Title: QImage - recognizing paper size with Kodak 1400 Printer
Post by: wpontius on June 03, 2009, 06:49:12 PM
I can load the K1400 glossy 8.5x14"  paper under the Printer/Properties/Preferences and/or under Print Setup in QImage, but QI does not recognize this dimension on the "page layout" on the right side of the screen and reports it as 8.272x12.00" paper.  Kodak makes both 8.5x12 and 8.5x14' paper in glossy  This gives me a problem usually when printing four 4x6 prints per page.  I generally use this printer for multiple small prints for my wife and it would be helpful to get four full 4x6 prints per page.

Any suggestions??

Thanx

The Kodak printer driver is reporting those (8.272x12.00) dimensions.  That is the printable area on the page (the area accessible by the printer).  To print any larger than that, your only option would be to use borderless printing if the printer offers that option.  There are more details in this article:

Hi,
I've just looked up the specification for the k1400:
"Maximum Image Size     Up to 8.27x12 inches" and you can use "Receiver Format / Sizes     Cut Sheet: 8.5x12, 8.5x14 and A4"
In theory, you should get your four 6x4 prints (8x12 total area).
