Unable to print correct paper size with Print Creator

[Melissa Mendelsohn]

Hi All,

I have followed this thread and installed 5.8.0 but I still cannot print anything but a thumbnail image.
Is there anything you can suggest I do to change the size?
I have tried resizing using GIMP to print as well to no avail
Thanks in advance..
Melissa
