Printing Problem in Photo "Gallery

I'm new to Vista. In XP Pro .tif files were opened in WinFax Viewer. In
Vista, it defaults to Photo Gallery. When I try to print a .tif from Photo
Gallery, it takes the page that is suppose to be on a 8 1/2" X 11" (11" is
the height of the page) and displays it to print on a 11" X 8 1/2" page (8
1/2" being the height of the page) and prints it "squooshed down" and
"elongated". In the printer options it will let you rotate the page 180
degrees, but not 90 degrees, which is what I need for it to print properly.

How can I fix this problem?

Try changing the orientation.
Click on picture to be printed,
options, bottom right hand corner,
printer properties
change the orientation to Portrait or Landscape
which ever is the opposite to what you see.
It takes a second or two for the new view to appear.
Works for me, hope it helps you.

Lonewolf,

I've already tried that. I still puts the image or text at a 90 degree
position out of what it should be.

Try PAINT or PAINT.NET they allow rotation.
If the document was scanned in as landscape
you may have still problems.
