I know you say printing is a non-eta + probably won't do, but it bit me again today.
The component used (and in image/fax viewer) can't really handle any images that aren't somehow perfect. I have a simple almost square image, 271x258. There is no combination of settings I can use to get it to print out acceptably, and in fact each and every one of them crops or does something else undesirable.
So far I have yet to be able to get paint.net to print anything, really, that wasn't already in the proper aspect ration and huge. e.g a digital photo.
So, i know it's not high up on the list but perhaps there is a different component out there that is available that could be used? Maybe talk to the XnView guys, since that is what I use for simple printing now. Not super duper, but works well enough for printing buttons, cartoons, little signs, and the rest of the basics. And yes, I would use pshop for something super important, not that they will buy it for me here at work!
Thanks for all the hard work,
