The size is not right when printing.

[Brian Mullins]

When I print photos using the Windows XP Photo Printing Wizard the picture
seems like it has zoomed in a little bit. How do I fix this?

Thanks,
Brian Mullins

If the aspect ratio of your original is different than
the template...some auto cropping may occur.

If you notice the captions under the templates...
they say, "Cropped and Rotated to fit".

This is on my grandma's computer where it does that, but I can print a pic
on mine and it works fine. We both have win xp but we do have different
printers.

The printer is on the list, so I will try upgrading the driver. Thanks for
you help, I will tell you if it works.

=======================================
Printer drivers are not all the same...maybe your
grandma's needs to be updated. Check the website
of her printer's manufacturer for the most current WinXP
driver. If you find one that's newer than the one she
is currently using...it may help to download and install it.

For some older printers, the only XP driver available
is the one that WinXP installs. These drivers are functional
but are not as full featured as the version that was written
for the earlier OS.

The following links show a list of printer drivers included
in WinXP.

I ran the test provided HP and it says that I have the most up to date
driver. I am just going to buy a new printer.

This is on my grandma's computer where it does that,
but I can print a pic on mine and it works fine. We both
have win xp but we do have different printers.
