I am using legal size matte paper.  i did a test print and this is how it came out.  Image seems to also be cut off even though it is small

here are my settings in GIMP.  I am on a mac.  Let me know if anything is off, i'm having a feeling it is either something with the size or the dpi.  gimp says the image is 3366x2100

Looks like the problem is margins. set the document to be centered, or set equal margins on each side. and disable ignore margins.

rich2k4:

nope, did that and it is still printing very small.  This is getting very annoying.

what options do you have for resolution settings? It's at 300x300. Use default or image default or what ever option there is for the default or the image's dimentions.

i managed to print the covers using mac's regular "preview" program
