Dear All:

I hope someone can help me with this. I have an image file that is 300 pixels/inch which is 7" wide by 8.763" high. I have a HP Deskjet 932C and it prints fine on my printer. I sent it to a friend and he says it’s way bigger then the paper size of 8-1/2" x 11". I told him to try to adjust the printer setting, but he has tried setting up the photos to be printed both Portrait and Landscape…also tried setting it to "Scale to Fit Paper" and "Scale to size"…you name it, but the photo seems to be still printing larger then the paper.

I don’t know how to help him, since the photo prints fine on my printer. My friend has a Hewlett Packard PSC 2210 all-in-one Printer/Scanner/Copier/Fax.

Anyone have any ideas?

Any help will be appreciated.

Sincerely,
lynnpd

How many pixels per inch does the image have on his computer? For all we know and depending on which program he is using, your value of 300 could have been changed to 72. It will print far larger at 72 dpi. Jim
