Why not just go return and get another printer?Because, I'm not totally sure that it's not something I'm doing wrong. Just wanted to be sure that I tried everything before deciding to return it.
maybe check what size paper it's set for? if the default is something weird for some reason that could do thatI'm using card stock, 8.5 by 11. I have the printer set for Letter, cardstock, 8.5 by 11.
Its application side.Ok, so I printed an email and it came out just fine. Looks great.
The printer test page printed correctly.
Try printing from something else. Use something basic.
And maybe try a smaller picture. It could be printing it at its full size instead of fitting it to a page.
Did the rest come out on page 2?
Ok, so I printed an email and it came out just fine. Looks great.Probably. There should be a printer option to fit your printout on one page and/or an option in the program to change your margins and paper size.
So, the pictures are just too big then? Some turned out perfectly fine while others are all messed up.
Probably. There should be a printer option to fit your printout on one page and/or an option in the program to change your margins and paper size.I'm pretty sure it's set to just one page. I haven't seen any margin options on the printer itself or in it's settings on my PC. I do have a few in the actual print screen. I use these ones...
You might mess around with margin settings and see if there's anything interesting in the "More settings" section.There are no more settings for margins. Just the ones to make them even, and to shrink the image to fit the page. Neither of which fixes the problem.
How did you install it?It came with a disk. I installed it from that. When it was acting up, I went to their website and installed it from there. I thought maybe the one on the disk was out of date.
Is it just using the default driver or did you install something from the manufacturer? And if so was it includes in the package or downloaded?
It came with a disk. I installed it from that. When it was acting up, I went to their website and installed it from there. I thought maybe the one on the disk was out of date.The printer properties window you showed earlier seems a little basic.
The printer properties window you showed earlier seems a little basic.That's the one that pops up when I hit Ctrl+p, or select to print from the menu. I did manage to get a different print window at one point, but I don't recall how I got there.
When you expand out that menu at the bottom (more settings) you should have a bunch of options like fit to page, zoom %, etc.That was as far as it expanded. The "more options" looks like this.
Then at the bottom of that section you should have an option for something like use system settings. That would switch over to the native windows driver.Ugh, I'll try to find those options somewhere. Hopefully I can get it sorted that way...
One of those always has a way to print something regardless of what whackadoo program or weird document you have to print.
Id honestly just go buy a different one from Best Buy or Walmart or something. If that works return that shit and chalk it up as a lesson that you get what you pay for.I've already thrown out the box it came in. Well, not thrown out, but it's outside for the cats to play in. I guess if nothing else works, this'll be my next option. I just really don't want to have to do that.
Id still repeat those steps I said. you may have a fucked up installation.Okay, so, I did all that. Here's the test page it printed...
Otherwise Zoom % is the best youre going to do.
