Actual size of what? Pixels? Pixels don't come out on paper. Pixels are a screen measurement.

actual size of picture man! i.e. if the picture is 4.4 x 5.4, there is no option to have it print that size. you gotta select full photo, 3x5, wallet size...etc..

Your first problem is "Microsoft Office Picture Manager or Windows Picture and Fax Viewer."

Use ACDSee.

If you have office, then you have word. Why don't you just drag it into a word document and print it?

Or, you could just open MSPaint and change the document size to 8x10, and put the picture in the middle of a totally white image, so that when it prints, nothing prints for the rest of the area (because printers obviously print nothing when they need to do white.)
