Printing with Photos app

When previewing my pictures before printing, they will be set up one way (example: 5 pics side by side from top to bottom of the paper), but when I go to print them, it shows up as 2 rows of 2 pics and 1 row of 1 pic. Why does it get rearranged from the preview to the print page? Is there a way to change that? What am I missing?

OK - I am seeing the same thing. It is to do (I think) with the fact that the preview is showing the layout on a landscape oriented page, and the print then puts it on a portait oriented page. You can see in the small thumbnail to the right in your screenshot with the preview the final (portrait) layout.


I've not yet found a way to put the preview into portrait format so that it matches.

I noticed the same thing about the layouts being landscape and portrait respectively. When just printing a page of something normally (like through Google Docs, etc), there is an option for landscape or portrait. I do not see anything like that in the Photos app. That's what I thought I might be missing - how to do that. Thanks for your input.
