Thought it might be worth seeing if this problem was specific to my Canon Photo Printer. Therefore, I decided to try and print the same picture on my HP Officejet. The first image is when selecting preferences which shows the paper size set to 5x7.
Unlike my photo printer this one doesn't offer a preview but after loading 5x7 photo paper into the printer and then selecting print I receive the following message:
Conclusion is that GIMP has a problem with at least some paper sizes and the problem is not specific to a particular printer. I'm guessing that GIMP's File>Print option may work for 8.5X11 paper. When I next desire to print something on 8.5x11 I'll try to remember to try printing with GIMP. It's hard to tell when that might be.
In the meantime, it must be concluded that there is at least one significant defect in GIMP's support for printing.
