That said, I've left CS3 on for printing and more recently, I started using Roy's new Print program. I use CS6 only for profile conversion prior to printing (i.e. convert file, save, load into QTR-Print-Tool, print).

Yes, page layout is the primary driver for me. I also like breaking my dependence on CS3. Added to that the page layout programs loads a lot faster. 

Aside from black and white I print colour canvas on a 44" Canon printer. It is a joy to simply define a page large enough to hold a set of images and then drop them on it. Roy defines 0.0" as paper edge so I can precisely position an image at the top left or right and save myself two cuts. I used to do all this in Photoshop before using guides, etc. The tool has reduced my set up time and I can focus my mind on other things now.
