I'm starting a new thread here to make it more noticeable. I found a free program which does exactly what I want. It's called IrfanView and it can be downloaded from here: http://www.irfanview.com/

Here's how to use it:

1. Download the eQSL images you want to print as .jpg files.
2. Open each file in IrfanView
3. Click on Image->Information
4. The image should be 528 x 336 pixels.
(If it is different, you will have to experiment to get a correct result.)
5. Change the resolution to 96 x 96 dpi if necessary and save the .jpg file.
The print size should now be 5.5 x 3.5 inches.
6. Click on File->Print
7. In the Print Preview dialog box, the position margin settings should both be 0.00,
and Centered should NOT be checked.
8. Print the first eQSL, put the sheet of card stock back in the printer turned end-for-end, and
print the second eQSL at the other end of the same sheet.
9. Put the sheet back in the printer again and check the Centered box before printing the third
eQSL. You should now have three 5.5" x 3.5" eQSLs printed on one 8.5" x 11" sheet with a
gap of about 1/8" between images.

It would be faster to print all three images at one time, but I don't think it is possible with this program. If anyone finds a different program which can do this, I'd like to hear about it!

Thanks K9MM - I will have to give it a try.
