Sorry if this is a newbish question, but I can't seem to figure it out.

When I try to print an image in Gimp, it refuses to believe that I'm using regular 8x11 paper. It's always set on "DL Envelope" even when I change it in Print Preferences and Print Settings. When I go to print (after setting it to 8x10) the printer spits out the image at about 4x5 inches.

Thanks for any help.

Re-installing the printer could help. Otherwise, you can always save the image to file (JPG/PNG) and print it use some other software (Windows own image viewer, for instance). If you need accurate print dimensions a possible trick is to include the picture in a MS-Office/OpenOffice document and specify its print dimensions.
