Sorry, I meant margins. That comes from years ago when you were asked if you wanted borderless prints.
I have a Canon6000I, and I'm using Epson 4 X 6 paper. I've tried center print, fit to print, changed the margins and still can't get 4 equal margins on a 4 X 6. Changed the print size to 5.85 x 3.85. Still no equal margins. The top margin is always wider. The printer is set for 4 X 6 paper. I tried to manually place the image today, but didn't have time to finish. Is manual the way to go? Qimage is the only program that does this.
Weezy

I have a similar question and thought that I should add it to this thread rather than start a new one for the same question/answer.  I have an Epson 4880.  I would like to print an image cropped at 8.5 x 11 on an 8.5 x 11 paper with even margins.  I don't care the actual size of the margins, only that they are even around the print.  In landscape mode, the best I have done is the left and right side are equal, but the bottom is larger margin than the top.  I have tried the "center on physical page" option, with the with the optimal or centered print placement.  The difference between optimal and centered moves the wider space from top to bottom.  In the Q Image preview the image appears centered but on the Epson printer preview of the same image, the margins are unbalanced.

Using the Center on physical page option, it adds additional margin to the top of the page (portrait mode) and the printed top and bottom are equal.  There is no adjustment made to left or right side, and my printed page is uneven.

I am sure this is cockpit error on my part, but I just can't seem to figure it out.

The second part of the question is similar, I would like to print my normal cropped 4x6 images on an 8.5x11 page centered to the maximum print size available.  Again, I don't care about the actual printed image size, just that the boarders are balanced, top and bottom, right and left.

Thanks for your help!!

Just to add to Fred's question:
Can I suggest you supply some numbers. Look in the Full Page Editor on the Size-Position tab. That tells you, on the RHS, the space to the edge of the page.

That seems to indicate that the 4800 does not have equal page margins.
See what else you can tell us so we can make progress on your problem.

I should have said Size/Location tab.
The Size/Loc tab (and Crop tab) are on the right hand side of the FPE screen. You don't double click the image, just select with one left click and the appropriate dimensions appear in the boxes.
See attached screen snap of the Size Location tab below, click on it for a larger view. My dimensions are in mm btw.

You might want to check your driver settings too. Some drivers will have one larger page margin for paper feed purposes; this can usually be set to give maximum print area and equal page margins.
The Qimage Page Formatting menu tell you what the driver margins are.

Keep it coming

I said
At great expense   I downloaded the 4880 driver and installed it.
I think this is the answer, there are options on Printable Area, you need Maximum or Centre. The latter will give a much smaller area than maximum.
See screen snap attached.
Terry.
PS. "Maximum" has equal margins for all practical purposes too.

Yes. See screen snap from Qimage margins menu. I you click Centre, then they become exactly equal at 0.1167 ins

The same wrt margins.
