I know printing one's own pictures is probably not living simply.........but I suppose it's better than driving a distance to have pictures shipped out somewhere to be printed.
Anyhow.....I know there are a couple folks on here who are into photography, and I thought I'd ask this question of.

I have an Epson PictureMate printer. It's done a great job over the years. When we had Windows XP, it had the Photo Printing Wizard, which was a piece of cake to use. I need to make a contact sheet of some pictures. But now that we have Windows 7 (which doesn't support the Printing Wizard), I just can't figure out how to make a contact sheet. I've watched videos of how to do it, but it doesn't work for me. The PictureMate printer will only allow me to print a 4x6 picture. I need some other software which allows me to make the contact sheet, then I can send it to the PictureMate and it will print what I send.

My brain is different. I can't seem to learn things myself, but if someone shows me, then I become really good at it.

Any experience with this printing problem?
Thanks.

You don't have to ship your pics anywhere to be printed. Do you have a Walgreens near you? You can upload pics to their website, and then the pics will be printed out within a few hours at the store nearest to you (of course, during reasonable business hours, not the middle of the night).

Cathy, I have no experience with Epson's software and little with Windows 7. But what I can tell you is that there is any number of apps out there that probably could do it for you. Epson has some listed on this Web page here (http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?oid=40942&infoType=Downloads&platform=OSF_W_7-32), but they're a little spare on the details; maybe they're somewhere else on their site. It's also possible that you have some other software on your computer, like maybe PowerPoint or a picture-editing program, that offers catalog printing as one of its printing options.
