Question Printing Photos-Problem

This just started happening to me when I print my photos. When I print them now, no matter what size (in HP Photosmart or PSE7) my pictures are elongated. For instance, Sarah has a totally round head, and that's the way it shows in my camera, layouts, in PSE7, etc., but when I print her photos it looks like her head is skinny and extremely long! It doesn't matter if it's straight from the camera or if I've cropped it. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks for your help.

Default

Is your printer settings set to scale to fit? It sounds to me as though it is adjusting your size ratio resulting in those elongated faces. Try rotating your picture 90degrees and see if it looks the same or if you now have very wide, flat faces.

Only idea I have as to what is happening. Good luck fixing it!
