Using the microsoft windows photo printing wizard in Windows XP HOme --

-- How do I resize a photo on the paper when printing to 8.5 x 11 paper? . I am printing a single piciture but I don't want it to fill the page.

NOTE -- I resolved this issue for the customer by installing irfanview, but it seems like it should be possible within the MS program...

Thanks dude.   Strange - I really like the ms wizard, wonder why this feature isn't included.
Believe it or not, Google's Picassa will allow you to Print a 3.5X5 or 4X6 in the Center of an 8.5X11 when you select only 1 Copy per page, but MS won't.  Personally I use the MS Wizard for quick prints but I utilize Picassa as a photo organizer.

My guess for why the feature isn't included is that not many people really want to waste that much paper (especially when using Photo paper) when printing a Photo.  If you don't include options like resizing or moving pages, you can keep the programs File Size to a lesser number thereby making it available to a larger audience.  If it was too large, I probably would uninstall it and use an alternative that did everything I was looking for.
