I would like to know what would be the best way to work with LightRoom, Qimage and the Epson 3800 printer. What workflow will work best? I can integrate Qimage in LR and then print using LR and/or Qimage. Or I can export images that are ready for printing to a temp file and print from this file via Qimage. Perhaps there additional ways of using this set up?

Fred. I very much appreciate your effort helping me. I think I do understand what your are explaining.
I am away thu Monday and will then be back to you!
That same Monday I expect to receive my new Epson 3880 to replace my "all-in Canon", to which I am looking forward. It is going to be an interesting and busy day investing my limited knowledge in setting up this printer and making the combination with Qimage!
Thanks again
Harry

Thanks for your help!
I still would like to understand why the following seems logical to me, but apparently is incorrect:
When a 3:2 ratio photo shows a size print of 5,59 x 3,73 in the 'view/print queue' and I select in the print driver a paper size of 6 x 4 (which shows a paper size of 5,685 x 3,731 in QI) I tend to expect that since the printing paper size is on both sides larger than the size print, my photo will be printed completely without any cropping. And that therefore even with the cropping tool on there still should be no cropping because there is no need for cropping. The photo should then have on the long side a white strip of 0,315 and on the small side 0,269. However this is not the case!
What mistake am I making?

I will study your reply and in the meantime let you have the resolution of some of my photos: 4272 x 2848.

Fred and Seth,
Thank you for helping me out to solve this print size problem. Although I understand more than before I still have a misunderstanding:
Say my photo shows a size in the View queue of 5,69 x 3,73" and to accomodate this size I put in the print driver a paper size of 7 x 5". In the view page it now tells me that the available paper size is 6,685 x 4,731" which should be ample space to print the photo without any cropping. When I put in Print Properties the 7 x 5" paper size there should be no cropping necessary because the paper to print on is larger than the photo to be printed. But no so. When Auto cropping is on part of the image is being cropped; when "off" I get the complete photo but the print does not fill the complete paper but shows white parts left and right. Why is there auto cropping possible?
I would like to print my photos in such a way that no part is cropped away and that it shows a border of equal sizes around the photo.
Can this be accomplished?
Thanks for your help,
Harry

This is my first time on this Forum. When looking through this Forum I get the hopefully incorrect impression that, given the often 'high-brow'-language used, that to participate in the discussions one needs to have programmer knowledge? I am a hobby photographer living in Belgium and have no programmer capabilities. I tried for some time to work with the trial version of Qimage and this proved to be far from easy! I nevertheless just purchased the Professional edition. I use a Sony Alpha 700 and a Canon MP800R printer. (I expect a new Epson 3800 to be delivered soon) My first problem I hope this Forum will help to solve is:
When printing in Qimage my photos are being cropped at the right and bottom side. When printing on Canon 4 x 6 inch paper, the View Print Queue tells me that my photo has a size of 4,00 x 6,01 in (102 x 153 mm) and the Preview page shows that the paper I am going to print on is 4,003 x 6,006 in (101,6 x 152,5 mm). I would expect that my photo will almost fit the paper with very little cropping. However the cropping is far more than I consider acceptable. When cropping is necessary I will determine myself what to crop away and do not want to leave this to the printer or software.
What can I do to avoid unwanted cropping when printing in Qimage?
Thanks for your help!
