Corel X7 & Desktop Printer Not Playing Nice???

[idsignsil]

I just upgraded to X7 from X6. Now when I crop a photo and or scale anything down to print on the desktop printer, printing out of X7, it does not see it as cropped or scaled down. If I save as a jpeg or pdf and then print that, it prints just fine. I am guessing it is some setting I have missed and or can't find in Corel.

The first pic is the 8.5 x 11 page size with what I want printed at that size. The second pic is what actually prints and what shows up if I go to print preview.

Any help or ideas would be great. The extra step of saving as a jpeg or pdf and then printing is just annoying, it only take a few extra seconds, but it worked just fine in X6.

have you tried to RE-SIZE it in PRINT PREVIEW???? you got to find the outside black dots......to do this..OR in photo paint, change it from present res to a 640 X480 pixels......that WILL FIT on an 8.5 X 11.

OK, So I have played around and tried to figure it out. I tried OldPaint's suggestions and nothing has worked. I have it narrowed down to when I crop a photo in Corel, and I go to print, the photo doe snot print cropped. Anyone else have any ideas?

Also, I have tried it with different files and photo's just so you know it is not just one file or photo.

quickest way would be to convert the crops to bitmap, instead of saving out as a different file type
