I was using a 24x30 paper size set to portrait, to nest several images, when it printed they were all distorted, stretched along the long side of the paper. Any suggestions?

Which printer are you using?
Sounds like something in the driver is set to stretch or scale.
Try Help in Qimage and RESET PRINTER. Then manually select paper in the driver, and the quality setting, and if you use a printer profile, set to No color adjustment.

Thanks but I found the problem, while waiting for an answer. I had selected landscape, while at the same time selecting the 24x30 paper size and I guess it just tried to compensate. They looked fine in the preview, which I should have looked just a bit further.

Just to say, Qimage just does not do stretching or distortion at all Roll Eyes It will fit an image into the paper's printable area and size accordingly - and tell you! - but never distort by stretching in one direction only.
 If you did not discover the real problem and can repeat it it is probably a driver problem and worth sorting out for the future, with the help of Fred's advice of course.

Hi Terry,

It was possible to get image distortion in earlier versions of Qimage http://ddisoftware.com/tech/qimage/bug-or-feature/ . It maybe the OP is not running the latest version. But back then, the distortion was visible before printing, in the full page editor and elsewhere, iirc.

Best wishes,

Ray

That was purely in the context of using the test strip feature in a particular way. There's never been a problem with straight-forward prints.
