Hi

Just brought this printer and i am trying desperately to print a photo from
my computer. Have everything connected ok, installed all software etc, but
i am putting in 6x4 glossy paper and choosing 6x4 size on the software but
the dam thing is printing half of the picture, what am i doing wrong, any
suggestions for a complete newbie and printing photo's.!

Thanks

Have you cropped the picture at 6x4? You didn't say what program you're
printing from, but if you leave it up to the software to crop 6x4 from a
picture that's an entirely different resolution/ratio, it will crop
indiscriminately and leave you with only a portion of the picture. I always
crop to the exact size I plan to print. Leave as little up to the
discretion of the software as possible.

Make sure you are putting the paper in the printer in the "portrait"
position (length wise)

Choose 4x6 and put the paper in vertical and then if you want 6x4 print
it in landscape.
