Hi Mark ,many thanks for the data and I have followed your information and have altered the ratio to 3:2 and the paper size remains at 4 x 6 and I am now printing on this size of photo paper corectly as it has achieved the desired result. So now that this has been resolved I will mark the post as solved with thanks to all the input from everybody.
