Hi,
I have the 5.0 version of Photoshop Elements, when I try to print my document it never prints correctly, I have to play around with it for hours to get one page to print. The documents either print blank or half pages. I have been having this problem off and on and cannot figure out why it keeps doing this. Is it a layer setting problem?

I am trying to print on an 11x17 sheet of paper to create a booklet. The file has layers made up of text and photos. All the photo layers are set to "normal". The majority of the time, when I go to print these they either "print" completely blank pages (eventhough in the preview I see everything) or they only print the top half of the page and the bottom is blank.

I have tried saving it as a .jpg to avoid the hassle which worked for awhile, but no longer works, it prints blank half the time.

I have also used the flatten and merge visible options, which sometimes works.

What am I doing wrong??? Is there a setting I should be using? Anyone have this problem? Any suggestions on how to fix it would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thank you so much!

Mueller6194, first thing that comes to mind is:
1. are you selecting 11x17 as your paper size in the print setup?
2. is your documenebt 11x17?
3. if it's smaller then you should choose align left or center whichever gives you the result you want.

I'm sure some additional info will be coming along.
