GIMP Version: 2.10.20.1 Operating System: Windows OS Version: Windows 10 build 19041.450 GIMP Experience: New User I am using GIMP to create images for sublimation printing. I have an Epson WF7720 printer. I set the page size to 11x17 or 13x19 and create an image. When I print GIMP crops off the image as if it were still 8.5x11" If I change the printer to Microsoft PDF I can create a full size image and then print that. What am I missing? BTW: Extra points if you can help me tile extra large images. I currently create an image in Gimp then take it into Inkscape to cut it up into printer page size chunks. |

Hi vanwilliam. Just for clarification, when you say you set the 'page size' to say 11x17, is that the 'canvas size' on which you created your image? Did you check/set in Gimp 'File>Page setup' your printer output paper sizes. I think the default setting there would be 'letter' size i.e. 11x8.5 |

First I set the image size when creating a new image to 13x19 in. When I go to File-Page Setup and change the setting to Super B (13x19) it doesn't seem to stick. Once set I can reopen File-Page Setup and it's back to Letter 8.5x11. |
