What application opens when you right click on a picture? In my case
(Vista Ultimate) I get a "Print Pictures" application from Microsoft
that has tabs to select the printer type, quality, paper type and paper
size. In the "Options" area (at the bottom right) are some printer
settings options including "Only show options that are compatible with
my printer. Certain combinations of paper type, paper size, and print
quality may not print will of be available with all printers...".
Uncheck this box, it may give you more printing options (but not
necessarily better prints, depending on your source file.
