HP DJ 5550
Hi
I have a HP DJ5550 and I want it to print, borderless, onto some new photo paper I have bought, but I don't seem to have the paper size listed in the options. The paper I have bought is called hp photo paper 175 g/m2 and its' size is 10x15 (think that means centimetres) I measured it and it is 102mm X 165mm. It does state that it has a cut-off tab, but I don't see one!? The last time I tried to print (With ACDSee) it printed a tiny photo in the middle of the paper. Can I download new options for the HP printing software to list more size options? Any ideas? Thanx Nik. -- ================================================== ================== Remove S P A M K I L L From my Email address to reply to me Directly ================================================== ================== P4 3.2 / 512MB Samsung 400mhz PC3200 RAM/ 200GB Maxtor SATA / HP DJ5550 Sony DVD RW / Sony CD/RW / Logitech MX700 KB+Mse / Viewsonic VE710b TFT Nvidia GF FX5700 256MB Graphics / WIN XP Home SP2 / Creative I-Trigue 3200 Asus P4P800SE MoBo / HP iPaq2210 / Sony NW-MS7 MP3/ Thompson ADSL Modem Fuji Finepix S5000 DigiCam / Creative NX Pro WebCam / BT 1MBPS Broadband ================================================== ================== |

You need a better understanding of image pixels per inch and how that relates to printer dots per inch. This might help: http://www.scantips.com/basics01.html |

Thanks for that. I have a pretty good understanding of that, I was merely
trying to see if there is a simple way of selecting the appropriate paper size, so I wouldn't have to bother reading an entire website to be able to print a photo. I hoped there was a simple answer? ;-) Cheers Nik. "Colon Terminus" wrote in message ... "Nik" wrote in message ...

I'd advise getting Qimage for all your printing, you'll be able to print
whatever size your printer is capable of. Also buy a roller blade cutter like the £10 A4 one that Homebase sell which is amazingly good for the money. You'll even be able to trim a 0.5mm sliver off if you want, it's that accurate. Cutting off 15mm will be easy. "Nik" wrote in message ...

I only pointed you to that article 'cause you seemed surprised when you printed a photo from ACDSee and it came out as a timy image in the middle of the page. That "surprise" is generally because the user doesn't understand the difference between pixels on screen and dots on paper. Obviously you do. I have, among other printers, an HP5550 and I like it quite a bit. I don't use ACDSee, so I don't know what to expect form that program. I do all my photo printing from Corel Photo Paint and never get unexpected results as you did from ACDSee. "Nik" wrote in message ... Thanks for that.
