Get Irfanview:(And the Plug-ins)
http://www.irfanview.com/
Change the "Open with" default to Irfanview, left-click (I'm a big fan
of the "Single click to open" option). Once it's open, Ctrl-P brings up
the print dialogue which let's you print at any size or scroll through a
folder.
I've seen some very confused computers, with multiple camera and
scanning software installs, that behaved very badly indeed.
