Hi All
I have cropped a image 4 x 6 inch and the image is only 3/4's full the other bit is blank potopaper. I have gone through the print setup and printpreview in photoshop cs2 but no matter what i do i cannot get the image to fit my 4x6inch photo paper. Even on the preview if i scale it down or up and even mess with the length and width with constraints turned off.

It is a pain

i assume you're printing to 4x6 paper.

I had lots of trouble printing with the software that came with my printer, but I've found that photoshop works perfectly.

You say the image is 4x6. When you're adjusting image size, make sure it's 4x6 300 dpi. Otherwise you may be unhappy with the print quality. When you go to print, uncheck "scale to fit media". Instead, type 100% into the size box. When I print to 4x6 paper, I also uncheck 'center on page" and put the margins down to 0. 4x6 photo paper has a "tab" on the ned, t's acually larger than 4x6. This is so that the printer can actually hld onto the paper while it's printing. If you leave it centered, you'll have to cut the tab off both ends of the printout. by margining to 0 you only have to cut once.
