| Thank you so much Paul. The problem is, i work for the police/government, and they are very strict with programs... there is no printer software installed. When i print something out, it gives me some options, but it has to be a ready made sheet in some program. I cant add pics in it and then print. Thats why, at work, i need to add the jpg to Word and then print it. I have the XP's "Paint" in my pc too but i think its no use? Thank you for your time and i will copypaste your info and save it.

Just open the printer program and select the file from the memory stick. The printer program probably has the tools to orient the graphic to the page. Check the printer manual, if you have access to it, or, if not, go to the printer manufacturer's web site for information on how to and what file types it can handle. To determine size, first decide how big the final print image should be in inches, millimeters or whatever. Using 1 mm = 0.03937007874 inch, resolution for print should be between 150 to 300 pixels per inch or, approximately, 5.906 to 11.811 pixels per mm. Multiply your base unit, inches or millimeters by the appropriate number for each side of the image and you have the size in pixels that the image must be for print. When you set the size and rsolution in your graphics program, PSP or PS, set both the pixel dimensions and the resolution in pixels per inch or mm. To see it correctly displayed in your graphics program, choose to view 'original' or 'actual' from the view menu. any other view distorts the image dimensions or the colors and shapes within the image. 'Fit to screen' is best for overall dimensions, but not colors. Check the clors in 'actual' view.
