4x6 pictures on one 8.5x11 sheet

I am an amature photographer and print all my own pictures. When I was on
XP, I was able to print 3 4x6 pictures on one 8.5x11 sheet of paper using the
print option under Photo and Fax Viewer. Now that I'm on Vista, I am only
able to print 2 4x6 pictures on one 8.5x11 sheet of paper using the included
print option in Vista. I cannot find an option to allow 3 4x6 pictures to be
printed on one 8.5x11 sheet of paper. To me, this is a waste of paper. Not
to mention the cost of the photo paper I use(over $1.00 per sheet). Without
using a 3rd party program to do this, how can I enable 3 pictures to be
printed on one 8.5x11 sheet of paper?

How do you get three 4x6 prints on a 8.5 x 11 sheet? That would be
eat up a matrix of 12 x 18. (4x3 + 6x3)

===============================
Two vertical, one horizontal...no problem.
Total space required...8 x 10.

So does Photo Galley have a template for that?

If it does...I cannot find it but XP did.

FWIW...MS Digital Image Suite includes
a large collection of printing templates
including one that prints 3 - 4x6s on an
8.5x11.

There's a 60 day trial version if anyone
would like to experiment with it.

(this offer is no longer being
promoted but I'm relatively sure
you can still download it and
run it for 60 days)

Ok, so we agree that XP has this function. Now how can we get the 'all
knowing' people at Microsoft to make a change to Vista to allow this? And
I'm sure the Microsoft Digital Image Suite has the ability to print 3 4x6
pictures on one 8.5x11 sheet, but I'm not willing to try a 60 day trial
product and then have to pay for it after I have become dependant on it! So
Microsoft, can you please make a change to Vista to allow 3 4x6 pictures to
be printed on one 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

I use to use version #10, but didn't reinstall it on Vista since a lot
of the features are duplicated in Photo Gallery.

============================
And it has many features that are not
available in Windows Photo Gallery.

FWIW...some users have reported issues
with version 10 when running it on Vista...

The newer...Anniversary Edition...is
optimized for Vista.

Bad news is...MS has discontinued the
Digital Image product line.
