My HP printer has been cropping photos for months now. It's quite annoying. aedanA bicycle for the mind.  On 6 Jul 2012, at 20:06, "dknodel@swbell.net" <dknodel@swbell.net> wrote:   I don't think anything outside of GC will affect this.  Certainly nothing in the Finder or macOS I know of.This is what I see in preview screenshot:<SurferScreen.png>It looks fine there in the preview (above), but what I get is:<SurferScan.png>Yes, it is a low quality scan which I chose to save bits.  But it shows the 'cropped' picture that I get.dvd

I have had a similar problem with my old Epson Stylus Photo 870, and it had nothing to do with GC, because I was using Photoshop Elements. I am quite sure it had to do with the Epson print driver's compatibility with more modern MAC OS's. Epson was very slow in updating their drivers. May also be true for HP. AlI was born not knowing and have had only a little time to change that here and there. -- Richard Feynman  On Jul 6, 2012, at 12:22 PM, aedan mcghie wrote:   My HP printer has been cropping photos for months now.

Hmm so you guys think is an HP driver problem?  Wouldn't surprise me as their drivers generally suck, usually way behind OSX updates…From: Alfred J Treder <altreder@earthlink.net>Reply-To: <gcmac@yahoogroups.com>Date: Friday, July 6, 2012 2:52 PMTo: <gcmac@yahoogroups.com>Subject: Re: [gcmac] Headless print   I have had a similar problem with my old Epson Stylus Photo 870, and it had nothing to do with GC, because I was using Photoshop Elements.

Hi, GC used to have a Page Setup command that would allow you to set, in addition to centering, all four margins. I found many years ago that that needed to be customized for each printer I used. I don't know if Thorsten has removed that option or just hidden it so I can no longer find it.

I don't have a non HP printer to check what happens. aedan A bicycle for the mind.

If I understand you correctly, you will find it in Preferences under the Print icon. Not very dynamic, but it's there, together with the options for the print header. But I think there used to be an option to alter this from the Print dialogues, and I can't find that.
