Printing Images - Windows Vista
Currently struggling to find what program on Vista to open .TIF files with to be able to print selected pages.
I have tried opening in photo manager, image viewer, windows live photos etc but all programs when asked to print, load the 'print images' screen, which doesn't have any options of printing required pages, just all pages.
Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe converting it into a PDF/XPS, or using it in Word?

Can't open it in word, just get a load of jibberish. Converting to PDF/XPS not an option!
Thanks

I have also just tested the free FastStone Image Viewer which I have as a self-contained "Portable" program on a USB Flash Drive. It saves its configuration settings back to a few text-based and binary *.DB files on the Flash Drive. So, if there are any issues with installing applications, this could be the answer.
It's quirky in layout, but the wealth of options available from the Right-Click allows you to open a Multi-Page TIF and see immediately from a small red annotation in the thumbnail image how many Frames are inside it. There should be a "Preview" window by default at the bottom left of your working area, and when you click to select your thumbnail in the main pane, it shows the first Frame of the TIF file with a red "Page n of n" annotation. The Right and Left keyboard arrows (or equivalent toolbar buttons) page through the Frames of your selected TIF image in the preview window. A File menu > Print OR Right-Click on the preview pane when you are showing the Frame to print shows the "Print" menu option. This brings up a fairly comprehensive print options dialog that would suit most needs.
It sounds like a lot of work, but it's quick in operation.

Choose "Portable" from download page if that's what you want to try out first:

Just unzip it to the root of an empty flash drive, or to its own folder on the flash drive. Run "FSViewer.exe".
