[Solved]Resultant image is too small on my Dell V505 AIO 32 bit printered

[mij]

I am trying to print out an image (photo) on a Dell V505 printer to use as a portrait painting reference. I am going on a course on Friday and wanted to take the image with me filling an A4 sheet (in it's aspect ratio of course).

It did this before.

For no known reason it stopped communicating with my computer this week so I removed it and re-booted, then re-installed it. I used a driver R26649 for a 32 bit W7 OS which is what I have.

Today I find that even after altering the image to 7.4" width (there fore almost filling an A4 sheet) it does not alter the print-out size.

 

How can I modify the resultant print-out size please?

What have I done to cause this?

Hi, I surprised myself by finding this one hiding away behind printer properties. It was clicking on 'boarder-less' under 'printer properties' that solved the problem. Now it has started printing in grey-scale but I think I can work that one.

Thanks all the same.

Hi Jim.

Glad you found the borderless option. There should be a grey scale option too. If you are out of a color of ink grey may be your only option.

Hi Randyl.

I use greyscale to give the details for a B&W acrylic under-painting and GIMP to posterize and isolate the shadows/lights. Well that is what the tutor said :D. I don't use the expensive inks - does anybody? Oh I cured the grey-scale by UN-clicking the print 'black and white print in black ink'. Yeah stoopid me, clicked on that whilst I was on that page so I knew what I'd done......

Good to hear everything is right again Jim.
