Print settings

ADOBE Printing settings are a nightmare. Even if i have FIT selected (in Page size) and the actual image shows a nice full text with almost no margins, Adobe still prints the text too small with a VERY LARGE right margin. Insane. I have playing with tons of settings. Scaling is off in my Brother settings.

Hi @Virtual Citizen 

 

You replied to a four-year old resolved thread and I have branched your post to a new thread for you.

 

I see that you are printing at 122% and the size is 11.69 x 16.53 inches.You say that you want the image to go edge to edge on the paper.

 

  • What is the paper size that you have in your printer?
  • Can your printer do borderless printing?
  • If you fill a page with a black square and print, how close to the border does the ink come?
  • How many trays do you have in your printer? What are the other paper sizes?
  • I notice the green is spilling past the right edge. Is that part being cut off when you print?
  • Instead of "very large", how large is the right margin? (Measure it)

    Hi Jane

    Yes i replied to an old post, which proves that similar issues can show up again. The green highlights were simply added with Snagit to show parts of the things i was referring to. 

    I use a Brother laser multi function printer with 1 main tray to hold paper (if you exclude flap at the front for manual feed).

    - Letter size paper

    - I tried Fit, 100%, 122%

    - I tried Portrait, Auto... and various Advanced Settings

    - In one settings I could not changed the margins (stuck at 25mm both sides).

    - My Brother printer drivers are updated when they come up in the notifications

    I can print with very very small margins but never tested no margin.

     

    It's mind buggling. It must be such an obvious settings hiding in plain sight. Or a Brother printer setting which is taking over the Adobe Reader PDF settings. ...

    (I can't edit my previous post because i am considered a beginner user). Just wanted to add that I also tried other settings without success such as Actual Size, 100%, 120%, Print as Image, etc. The columns and text of the PDF still do not print using the entire space like i want.
