I am new to the 3880 and to LR5. However, in the recent past I have used both to print some beautiful 4x6s, 8x10s and 12x18s. Now, I am trying to print an 8x10 (on an 8.5x11) and the photo is way off center. (Previously, the photos were centered). Now, there is no border on the top and on the right hand side. The left border is about 1 1/8 in., the bottom about 1/2 in. On screen, the ruler (and my eye) indicate the photo has the correct borders. I must be doing (or not doing) something very dumb!
Hopefully, one of you more experienced Hogs can help. Thanks.

Male sure that you have set the paper size to 8.5 x 11 then adjust the margins so the image is centered. Check these settings in both the PP program you are using and the printrr settings.
Good luck

In LR5 you can turn on grid lines and use these to set your margins. The margins are set on the right side panel about half way down the panel. This should solve your problem as long as you set your paper size correctly.

Thank you! I actually have the same problem, and now I have a solution. :-D

Fantastic printer, isn't it! Love mine. My lovely bride gave it to me for my Bday last year.

Thanks!
I have done all of that and the photos still print with the picture hugging the right side of the paper. For 8/12 x 11 I selected letter size, is that correct?

Thanks.
I have been using the guidelines in LR5.
Rulers, margins, dimensions, etc. are all checked and showing on screen. The photo is centered between the margins, with an equal border on three sides, and a larger border on the fourth side. But when printed, as I mentioned in the previous post, the photo "hugs" the upper right of the page, leaving large margins on the left and bottom. In essence, the left border encompasses both the left and right, and the bottom border encompasses the top and bottom borders.

It still sounds like you have a miss-match of some sort between what you've 'told' LR5 and how you've set your printer regarding the size of the paper, the size of the image, and the size & locations of the margins - or, maybe you've accidentally set some sort of 'binding offset' in your set-up menu. Check if your printer has a 'borderless' setting - changing that may make a difference. Sadly, I don't have that printer, or LR5 so I can't tell you what exactly to check.
