I just noticed something that may be relevent.
I set the placement for optimal spaced. When I then customise for 2 colums and 4 rows, the 8 red bounded cells are there but the placement has changed to template/centered print placement. If I then reselect optimal spaced, the red boundary lines disappear. Somehow the program is just not sizing the images to the selected size and not placing them within the frame accurately which I think it should do automatically.
What is the borderless/overspray tool supposed to be set at. I have tried both.
Margins are set as per the driver settings.

Again, thanks for all the attention.
I have now customed the print job with A4 paper to 2 columns and four rows.
The blank preview shows 8 cells bounded in red.
As I click the thumbnails they go into the preview pane cells (but sometimes slightly outside the red lines.
I have placed four images but when I click on a fifth, instead of going into the fifth cell, it starts another page.
Its totally frustrating. I thought I knew the program really well.

Thanks Fred
What I'm attempting to do is use A sized papers (entered on the printer setup). Also setting the Qimage prieview page to the same A size.
I've been custom setting the print properties to 'custom', two columns and one row.
I then place panorama shaped pictures onto the page.
If the proportions of the selected print mean that there are white spaces on the short ends, all works fine.
If however the image has a narower height so the print elongates, instead of Qimage stopping the print at the edges of the paper and adjusting the height, it runs the last bit onto the next page.
Its bizarre! In the past it has never done this. I have never had a setting in the past for 'Output Paper size' which is set to same as paper size. Can't imaging this is a factor.
Ta again

Thanks for all comments
Seems strange that the 4800 can't guarantee to print on the bottom of the paper.
I'm a long term Qimage user and never had the problem of an image being too big for the page. Qimage always sized the print to fit the page automatically. Thats the best thing about the brilliant program. Its worked like that with every other printer I've used. Its just some setting with the 4800. I'm now having to manually re-size the print to bring it comfortable into the frame. Rather defeats the point.
Anyone any other ideas?

I just changed my printer from an Epson2400 to a 4800.
I now have a couple of possibly related problems. On an A4 prieview screen, the bottom of the page is greyed out and the margin seems set at 14mm. THis never happened with any other printer I've used before.
When I select an image which fills the prieview OK apparently, sometimes, when printing and without warning, a small portion of the image overflows to the next page and wastes a sheet.
Checked the full page editor and it doesn't show any sign of overflow. Is there a problem incompatibility with the 4800 driver or am I just missing something simple. Been a Qimage user for years with several printers and never had this problem before.
Help please
