printing square photos

I've scanned in some old photos that are square (not
rectangular). If I try to print more than one on an 81/2
x 11 piece of paper, the wizard crops them cutting off
people's heads! Only the full page size gives the full
image. Is there a way to print these other than resizing
each one in photoshop and printing them one per sheet?
Thanks.

In the WinXP Photo Printing Wizard, the only
templates that do not auto crop are the Full
Page Fax and the Contact sheet.

Just wondering...doesn't PhotoShop have the
option to print multiples at actual size?

Or, maybe the following freebie will help you:

ArcSoft PhotoPrinter 2.0 LE

If photoshop offers a multiple printing option, I sure
can't find it. I use 5.0 and looked in my reference book
and in their help. I could resize and paste various
photos on to a new page and print that, I guess, but was
hoping for something quicker.

It doesn't seem to make sense that the photo wizard won't
let you print anything other than HUGE or contact shhet
size without cropping. There is no way to print "keep
same size?" What is the point of being able to crop your
shots if you can't print them out the way you want them
cropped? (excuse the rant) I can print that way using
Photoshop, but would rather be able to do it directly
from My Pictures.

On the freebee you suggested, it didn't say it was ok for
Windows XP. It listed all the other Windows versions,
tho.I'm clueless at fixing things that go wrong, so hope
you can reassure me it will be ok for XP before I
click "download." Thanks.

Thanks for letting us know that a rectangle is different
from a square--we never would have been able to figure
that one out on our own. It is your printer driver, by the
way, that dictates the general options available in the
wizard. If, in your printer preferences, the paper size is
set to 8.5 x 11, you will be limited to what the wizard is
capable of doing with that size paper.
 
thanks, Wislu. Using your suggestion I cut the paper in
half, selected that size in paper option, chose full page
fax size and then printed two of the square photos using
only one piece of paper.
