Print 1 4x6 on multiple pages

[robertfah]

Maybe I'm missing something here but I'm trying to do something very simple. I have an image that I want to print as a 4x6. When I try to print with the Photo Viewer, I select the image, right-click and choose print. Select 4x6 on the side and uncheck "Fit Picture to Frame". The print preview shows one 4x6 on the page. However, I want 20 pages printed out, so when I up the "copies" to more than one, it puts 2 images on the same page. I don't want this, I want 20 pages with 1 4x6 of the image on each. How can I do this?

Thanks in advance!

What make and model printer are you using? Does it have the latest Windows 7 driver installed?

If you use a Photo Editor program like the installed MsPaint, or just the Photo Preview, and print from either of those, do you get the same result?

It's a Lainier MP C3000/LD430c PCL 6 it's our office printer. Yes, it does have the latest Win7 drivers on it and when I use Photo Preview to try to print, I get the exact same "print" window and it does the same thing. MSPaint has a different print dialog but it does not allow me to specify the size.

Hi,
Is the paper size ( set in the Printing Preferences section of the Printer Device properties) set to 4x6 as well?

4x6 fits 2 pictures on a single standard letter page as is evidenced by the icon on the left of the Photoviewer. If you only have 1 photo then it can only print one in the page. However if you have more photos it will make each 4x6 and fit as many as it can into the page. In the case of a Letter page with 4*6 photos it will be 2 to a page. Just like if you go further down, it can fit more images to a page if there are enough.

If you print this single image no copies, onto a standard letter sized paper it will have a lot of space left over, wasting paper. If your paper is another size, then select that size from the drop down in paper.

The closest to a 4x6 is A5 Full Page Photo.

Put the photo image in another program like publisher or word. Then you should get your 1 picture per page.

no, it's set to 8.5x11, which is what I need it to print out on.

Yeah, I caught all that from the printer dialog but I NEED it to print out on 8.5x11. I guess I should have explained that in my first post, my bad.

Ultimately, this is what I ended up doing.

The reason I wanted it 1 per page is because I need to take the 20 pages that it prints, flip them over, then print a different image on the other side. We will then fold/cut/manipulate the paper into what we need (a type of card/brochure that's not available in the standard templates of Office).

Thanks for the help on all this; I was really hoping the printer dialog would have been a bit more friendly. I can understand that they don't want to "waste" paper and therefore, print AMAP on 1 sheet, but I think I should be the one who decides that in the end, not the software.
