Auto cropping is on.
Thanks, Mike.

From this I gather your "page size" as in "printable area" is 8.24 x 10.346.  That's the size your printer is capable of printing.  If it shows 8.5 x 11 under print properties, then you are trying to print an 8.5 x 11 photo on 8.24 x 10.346 paper: that won't fit so you're getting a multi-page poster.  What is it that you are trying to do?  Try dropping down the print size and selecting "Fit to page".  That should give you an 8.24 x 10.346 print: the largest size you can currently print.
