Here is what the screen looks like, still not getting it right. Thanks, help much appreciated.
In the print module, goto "Page set up" at the bottom of the left hand panel.
Ensure your printer is selected and choose "Properties"
Make the adjustments required - paper size, paper type, Quality, source tray, orientation, borderless etc. and OK your way out of that dialogue. Exit from the page/print setup.
On the right hand panel of LR:
Layout Style - choose Single Image
Image Settings: Choose Zoom to fill, (view the image on screen if it this setting is not what you want, Unchoose it.
Rotate to fit - Check this box
Uncheck other boxes in this panel
Layout:
Margins: Move all sliders to the left
Page Grid: Move both sliders to the left so that rows = 1 and columns = 1
Cell Size: move both sliders to the right
Uncheck the Keep square box
Guides: Uncheck Show guides
Page:
Uncheck everything
ID Plate: Uncheck everything
Watermarking, Page Options, Photo info: Uncheck everything
Print Job:
Uncheck Draft Mode Printing
Print resolution: enter a figure (say 300) and check it
Print sharpening: choose whatever you need by clicking on the word such as "Standard"
Media type click on word to choose (get this right it makes a great difference)
Colour Management: Here you can choose profiles or Printer controls the colour
Intent: ???? I always use Perceptual but any one else ????
Print Adjustment:
Brightness and contrast: If the Profile you have is good for the paper, you could try unchecking Print adjustment
make sure paper is in the printer
Click Print
These settings are sticky - ie they will remain until changed.
