I've got the printer driver set at 8.5 x 11, Qimage the same
This sounds like you have the PAGE size set as 8.5x11.

The requested print size is 8.5 x 11
You have the page size and the print size the same. As Dennis has said, it wont work unless you use borderless setting in the driver.
The printable area is always smaller than the page size unless set to borderless.
Page size and print size are not the same parameters!
Qimage is reporting at top 8.263 x 9.975
The difference between the 11" page size and 9.975" print size does seem to be large but this comes from the driver unless, by some chance you have set additional margins in QU. Check Edit/Preferences/Page & print formatting/margins. Click clear margins to be sure. In that window you see exactly what the driver says the page margins are.
Assuming there were no additional margins set in QU, you need to check the driver; there may be some extra set there or it's what your driver does.
To help us clear this up, please specify ALL details as follows:-
the image size in pixels,
the print size required, landscape or portrait format?
the page size specified (set in the driver from QU in Printer/Page setup)
The printable areas reported by QU above the page preview.
Are you using roll or sheets?

"Poster mode" is indicated
That is because the prints size specified is too large for the printable area.
and there is window for disks D:/ and C:/ instead of the database window.
Not sure what you mean here, are you referring to the panel above the thumbnails with the folder tree?
If, so, you just need to browse in the normal way.
The QU database window is something separate and not visible until a DB search is opened.
Some screen shots would be helpful here! Please answer all the questions above, precise dimensions required.
