Well, I reset the printer and color management to the default settings and completed printing 10-8.5 x 11 sheets of 5x7s without an issue (knock on wood).  So far, so good.

Thanks for the speedy reply and more importantly a resolution to my problem.

Hi Fred,

I was able to resize a scan suitable for uploading.  The 'block' or 'patch' can appear anywhere on the printed image, not just the upper right hand corner.

I have been using the Studio version without a problem running under Windows XP with an HP Photosmart C7280.  After upgrading to Vista 64bit and now Windows 7 Professional 64bit (using the same printer with updated drivers) I have been getting the strangest results.  Whether printing a single page or multiple pages, I get, for lack of a better term, a 'block' of the image copied from one part of the image and pasted to another part of the image. I scanned an example but the file size exceeds 128 kb. This problem does not occur when I use ACDSee's FotoSlate's product (but I prefer the output from Qimage).

Please let me know additional info you may need.  I have a Lenovo Thinkpad R61i with 4gb ram.

Thanks in advance for your help.
