Yes!
In Windows Explorer, go to Tools|Folder Options|File Types. Scroll down
and select an image filetype. Click on the "Advanced" button.
Highlight the "Print" action, and click on the "Edit" button. Here you
can change what program Windows runs when you select Print from the right-
click menu on this type of file.
Repeat for each of the types of graphics files you commonly use.

If "open with" for images is set to Microsoft Office Picture Manager or Windows Image and Fax Viewer, then "Photo Printing Wizard" popus up. If HP Image Zone Express is the "open with" for images, then that pops up. The problem is that these offer ONLY fixed shape/size image printing (8x11, 5x7, etc.) and it takes my image, which may be a 2x3 scanned business card or a 4x4 scanned image from a book and blows it
up and rotates it and chops part of it off to make it fit one of its prescribed shapes/sizes (who thought THIS one up?).

Any way to get right-click-print on images to bring up the same printer software that prints documents or to use paint to PRINT without my having to give up having standard left clicking on an image to bring up on of my image VIEWERS that can PAGE through images?? There should be a way to print an image in its ORIGINAL/CURRENT shape & size without having the software mangle it so it is useless. Anyone know of an image printing software that doesn't manhandle the images into some
pre-selected size and shape, but will print the actual image as it is?
