You have a serious sarcasm problem. If you have nothing helpful to
say you might occasionally want to consider saying nothing at all.
To the OP, I like Canon Easy Photo Print 3.0. Not sure if it works
with other brands of printers, but might be worth a look:

I think PhotoMeister is good. It has a nice slide show presenter as
well, and other features.

Hey, I never thought of that. I just bought a brand new printer this morning
and haven't taken it out of the box yet. I bet it comes with software that
works well with Vista.

It's almost impossibe to see, but in the paragraph below the first
three screenshots, the last line says:
"To download Easy-PhotoPrint version 3 combined with Easy-PhotoPrint
Plus now, click here."
Click on the words "click here."
From there, it will ask you to specify your product. That's not
really critical, because you'll wind up downloading the same file for
the latest XP/Vista version. I suggest selecting:
1) Printers
2) i Series
3) i350
From there, you're taken to a page that asks for your OS (XP, Vista,
etc.) That DOES matter.
From there (and this also matters) download the non-EX version (it
only works with Canon Bubble Jet printers).
If you're running XP or Vista, the filename you want is:
eppwin370en.exe

Go to HP's site and lookup the support for you particular model of HP
printer. They probably have a software suite (driver + utilities) that
will include a newer version of what you have that is 10 years old.
Start at http://welcome.hp.com/country/ca/en/support.html. Pick
"Download drivers and software", enter your model, and pick your OS (not
mentioned in your post). You may only get the driver and monitoring
software in this suite as the extras are probably separate on the
install CD.
The HP Photosmart software is nothing much more than a catalog utility
with a few editing functions. You could also use Google's Picasa,
Windows Live Photo Gallery, Irfanview, XnView, MS-Paint, Paint.NET,
PhotoStudio, Paint Shop, and lots of other editing or viewing utilities
and why I asked if whatever you were using didn't have a Print function.
I couldn't think of one that I've used or trialed that wouldn't print.
Editing programs would have a lot more features than the meager utility
from HP, and they have a Print function, too.
If all you wanted to do was print, even the Windows Picture and Fax
Viewer can do that. Double-click on the image file, or right-click on
it, to open it in WPFV and then print it from there. You can also start
WPFV by running (on one line as a command or for a shortcut):
%windir%\system32\rundll32.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen
Then navigate to the file to open it and then print it.

It's called disbelief, Ron, not sarcasm. I haven't yet seen an editing
or viewing program for image files that did not have a Print function.

He's looking for more than a print "function". He's looking for
printing "software", i.e. a program that offers far more options.
There's a great difference in functionality between the two.

Your definition may not match the OP's definition. The OP never
explained WHAT he was looking for.
"I want a car".
What type of car? There are LOTS of them and "car" could mean more than
a passenger vehicle. "Printing software" is just as vague. By what the
OP said, how do you know that scanner software that immediately directs
its output to the printer was excluded?

OK, I saw it. It's only for Cannon products. My printer is a HP. I
sometimes need to size printed pics "off" sizes and of good crisp quality. I
can't find any printer program that does that. Not even for standard sizes
like 5X7 or 8X10. They don't ask how many DPI you want. Some pics are
grainy or even pixilated. I had excellent software for my old W98 PC but it
wont work on Vista.

Then ask questions that make sense. Yes, they all have printing capability,
but not all give you the choice of how many DPI or the size you want such as
5X7 or 8X10. I need crisp clear prints in those sizes and it's not what I'm
getting with the software I have.

I already took that route. It's almost exactly the same as the original
version, with no more functionality than I already have.

They're all basically the same. There is little choice of the size and
quality of the pics once printed. One 5X7 will come out crisp and another
will be pixilated. Or they don't come out 5X7 but some other size regardless
of crispness. There's no function asking for dpi or "quality" for the
printed pics.

PhotoFiltre is good editing software but if I print through that the 5X7"
pics can be any size depending on PX per inch. How the hell do I get a
crisp 5X7" pic with 200+ DPI?

Was that before or after your post? Was it after Ron suggested
downloading of HP's Solution Centre?

Irfanview:
- Open the image file.
- Image -> Resize/Resample menu.
- Enter the new DPI value (my original image was 300 DPI which I lowered
to 200 DPI but is rather meaningless if I select physical dimensions
for resampling the image to a new physical size).
o You'll probably want to preserve the aspect ratio unless you want a
specific size regardless of the current aspect ratio.
o Enable "Apply Sharpen" if you want to keep the pic sharp after
resizing.
- Select "Set new size".
o In your case, select inches and enter "7" and "5" (width x height).
The image I selected was originally 3.4 x 2.2 inches.
* What dimensions get used depends on whether or not you preserve
the aspect ratio. The values will change to match what is the
current aspect ratio.
* If you want specific dimensions, disable the "Preserve aspect
ratio" option.
- Click OK.
I wasn't going to waste color ink on the above test. The B&W printout
of the resized and resharpened image printed okay for me, plus its
physical dimensions on the paper were 5x7 inches. If you don't want to
change the image file itself, either don't save your changes to the file
or use the Print dialog in Irfanview which lets you select custom width
and height (but no resharpen option).
This was but one example. Paint.NET also let me resize by DPI and
physical size (and you select which sampling scheme to use for the
interpolation for the resizing). Other editors should have similar
functionality.

I changed the pic from 1700X1226 to 5X7" and clicked *OK*. Irfanview saved
the 1700X1226 the exact same size!!!!!!!!!!!! The size was not changed at
all. Now I remember why I stopped using IrfanView some time back. I wasn't
happy with it then either.

Then isn't HP's Photosmart, what Ron suggested, what you had already
tried a month earlier? Or was it the old version of Photosmart that
came on the CD with the printer? Apparently there has been a change
(perhaps major) in that software; see:
http://www.hp.com/united-states/consumer/digital_photography/free/software/faq_ww_ca_en.html#faq0
It doesn't list what features were added in the latest version so trying
the latest version will be the only way to find out if it has whatever
features you were looking for, like resizing photo files. However, from
the other FAQs, it appears this software is primarily to store your
photos online (talks about uploading them, sharing them, and logging
into your account) so it might be nothing more than a cataloguer
utility. On the product's home page, it says "Organize, edit, print,
share, and enjoy your photos with HP Photosmart Essential". They do
mention edit so it might do some.
If you don't want to pollute your host trialing this software to see if
it has the features that you want, you might want to test it inside a
virtual machine. Both VirtualPC 2007 and VMWare Server are free but
you'll need another license of Windows to have a legitimate guest
(virtual machine) running Windows to then install this software to see
what it can do. VMs work very well for trialing software. If you don't
want it or after the trial, you just revert back to the initial state
and you've got a clean VM again and without polluting your host OS.

My result was that the resized image (from 3.4x2.2) did print at the new
size (5x7). I even took out a ruler and measured the dimensions of the
printed picture.
I didn't bother saving the modified image file in my prior test. I
opened the same original file (1024x674 pixels, 3.4x2.2 print size),
resized it to 7x5 (which mean disabling the "preserve aspect ratio"
option) with the resharpen option enabled, and image immediately changed
its visual size on the screen. I then saved the modified image into a
different file.
I closed Irfanview. In Windows Explorer, I right-clicked on the new
image file I just saved to select opening it in Irfanview. When I used
the Image -> Information menu, the metadata said that image had a print
size of 7x5 (width x height). I printed another B&W copy of the image.
This one would be for the saved modified image; that is, I opened the
image file and printed it without any editing this time (to use whatever
dimensions it had when saved before). It was 7 inches wide x 5 inches
high on the paper instead of the original smaller size.
That's as much paper and ink that I'm going to waste on this test. You
wanted to see an image editor that would resize an image and print it at
that size. Worked for me.

Did for me. I used the File -> Save As menu to save the modified image
into a different file and the new size changes stuck in that new file.
I tested using version 4.20 of Irfanview.

So you just assumed everyone knows your operating system.
Sorry, my crystal ball is in the shop.

In the subthread where I give a specific example of how to use Irfanview
to resize the image, and where Sal claims it won't "stick" for him, I'm
starting to see that, yep, I might've gotten suckered by a troll. He
even claimed to have tried the HP PhotoSmart software a month before he
posted but then he lauds Ron for pointing him to the same solution.
Sal's on his own now. If he can't figure out how to do it in Irfanview
with the hand-holding step by step instructions then he will need
something more than just "printing software" for his professed need for
some undefined solution.
VanguardLH
Yes, we've seen how helpful have been your "solutions" to Sal. Might
you eventually get around to providing Sal with a real solution?

Amazing how much BS from Message-ID x-privat.org. I've set my reader

dialogue, I did note that the bottom line was actually in reference to not
being able to print out an image from a photo editing/viewing program. In
this reference, sometimes, you can right click on the photo and save it to a
separate file, which can then be printed out. In addition, when the image is
up on the screen, hold down the shift key and hit PRTSC, to capture an image
on the screen to the clipboard. Then simply open a work processor, paint
and/or graphics program, and 'paste' the saved image from the clipboard to
this program, which should then be printable.
I hope this helps.
Smooth sailing to all...

It was older software that came with the old printer. There is very little
you can do with it. No clone tool. No boarders. I'm downloading the newer
software tonight. The connection is slow as molasses.

Unless it's totally revamped, the editing is rudimentary. It's mainly for
printing. I downloaded several Editing programs last night. I'll have time
tomorrow to start trying them all and see which two or three are the best.

That's a bit beyond my expertese.
I can't seem to make the conversion and preserve the aspect ratios on my
own. The pics become deformed.

I can try it again but without the "preserve aspect ratio" engaged, how do I
keep the pic from deforming? Are you somehow converting pixels to inches?

Thanks for all this info. I'll give it another try. :^)

Sue,
While you obviously don't care, there may be some that actually do. All I
was doing was describing possible ways to indeed print out images that are
not normally printable from some photo album programs. This had nothing to
do with stepping over the so-called line, and/or treading on the waters on
the internal cliques. Sorry if you feel threatened. That is reserved for the
true trolls.

With no due respect, shut the fuck up. Get off your high horse and learn

In the last few days there have been several forgeries using Gabrix.
All are X-No-Archive. I guess Gabriele needs asking once again to block
all Gabrix postings to ACF.
