printing on 6x4 paper prints smaller images

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

If I try & print a picture on 6x4 card (selecting it from the paper
size dropdown menu) the picture always prints at 3.5x5.

How do I print on 6x4 card without manually setting up the margins
etc?

In Photoshop (if you're using that) Resize the image to either dimension
- it won't be exactly 6x4 unless you're printing from a 35mm scan.
Digitals work on a 4:3 ratio meaning you'll get a 6x4.5 or 5.3x4.

By default, most printers will centre the image. In Print setup align it
to one corner - top left usually.
