solving this for today's deadline by changing the image print size to 26x26.
Curiously, this allows BOTH the right and left rotate arrows to rotate 90 degrees per click, as expected.  (whether it's a 36x28 or a 36x30 paper size selection)

Okay.... trying this!  I previously had this set to 36wx28h, borderless printing. The paper is 36wide.

Changed my paper size in the printer to 36x30, still borderless. Experiencing the same thing re final print image area 24" tall. Another curiosity experienced that I don't quite understand -- using the left rotate button will rotate the image 180. Using the right rotate button has no effect on the image.

Thanks for the reply! The roll is 36" wide. I set the height to 28".  I didn't think about the printer settings. Changing the printer settings from portrait to landscape (while it changes the orientation of the paper in the screen) does nothing to get the correct dimensions of the image on the paper.  I am getting a warning about the paper being wider than it is tall, but we often print with that situation.
The image is sized to the correct dimensions, but the height stays 24", while the width goes to 26". I really just want the height to be 26"! Smiley

Hi. I need some help!  Smiley
 I'm trying to specify print width x height (24wx26h), printing from a much smaller, rectangular landscape image (think 10wx5h).
Locking the orientation to force the direction of height.
Allowing crop/fit to size.

It doesn't matter what dimension I type first, ie, 26x24 or 24x26, the result is a 26"w x 24" tall. Over and over again. It doesn't matter if I unlock the orientation. Same result.

v. 2020.109, win10.

What am I missing?

Fred, you're awesome. Thanks for the reply, and setting up that size just to test my somewhat confusing post.  (My text is part of my image. I'm printing an image that is all text with descending letters like "g" that were cutting off.) I think that I may have solved it by removing a setting that had a 2" border on one edge. Maybe it was a legacy setting from another print, I'm clueless to why it was there.  But I'm printing now, and the result is truly, beautifully borderless! Yay! Many thanks again for your reply.

Solved, perhaps. Even though I had borderless printing selected, even though I had the full page size set correctly, the expansion set correctly, and the crop to size selected, there was a setting that had a border set on only one edge. As far as I know, I didn't put it there! But I sure can remove it!  Smiley  Looking to print a sample shortly.

Hello all.  Calling for help from the experts.

I am trying to print several 36" x 288" banners with not-quite-to-the-edge borderless printing on an epson 9900. Win10.
Full disclosure: I am not 100% familiar with qimage, and I just *minutes ago* installed the 2017 update from the 2016 version. The 9900 drivers were updated within the last month or so also.

I frequently print borderless using the epson driver or other software. It seems to me that I have setup the printer with the correct size, borderless printing, etc. But the preview/print show that my image is cropped and is NOT printing to the edge. I can not figure out how to get around this? I found a place to set the margins, and checked that they are zero.  To make things slightly more complicated, I have had to create reduced size image files to import them into qimage. So, the images must be enlarged to fit onto the sheet when printed. It appears the "fit to page/notcropped" prints a smaller image with all the parts on the page. The "fit to page/print area" combined with "allow crop" allows the image to expand to the proper size, but it crops my text and insists on a border with no printing. 

What am I missing? How can I achieve full-width paper size print?
