Thanks Mike. Now I have my 4mm back I'm not sure I want it. Yeah no pleasing some folks!!! You see I'm in Australia. Do all my prints here. Then carry them in my baggage to the USA. (200+ this trip). Before I leave Australia I order all my backing board, matboard and show bags for delivery in the USA. Then set to work in the hotel room mounting them all before delivery. So my sizes have to exact to match the cutout in the matboard. To make it easy I simply reorder my standing order for matboards etc. So with any change I need to redo all my measurements.
Ah so what's the big deal I hear you say. Well those 4mm hid a small change in the ratio of the prints. That small change has thrown out the matboard sizes. So getting back to being lazy I my go back to the missing 4mm.

Users ask for all these features then get in a mess using them!!!!!

Thanks Mike. Thats done the trick.
'Fit to page'.

Question - Use new print size. Hot sizing = off/on. Left side. Do I select the size first then turn Hot sizing on or off. Or do I turn it on or off before selecting the size?

regards

I think I messed up somewhere!!! I'm printing on A4. I have 'Print Properties (297.0 x 210.0)'. Fit to paper. Yet when I print the printed image is missing approx 2mm on each border. (4mm total width and height are missing). The printers dialogue box is checked for 'Borders'. I don't want or need Borderless. Does this sound right? Or where else has my 2mm gone? (My preveiw show the whole image but when printed it's missing the surrounding 2mm).

I was clever enough to delete my old settings. Not. So I can't check what I did have before!!

regards

Thanks Fred A. That's basically what I did.

The 'problem' with programs such as QImage is that I only use them for printing and only when I get large orders. Thus what I learn I forget between jobs.
Still the best way to do the printing though.

OK. I thought twice about being lazy. Not a good idea!!!

I eventually decided to start from scratch. Now I have 2 nice new 'QImage print jobs'.

What I thought I have forgotten wasn't so bad after all.

Sorry but I'm being lazy here. My trusty old Epson 1410 died. So because I have a large consignment to print I purchased an Epson 1430. Same everything. Just a newer version. Same ink etc etc etc.
I have 2 two 'QImage print Jobs' saved that I recall for printing. Both of these include the various paper, ink, printer etc profiles.

Is there an 'easy' way to edit those already existing 'QImage print Jobs' and simply change the printer profile without having to create a new 'QImage print job'?
I had to delete the old printer from my system and install the new printer software.
It's over 3 years since I set it all up and can't recall how I did it. It's an age thing!!!!

Thanks
Bruce

Sorry guys. I've been on the road and when I got back I had printer issues. So I'm only just getting going again. But interestingly the first time I clicked on + to load a photo I got 2 in the queue!!

It's a very random thing. I'm still looking very suspiciously at my mouse.

But I'm almost finished this task. So I'm off overseas for a few months. When I get back I'll see what happens. But Epson has made it hard for me to get cartridges for my printer so I may have to replace it. Then I'll be starting over again.

thanks

Thanks guys.

Keep in mind that my routine has been the same for a year or two since first purchasing QImage. I'm too lazy to make changes!!!

Yes Fed a printer setup.
No I'm paranoid about wasting paper so I know I'm only press the + once. There's benefits in being 'mean'. 
Zebra button? Don't even know what to do with it! So I avoid it.
I haven't the facilities to make a video. Sorry.

Way back in the dark past I was a systems analysis. And program designer. Heh heh when a 5 meg hard drive was a big time dream. And loading a program from a cassette was high tech. I ended up specializing in DBase. My point being I have an understanding of how things work.

Yesterday I printed just two A3+ prints. No issues at all. This morning I've started to print with no issues. So it's a random thing. That's why I suspected the mouse.

As I said it's not stopping my work. It's just making me slow down and check all the settings before hitting print. I'm almost finished this print assignment. Then I'm off overseas for a couple of months. So in a few days QImage will be put into hibernation for a few months.

Thanks for the help. It's a mystery. When I get time I will wipe my printer setups and start again.

regards

Thanks Fred. I'll download the video asap. (I have bandwidth and speed issues).

OK maybe 'Jobs' is not a good term. File/Recall. There I have saved various print jobs. ie settings for printer, paper, profiles etc. So I have an A4 setup saved and an A3+ setup. Those two I use all the time. As you would know they set all the printing criteria. There are NO photos/files associated with these settings. They simply set up page size and the printing criteria. Once I select one of those setting and then click Open I can move onto selecting which file I want to print by clicking on the + and then print it. My files are all in the one folder which I never change. It's my print folder.
It's not stopping me from printing. It just means that I have to check all the setting/number of prints before I hit OK to print.

regards

Fred I got a WeTransfer notice this morning. Due to poor internet service it maybe a while before I get a chance to download it. 200+ meg will choke the bandwidth.

Ok this mornings adventure!
I turned QImage on. Went to File/Recall. Selected my Job/Preset, call it what you like, Selected my A3+ setting. Then went down and ensured Print Queue was visible. I then found my file that I wanted to print. Clicked on the +. Immediately 2 files opened in Print Queue. One click and two jobs in the Queue!!!

I right clicked. Clicked on Clear Queue. This happened 3 times. Then finally I got just 1 print job in the queue.

Over to you. 

regards

Fred if I open a photo, (click the +), then go to Recall and click on a job, say A4, click open everything 'seems' ok. I'll print an A4 no worries. When that print is finished the queue is empty. The top right preview pane is empty. Then I'll go to another photo and click the +. Opens fine. But now, not always, I get a duplicate in the queue. The box/Sample, bottom right above Job Properties, will have gone from 1 to 2. Top box 'Copies to add' is 1. If I have forgotten to change from A4 to A3+ I go up to Recall. Click on my A3+ job and click open. The Sample is now 3.
Now to add a new twist!!! The top right preview pane changes from Landscape to Portrait. ? Again not always. Also sometime when changing from A4 to A3+ the preview pane doesn't always change. I get the A3+ size but with an A4 print sized photo.

I have about a weeks worth of work to finish up my current assignment. I can't afford to play around at the moment. When I've finished printing I think I'll follow you suggestion and look for corruption in my Jobs.

At the moment, provided I keep a close eye on the settings and make changes when they change I'm ok. It's only when I get lazy and take my eye of the settings that I'm getting caught.

regards

Er sorry guys. The cat doesn't work. This morning I started up QImage. Yesterday I was printing A4's. Today opened a photo. Then went to Recall and selected the Job I have saved for A3+. Bingo. I got 2 jobs in the print queue!!!
So should I have done a Recall on the A3+ job 'before' opening a photo? A workflow issue!

regards

Just an update. I'm now blaming the mouse! I have sorted out the mouse and haven't had an issue since. Touch wood! Seems the mouse was doubling up at some point when I had thought I had clicked once it's sensitive tantrums were registering more than one print.

regards

No always the mouse. But I do think the mouse may be the issue. I often have to double click to register. So I'll keep an eye on it.
The 'Copies to add' is now always on 1 before I start.
In the progress dialogue window that shows the moving bar as it prints in the top right hand corner it shows as 0/1. But on the double print it shows as 1/2.

I was going to swap to A3+ today but found I had missed some A4's. So I printed them. No issues. But I have been very watchful of my mouse use.

I'm going to swap out the mouse and see it's doing a double register somewhere.

regards

OK some clarity.

With 'normal' printing the progress bar moves 100% across. But when I get the 'duplicate' the progress bar only goes halfway before the printer politely throws a tantrum.
If I print with the 'Print Queue', bottom right hand corner, displayed the print job disappears after a 'normal' print job. But with the double print the 'Print Queue' shows two jobs.

I assumed that if the paper was our of alignment or something like that the progress bar would be 'normal'. But as I said it only goes halfway. So It's looking for a second piece of paper to print a second print.

I'm positive it's not in the printer settings. Somehow QImage is getting a message to print two copies.

I have to move onto A3+ prints tomorrow and I have a Job set up for that. A Job that I have use many times before. So it will be interesting to see what happens with a new Job setting. (Keep in mind I have use the same workflow/settings/Job now for well over 2 years and 300+ prints. So far this is the first actual printing issue).

The only other 'maybe' is that I've recently had mouse issues. Maybe the mouse is confusing something somewhere.
