    Problem Printing: Lightroom 5.3 (Mac)

      Was printing 4x6" from LR 5.3 fine. To an Epson 3880.  Then went to Page Settings (MAC) changed paper size to 8.5x11". The preview responded with a larger page. I scaled the image up to 8x10 via lightroom cell size. But when I printed to the Letter size paper, LR printed only a close to 4x6" top left corner. This was not a full image like the 4x6. It was just a corner.

       

      Exported to PS and printed fine.

       

      Can not figure why the print will not print the full image?

       

      Any thoughts

          I found that the printing with LR is best done by creating printing presets...that way, you don't miss one of the key settings (which is probably what has happened in this case) when you go to print.

           

          Once you get all the settings right for a given print scenario, just click the + in the preset box and name and save it...next time you want an 8x10 glossy etc, it will be all ready for you.

           

          I think if you go back and look in the Printer and Printer and Page setup dialogs, you will see some "wrong" setting.

           

          Hope this helps
