You don't say what you actually get so its hard to figure out what the
exact issue is.
But I suspect you are not taking into account the borders that the
printer itself and
therefore QTR imposes. (QTR does not support borderless printing).
But I'll guess you are printing to a 3800/3880 printer.  This has a
1/8 inch border
around all sides.  So the max image that can be printed on 17x22 paper
is actually
16.75x21.75 -- this is the size "image"(canvas) you ought to be creating.
And you have to remember there's an extra 1/8 inch all around when positioning.
(alternatively you could make a (6+6+1.25+1.25) = 14.5 width image and
center it).

I then dragged the 8.5 x 11 canvas onto the 17 x 22 canvas(they simply snap to the corners). I then flatten the 17 x 22 and saved it as a tiff(to use in QTR). When I make a print, they no longer have even boarders.

This has been discussed before so I won't. Which means that I have to print out of QTR. My problem is printing 4(of the same)images on a single sheet and have the same boarder all the way around each image. In LR I could set my cell size to 8.5 x 11 and 4 would be printed on a 17 x 22 sheet. For example an image is 6 x 8.75. The boarder on either side of the 6 inch side is 1.25 and 1.125 on either side of the 8.75. In LR, no problem, but through QTR is there a way to get the same result?
