Hi

I've searched everywhere and can't seem to find a solution to this problem.

When I print photos from Vista Media Center to my photo printer the print quality is very poor and the photos are not being cropped to fill the 4x6 borderless print.  If I print from the windows desktop they print beautifully.  I have set the default settings for the printer appropriately but this seems to make no difference.  The ability to print from media center is great, but the prints are awful.  How can this be fixed so that the prints are the same quality as printing from the windows desktop.

My system: Vista ultimate; Printer is Canon PixmaPro 9000 connected by network; All photos stored on external netwrok drive.

Thanks for any help!

Same issue here- I print photos through VMC when I see one I like, but the print quality is standard, not my default high quality and it does not fill the 4 x 6 paper to the border- anyone any suggestions?

it was a problem in MC2005.....and has not been corrected.  When you sit down with your friends and they want to have a picture to go home with it becomes an issue.  You should be able to print from the image on the screen in high resolution photo paper.  It seems like a pretty easy fix.

So Jeff from Microsoft or anyone else out- any reason why Media Center can't be fixed so as to print better quality photos from the 10" interface- a problem for XPMCE2005 & VMC?

I second that.  If this could be fixed (?hotfix or maybe tweak a registry setting) it would be great.  I've pretty much given up printing from Media Center since the prints are lousy.

 

It is also easier to get high res album covers ( by using itunes instead) and to get software to play Blu Ray (TotalTheater) outside of MCE. My 2p worth.

However MCE is a 10' piece of software, I have hooked up my only PC to the TV and would simply like the option to print on my wifi printer a 6 x 4 borderless print by pressing the remote when watching a slideshow with friends and they want a copy of a picture they suddenly spot & like - adds a certain wow factor. Just want it to be the quality of a photo printed from Live Gallery and not have the white border as it does now. Of course I have dedicated photo programmes but I am the only one in the house who uses them- therefore MCE would suit my family better for printing the extra photos they need.

I am simply wondering if Microsoft are aware/have an explanation/or even a fix or does anyone else in the community?

If you don't have any answers then please just ignore this thread.
