Yes, but it depends on how you are sizing the image.  I use Qimage to
resize the image, and work in metric.  The Epson driver mandated a 3mm
margin, so on an A4 page the image size needed to be 204x291mm.  

However if you send this sized image to QTR, it splits it over 4
pages.  So I had to reduce it to 202x289.  You could use a 3.18 margin
I guess, if you print program works in fractions of a mm.  I can see
how to do this in Qimage, but there would be some trial and error to
work out precisely what sized image you can send to QTR before it
insists on splitting it over several pages.  Just one .01mm too much
would be fatal.

Stephen - I'm having a problem with QTRgui and Qimage working
together.  If I start QTRgui after QImage has printed all its print
jobs to file, no problem.  But if I start it first, then after the
first print job is done, QTRgui gives me an error message "Unable to
move xxxxx.tif to to the 'Processed' folder.  Folder monitoring
disabled".

If I then restart folder monitoring, all works as it should.  It's
hard to replicate this problem, as it seems to happen once, and then
goes away.  Subsequent attempts to print with QTRgui monitoring the
output folder are successful.  

It's only a minor annoyance, but a puzzling one.
