I have QImage Pro 2009.269 and am printing to an HP z3100. In the print driver, I have my page size set to 18" x 24" with Standard margins. In QImage, the resulting page layout shows as 17.606" x 23.126". I am printing 2 images 17.25" x 11.50" @ 300 DPI. QImage is set to Optimal/Spaced. I see my 2 images fit perfectly in the layout with some white border on all sides.

BUT, when I print, my left border is trimmed by at least 2mm (can't tell precisely how much). I have my 5mm white margin present but the image printed is truncated. Why does QImage show the proepr page layout, with the correct margins and then the final print doesn't match what I proofed?

I'm evaluating QImage to reduce my frustration with the z3100's layout options. But as I test QImage, I realize that it too is affected by these options.

This my be a stupid question, but what settings should I select in the z3100 print options under "Layout/Margins" ?  Each option affect how the print driver massages the data and/or margins.

I'd like an option where I (QImage) *know* the margins, I can't print on the idiotic margins, and then QImage simply shows me what's left and I can then layout my photos to print...

Any guidance on using QImage with a z3100 is greatly appreciated!
