I am having a bit of bother with my printer or my computer.
The problem arises when I go to print an A4 Size Photo I am running Windows XP and photoshop CS2.
What size should I have in the Boxes for this size because I am losing some of my picture on the longest end.
Should I be doing something is Canvas Size or Image Size ??????
Please Help if you can.
Chers.

I think you will find its the aspect ratio and you should crop your image to 1.414:1. Printing a crop with this ratio should fit A4 a treat. More techie peeps should be along to explain more but I think its the sqyuare route of 2?

Yeah, the height-to-width ratio of all pages is the square root of two (1.4142 : 1). If you put two A4 sheets of paper together side by side, you still have the same ratio, but now you have a A3 sheet of paper!!
If you do not want to crop your images, you'll have to live with large white borders, because you will have to print smaller to fit the page, and the sides will be left white.
Edit : Tell us the dimensions of your image, and at what DPI you are printing.
