giimp printing incorrectly

I've been without a printer for some time, and I finally bought on Saturday. HP Officejet 7000 wide format.
Gimp will print fine on regular letter-size paper, but when I try to print a 9 x 12 photo on 11x17" paper, it prints only a part of the picture, leaving half the page blank. I've set all the "page setup" features that I can find which might be relevant. Set to centered. But it keeps putting out these expensive sheets of photopaper with the photo only half there, printing only on one (leading edge) of the paper.
The print preview feature doesn't work. When I click Print Preview, it flashes quickly, less than a second. Using gimp 2.6.2 on Suse 11.1
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

As I mentioned in my original, I'm using Linux, Suse 11.1. I did hp-setup and
I have hplip-3.9.8-9.5 . Should I be using gutenprint instead? Thanks,
Helen

Helen,

What OS are you using? Are you sure you have the latest drivers for whatever system it is?

You could start by using an updated version. Not sure if there are any relevant fixes, but 2.6.2 is really very very outdated. Try to get your hands on 2.6.8 and a recent version of GTK+.

Since you are so knowledgeable, maybe you can tell my good friend where she can get a suse version of gimp 2.6.7?? We have looked everywhere.

Secondly, if this is not possible, you could try and have a look at http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=gimp Sadly, the list there is not ordered by version, but I found 2.6.7 on top of page 2 - and the current version (2.6.8) is also available from that site.

thanks...i've been there but didn't get those results...she knows (kind of) how to use yast...great with gimp, bad at upgrading.
