 Posted: Tue May 13, 2014 7:37 am Post subject: Cant centre print bounding box in CS3 |
 |
|
Hi, Im printing from CS3 on a Canon pixma iP8750. The printer doesnt like paper loaded in landscape so when I print a landscape piece I have to rotate the image 90 degrees to feed the paper portrait style. In the photoshop dialog preview it shows the bounding box (and thus the unprinted margin) as being wider at the bottom of the page than the top, which presumably is desirable for portrait pieces but for the rotated landscape pieces this offsets the print to the left (or right depending on which way its rotated) from centre. I dont want to trim the paper. Can anyone tell me how to centre the print bounding box or otherwise fix this problem ie print a vertically centred portrait?

Old Photoshop + Specialised printer is going to make this a hard one to answer.
My best guess is it will have something to do with the paper or margin settings in printer preferences (Operating system print preferences not photoshop)
Possibly margins are not all set to the same measurement.
Your printer has whats called a 'stapling margin' which pushes images across the page on a portrait print exactly as you describe.
The position setting 'center image' in Photoshops printer preferences should center it on the paper if the margin/border settings for the printer are equal.
The good news is that if your print preview shows its off center that almost guarantees you problem is in the settings somewhere and not a calibration issue with the printer.
Printer drivers can also cause margin issues however I would like to think canon would be on top of this with a printer aimed at the prosumer market. |

Hi, thanks a lot for your good answers. I figured it out. Page set up kept switching my selection to an old printer. Oops.
