I upgrade to v.6 and it's giving me fits.

I printed a 4x6 photo on my Canon Pixma and it came out fine. Then I went to do a second print, checked all my settings (now about 20 times) to ensure they were correct and then printed beginning with the preview dialog.

The landscape photo was now positioned vertically on the media, even though the strip on the left show it in the correct position. I tried every possible combination of options in the preview and nothing would rotate the photo into the correct position. I reviewed the printers preferences and they were fine.

I then selected another photo and tried it. The entire sequence outlined above was repeated. I closed and opened PSE 6 and tried again. No affect.

3rd photo, same thing. Although this time I couldn't get a good print even on the first try.

Any ideas?

Not quite sure I understand the problem. It sounds like you are printing from the Organizer and it's normal that the strip on the left shows a different orientation to the preview - I guess because it's designed to print multiple pictures and handle portrait and landscape ones without having to rotate the paper in the printer. Printing from the editor is different and gives you a lot more control over orientation of both the image and the paper for single image printing.

Which version did you upgrade from? I don't think the Organizer printing has changed from PSE5 although the Editor printing has.
