Printing Issue

[pwollam]

I am trying to print a 13 x19 print on a Canon i9900 using Photoshop. No matter what I try, the image will not print landscape. Image size in photoshop is 19 wide by 13 high. Preview looks great, then print is not landscape. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

This will probably not be helpful because I use an Epson 2200 but . . have you selected "landscape" on the page setup menu? I can't speak for the Canon printers but I noticed that with my setup the default seems to be "portrait" and I need to set it to landscape if I intend to print a landscape orientation.

After I do that I then select the "print with preview" selection on the files menu. At that point a screen comes up which shows the landscape oreientation but that screen is from the Epson driver and so I don't know what the Canon driver would say at that point.

At any rate, why not try the page setup if you haven't already.

You don't say what computer this is for, I'm on a Mac, but Photoshop should be the same on either the Mac or PC.

Go under file and then "Print with Preview".

In this dialog box, go to Page setup and set the following:

Format: to I9900 (not Any Printer)
Papersize: either A3+13X19
or A3+13X19 (Borderless)

whichever one that you want (not Untitled)

Orientation: to the middle box for Landscape

Then hit "OK". Now your picture should be orientated for landscape printing in the Preview dialog box, and since you've told to program to print to the proper paper size in the other dialog box, and the proper Orientation everything should be set for printing. Now just hit "Print" in the Print with Preview dialog box, and it should print just what you want.

Hi pwollam,

I am going to assume that you are using Windows XP. When printing with PhotoShop it will not over write your default printer setting. Therefore it used your default setting. I have a Epson and have the same problem.

Before you print this photo go to the windows Start button, click on printers and faxes. When the Printer and Faxes windows opens use the right mouse button and click on your printer then click printing preference. Change to landscape, see if your canon print driver allow a paper size, and what ever else you need to change.

When your done printing the picture change your preference back to the orginal preference. The printing preference are gobal setting, and will be used by other programs when you want them to print. So then next time you print it will be in landscape if you don't change them back.

I never tried making changes in print preview as johnleveritt suggested , that may work too.

I only said that because of this:

"Preview looks great, then print is not landscape. What am I doing wrong?"

So I assumed that he was printing from "Print Preview"

BTY if you perform all of the steps that I laid out, and save the picture, then all printing steps are saved with the photograph (not globally), and you don't have to do it again. Try it in Windows XP, and see if it does there too.

John,

I assumed that he was printing from PhotoShop and had the print preview checked in his printer setup. But now that you mention it I understand what you are talking about.

One of the problems that I found with printing in Photoshop is that my printing preference does not come up so, PhotoShop accepts the default printing preferences. If I had my printing preferences set to print a document then my picture will come out black and white. I have to change my printing preferences before I try printing through Photoshop.

Most of the time I print like you suggested right from Print Preview from Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. That way I can change my printing preference for printing photographs. But the changes to printing preference revert back to the default printing preferences after Picture and Fax Viewer are closed.
