Adobe Photoshop/photo printing

Question
On my old computer (Compaq) the photo printing wizard allowed a great variety of printing options, including three (3) 4X6 photos printed per page.  My new computer has Vista, and the Windows photo wizard only allows two (2) 4X6 per page.  I have tried to see if photoshop or Sony Image Mixer has an alternative to this AWFUL waste of photo paper, but I can't find a solution.  Nor can I get my old wizard off my old hard drive (which had XP program).  Know any (preferably free) solutions?  Or is this just an overall new conspiracy by Microsoft and others in league with paper manufacturers to get you to buy more paper?  Thans for reading!

Answer
Hi Eric

Photoshop has a couple of ways to group pictures. Go to File>Automate>Contact Sheet II. This is a very flexible option for fitting multiple images on a sheet or you can go to File>Automate>Picture Package to make professional type packages of a single image.

Either option allows you to use the maximum area on you paper.

Hope this helps,
