I'm a long-time Irfanview user. The program was progressively improved with useful features, and it performed well with Windows 95 through Windows XP operating systems. With Windows Vista and Windows 7, I experienced printing difficulties.
I'm using a Hewlett-Packard Officejet Pro K850 printer for 4-inch x 6-inch photos. The K850 accepts sheet sizes up to 13-inch x 19-inch, but will not print borderless pictures. It leaves a 0.2-inch border at the top and sides and a 0.5-inch border at the bottom. HP offers 4 x 6 photo paper with a 0.5-inch "tab" (tear-off strip) at the bottom. The printer driver lists "4 x 6 photo w/tab" as a standard sheet size. The tab allows printing closer to the bottom edge of the photo.
With Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating systems, Irfanview prints as if standard photo paper (without a tab) was used, leaving a 0.5-inch border at the bottom. I don't know if this error originates with the operating system, with the printer driver or with Irfanview.
I created a custom paper size in the printer setup using dimensions of 4-inch x 6.5-inch. Still, I couldn't get Irfanview to print with even borders. With this custom sheet size in Microsoft Word, I can position a picture toward the top of the sheet and print with even borders on all sides.
Except for printing, Irfanview performs very well under Windows Vista and Windows 7. I would like to be able to print from Irfanview, as it is convenient to crop, edit, etc. and then print from Irfanview without having to save changes.
