Digital BW, The Print

So when printing to a file how do I set the page size in Qimage? 

Last nite I was first setting the page size by first setting Qimage to
print to the 2200 and then clicking on the button with the printer and
wrench and picking the page size in the Epson dialog. This would set
what appeared to be the proper page size in the Qimage print preview
window. Then I would tell Qimage that I was printing to a file and
click the 5x7 button below the print preview. I can see how this was
proably wrong.

The thing that made this doubly confusing was that even when I opened
the tif file that Qimage created in PSCS the file was of the correct
dimensions with the image sized and placed properly, yet it would
print from QTR incorrectly.
