Print dialogue - Layout - Position

On "Print dialogue - Tab Layout I can select the "Position" - nine option left/center/right x top/center/bottom.
Problem: The settings "center" and "bottom" for height are ignored although they are selected. The preview and the print uses always "top".
(The left / center / right options work fine.)

Hmm, when selecting various positions (Top-Left, Top-Center, Top-Right, Left-Center, ...) using the drop down list, I can see the image contents moving around correctly. And the (PDF) print is positioned correctly, too. Which other settings do you use? What's the value of your margins?
Note: Tested with XnView 1.97.7

I took a TIF (bw, 400 dpi, 42 * 60 cm = DIN A2) and select "print on A4, use DPI". The result is how described.
Margin are approx. 0,5 - 1 cm.

Just guessing: Is the image perhaps that wide that right, center, and left position are the same?

With your image provided I could reproduce the problem. The problem occurs if you select "dpi" in print dialog AND the image's size is larger than the chosen paper size: Horizontal alignment left, center, and right works fine, but vertical alignment looks broken. Changing the dpi setting of the image (Image > Set dpi...) clearly shows that the problem only occurs if the image's size is larger than the paper size.
Looks like a bug, BUT:
Your image is too large for the paper, does printing the image that way make sense at all?

Yes, of course. This is a kind of "tile-feature", very often used in software which handles large-format data (HPGL-Plotfile, PDF, TIF, ..) with a standard A4-printer. There you get some parts of image in original size and you have to collate it with "Tixo" and "Uhu". That is a BTN-solution ...

Could you send me the TIF file used?
