lester1 Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 This doing my head in, no matter what I try I can not get the photo to print correctly on the media.Every time I try I get a large border on the leading edge and a corresponding drop out on the trailing and upper edge.Tried setting the printer to 6 x 4, the software to 6 x 4, confirmed orientation, still no good.Iv'e even tried the printer custom size setting but to no avail.I am now reduced to cutting A4 sheets to 6 x 4 and setting the printer to draft to conserve ink and paper :( Win98SE, Adobe photo delux,Cannon S450 printer.Help :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 I hope you do get an answer as I get this as well and also print on A4 sheets. I think that the problem is down to the traction drive leaving the larger gap at the end of the print. Also I'm on the look out for a print layout application with a bit more flexibility. At present am using the standard XP print application. This only gives the options of single, x2, x3, x4, x9, and thumbnails. Quite often I need to print at x6. Hope this isn't hijacking but it might help one or more of our photo chums to give a rounded reply. PS my camera application is Cannon Zoombrowser and that seems to prefer to but the pictures together making trimming very tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Could it be something to do with the program you are printing from? I use Arcsoft Photo Printer, it's available online and is quite cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doug Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 Artist If you are trying to be a meany and print several pics on, say an A4 page, can you do a uniform layout on the A4 page using PSP. If you get my meaning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

don't ask Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 I am a bit of a cheat - when printing photos etc, I use MS Word (Insert a Picture from File - sometimes I scan them in first if I need to). When they are in Word they are easy to resize - I often do the old 'several piccies on the one page'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarecrow Man Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Insert the pics into Microsoft Word (or any text editing program) and format them to 6x4. I had to do this last night and it worked nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
