I'm following up to my own post for two reasons.

a) I've cleaned up the ascii art above, hopefully it makes more sense.

b) I've become even more confused.  I have a 4x6 image in landscape
   mode (wider than tall) that looks that way on the screen.  If I
   choose US Letter paper (not letter centered), the new version of
   QTR still gives it a great big margin up at the top and centers it
   horizontally.  It looks like it's centering it w/in the printable
   area.

   Unfortunately, that means that I have to waste an entire sheet of
   letter paper for my 4x6.

   Is there some way to get it to just start printing at the top of
   the page (I don't mean full bleed, but taking the printer's
   hardware/firmware margin into account)?

   I'd love for it to not do *any* centering, etc... unless I ask for
   it.

c) On a related topic, has anyone fed QTR from Adobe InDesign?  I've
   been using it to print cards (score stock for folding, text and
   color images) via the Epson driver and have it more or less figured
   out.  I'd like to try it for monochrome, but b) above concerns me.
