Hi Perry & Tracy, this is a known bug, see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=505123 . As far as I know there is a patch which just needs to be applied; see my comment #37 in that thread. For now a workaround would be to export the image as png or pdf and print it with another application, (for instance the Windows photo viewer) in 4x6.

OK, so sounds like you're using a Mac, but I don't have one of those so I'll have to let someone else answer from here I'm afraid. Exactly how do you tell the software you are using 4 x 6 photo paper, and when? Can you give the exact list of steps you go through, and say exactly what goes wrong? Also, what printer is it?

Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP Software
Liam, I am using GIMP 2.8.0. If CUPS is for Macintosh, I have OS MS Windows 8.1. I keep telling the software that I am using 4 x 6 photo paper, but it still will not print.

Which Linux distribution and which version of GIMP? You probably have to tell the CUPS printer driver on Linux that you have 4x6 photo paper in your printer when you print. If you are using some other operating system, there's probably something similar in the Print Dialogue.
