Q: Move an object in Print Settings

I have opened an item in Preview that I would like to print, however I don't want to print it full-size. In the Print Settings window, I have resized the image to 50%. Rather than have the image print in the center of the paper, I want to drag it to a top corner. In the previous versions of mac, I've been able to do this by simply unchecking the "center" box and then just dragging the image. Now, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to do it. Maybe that's not an option anymore...but, it should be. Can anyone tell me either way? Can it be done or is this just not an option any longer? Thanks for your help.

    That's not a feature of Preview.  i don;t remember it in earlier versions but I never tried it them. 

     

    However, you can approximate it by going to the Layout menu window in the Print window and selecting 4 Pages per Sheet and you'll get this:

    Not a lot of control but it's an approximation of what you are looking for.
