I am trying to print DS's Valentines. I want the image to print 4x6 on 4x6 photo paper. BUT, despite me changing the canvas size, image size etc. It is STILL printing a 3x5 print on a 4x6 sheet.
What am I doing wrong??? BTW, I can see that the image is 4x6 with 300 dpi, but why is it still printing a 3x5
Thanks for your help

Don't know for sure but it seems as if you have a print setup page defaulting to 3x5. Suggest you look at the printer setup pages..
Hope this helps... Tom

I have checked that, and it is set to print 4x6 put still prints 3x5 on a 4x6 print. It seems no matter what I do it prints the same way every time.
I can import it to iphoto and then print it from there, but then it cuts off a smidge of the image.
I am Damned if I do and Damed if I don't:confused:

Have you got scaled to fit page checked? Did you check the page setup? I know these are very basic but . . .

I was thinking more of the page setup in PSE.

Karen~THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! That did it, I know at one time the Page Set Up page did not have the 4x6 option so I made a "custom" one, that did not do the job. I know see the 4x6 option in my Page SET UP so I clicked that, went to print preview and it was perfect.
