What is your Adobe Reader version?
How do you print - from the browser's print function, or from the Reader toolbar?

Why can't I print PDF files from my iPad or smart phone. Just started this recently.

Not able to print PDF files from either my iPad or smart phone

You probably don't have a printer which supports AirPrint:
What Printers Are AirPrint Compatible? - iPhone / iPod - About.com
If your printer is not supported, you can buy a utility like PrinterPro from Readdle on the App Store. That's what I've used to print.

Why can't I drag a photo from iPhoto to a folder?

You guys - I used to be able to drag photos from iPhoto to pretty much wherever I wanted. I'm currently trying to drag them to a folder, but it doesn't work.
I tried to email them to myself, THEN drag them into said folder, still doesn't work.
I had to open each of them in Preview, then save them as new files to the folder.
WHAT!? That's insane. Am I missing something or have all of the updates changed things so drastically!?
All of my business is up to date. If this is what it's like updated, that is a bummer.

This seems to be a desktop issue rather than an iPhoto one, as you can't drag from Mail either.
So I'd start by repairing permissions.
Can you export to the desktop?

Why can't I print PDF documents from Safari correctly

When we go online to get our credit card statements they are always in PDF format. My husband likes a paper copy so he can reconcile himself. When we print the document all we get are six very mini copies in the upper left corner of an 81/2 x 11 sheet.
This didn't use to be the case and I'm wondering if it has to do with Mavericks or an update to Safari. Does anyone know of a solution?

Logon to the website then click to "View" statements.
Then from the Safari menu bar click File > Export as PDF
Then print the PDF file that was downloaded to your Mac's hard drive.

Who can help?.

When I select print from the menu, the printer dialogue just doesn't open.

Why can't I print a map from a PDF file?

I am going to the website http://www.atac.roma.it/ which is the public transit system for Rome, Italy. If you scroll down and click on the green button for Linee e Mappe and then scroll down on the next page and click on the PDF file for the Line e Elettriche you will get the map for the electric buses that runs through Rome. You will notice at the top of that page on my computer it says "doc.pdf(secured) Adobe Reader". You will also notice that there is no option to print the map. This did not used to be the case as I have printed maps off this site before.
I do not have any add-on for Adobe reader. I am able to print PDF files. I do it all the time. I just did it now, but when I have those pages open I do have the option to print.
I don't have any problem viewing the page, either the website or the PDF file of the map. I just can not print it. Because it says "Secured" would the mean that ATAC.Roma does not want everyone printing their map?
Thank you,
TomS

That is because the document's security settings disallows printing (as well as everything else).

Why can't I print to PDF from other document types when I'm on a wireless connection?

Example: When I'm on a wireless connection and attempt to print a Powerpoint file to PDF, the document remains in the Adobe Acrobat PDF printer queue in a status of "Error..Printing". I do not have this issue when I'm on a wired internet connection. My only option when converting documents to PDF while on wireless is to select "Save As" and save as a .pdf file type. This option does not maintain all of the formatting of the original file, so my preference is to print to pdf.

Interesting. What happens if you open Acrobat and select:
Acrobat 9: File > Create PDF > From File
Acrobat 11: File > Create > PDF from File

Why can't I print in color from Photoshop to my HP 3500 wireless printer?

I have Photoshop CS6. I just noticed last night that when I go to print files from Photoshop, (or even Preview right now... or straight from Google Chrome), it only prints grayscale. I have NOT figured out how to fix this setting in the HP 3511 wireless printer I have. Only options for "profiles" when I go to File - Print in Photoshop specifically, are Generic Gray Gamma 2.2, Generic Gray profile, and sGray. What is going on here? I have CMYK file I want to print.

Here are some screen shots...
I'm pretty sure I've been able to print out of there before. I haven't had this printer THAT long (since Christmas) and I haven't used it a ton. I do know I printed a PDF once with color and that worked fine. I tried a PDF tonight and it wouldn't print color on that either. The "grayscale" button was NOT checked on that, either.
