    Reported Printed images in not centered and does not match preview

    - the printed image does not match the preview
    - the printed images is not centered in X direction, Y is OK.
    - the preview does not match the dimensions

    The printed image is not centered horizontally, vertically is OK.
    The left margin I get is 0.08", right margin is 0.45 inch (wrong)
    The top and bottom margins are 1.05 inches (right).

    I want to print the image in landscape, on 8.5" x 11" paper.

    According to the "Resulting image size on paper", the printed image should be "10.5 x 6.4 inches", and that is correct, that's is what I get, but the preview shows that the printed should be almost 8.5x11 inches: see http://joc.gaj.ca/preview.jpg

    I have Irfanview 4.27, but the problem was also in 3.99.
    I have Win2k, printer Deskjet 5550
    The minimum margins on the printed page are:
    0.07", 0.46", 0.25" and 0.25" (top, bottom, left and right, portrait)

    Am I the only one that the preview does now match the "Resulting image size on paper"?

    The preview shows that the printout should be close to 8.5x11 inch, but the "Resulting image size on paper" (bottom right corner) says that it should be "10.5 x 6.4 inches"?

      Apparently you're the only one who is troubled by such trivial matters. If the image you get on paper matches the size stated on the dialogue, and is what you expect, what is the problem? The preview image is tiny, how could it give anyone an accurate indication of the actual output?

        AFAIK the preview shows what will be included in the "printable" area of the paper. If your printer has unprintable areas at the sides that is not shown by the preview but is included in the "Resulting image size on paper" calculation.
