"Irfanview does not have multi-image options, but it's great for a quick one off with easily changed size options."

Press T in Irfanview for the Thumbnail view, which does batch resizing, etc. I believe it will print contact sheets, not sure about the watermarks.

Can't speak to photo printing layout programs in Linux, but there are 
many available in Windows.  (And we seem to have a decent presence in 
the digiKam world.)  For ten years I have found an HP program that came 
with their digital cameras very handy, especially with its three 
staggered photos on a page for albums option.  Irfanview does not have 
multi-image options, but it's great for a quick one off with easily 
changed size options.  And Canon's EZ PHoto Print and Pro version of the 
same always get rave reviews as part of Canon printer reviews.  They are 
free to download and work with any Windows/Mac printer.  Or, I guess, 
maybe through WINE?

Almost all photo editing programs offer some printing options, of 
course, but these are the ones I am fond of.
