Printing from GIMP

When I print a photo from GIMP, the photo is printed on plain paper from the main tray, and only a portion of the photo prints. I have set all preferences (paper source, print size, layout, paper type, etc). I don't have this problem printing from any other program, such as Windows Photo Viewer, my very old version of Photoshop Elements, etc. Any thoughts?

Perhaps I didn't clearly explain my issue. My printer is an HP Photosmart 6520. It has a main paper tray and a photo paper tray. When I print a photo, I must specify in preferences that the paper source is the photo tray. Everything works as expected when I use any other program besides GIMP. When I print from GIMP, the photo prints out from the plain paper tray instead of the photo paper tray, and only a portion of the photo prints, as shown in the attachment to my previous post. Anyone else have this issue? What am I doing wrong? I'm running the current version of GIMP. Computer is an HP Probook 6530s, Windows 7 64 bit. Thanks.
