nathan_wong Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Hi, I'm hoping someone here can help. I'm using a HP B9180 and the HP add-in in Photoshop CS2 for printing. I have a 8x10 photo I want to print as a 8x10 on a sheet of HP Advance Glossy 8.5x11 sheet of paper. I understand that there should be .25" on the tops and bottoms and .5" on either side when I choose No Scaling. However, what comes out of my printer each and every time is a full scale borderless print. Though it looks good, it's not what I want. I've printed at least 6 sheets trying different options and I still get the same thing. Does anyone have any idea how I can get the printer to print an 8x10 print on a 8.5x11 sheet? Thanks.

constance_cook Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 In CS2, go to the last column and click on 'resize image.' Enter your 8x10 in the proper boxes then click on 'print.' That takes you to the 9180 screen. Go to preferences and click on the 8.5x11 paper size and set color space, etc. Then click 'print.' You will get your print the way you want it.

nathan_wong1 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Thanks, I'll give that a try. I'm assuming you're talking about not using the HP add-in? I didn't try to print it with "print with preview" yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mendel_leisk Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 In the HP Photosmart Pro print plug-in, check your "paper size" isn't a "borderless" choice. Verify your "border" setting in the Page section. In the "Size and Position" section, try "scale to fit..." or "scale to fill...", and watch the preview.

nathan_wong1 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Thanks, Mendel. That's all I've been doing and it just doesn't want to work for some reason. It's really irritating and the reason why I'm wasting all my resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan_wong1 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Yay! Finally got it working the way it's supposed to. In CS2 I clicked on file/page setup, chose the printer, then properties, then chose the appropriate settings, making sure that Print Preview wasn't clicked, then pressed okay. Then I clicked file/Print and printed. Here I was thinking that the HP add-in was the be-all-fix-all add-in and all it did was drive me batty. Thanks for your assistance Constance and your suggestion Mendel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
