In XP (Home ed.) how do you simply print pictures their
original size? E.g. I have scanned a 9"x7" item into a
tif or jpg. I want it to print exactly 9x7 as scanned,
not expanded to the paper size or printed in various
mutlti-up configurations suitable for photos.
The W/Explorer right click menu Print option brings up a
utility, obviously designed for standard photos, that has
NO option for "print same size". If I print from the
image viewer, I get exactly the same utility. The default
for viewing & printing most if not all image types is a
utility called shimgvw, which I presume is what I'm
getting. Even if I drag & drop the image on the printer,
it expands it to full page!
The only workaround I have found so far is to import the
image into MSWord, which WILL print it original size if
the margins are sufficient.
Surely there is some simple way to _just_ print an image
as is (or a simple text file for that matter)in XP without
overly friendly software getting in the way? I cannot
find any method or system setting in Windows Help or
knowledge base to do this. No doubt there is third party
sofware that will print original size, but all I want is a
simple right click option or a Send To that doesn't resize.
