When I try to print iphoto crops my photos beyond recognition

I am trying to print off about 40 photos, the normal 3.5x5 size. Since iPhoto no longer offers me the "N-up" option for formatting my photos, I have to put this size print in manually. When I do, it prints all my photos as if they were horizontal photos (instead of just automatically rotating the photo) therefore cropping out most of the picture. Even the horizontal photos seem very cropped to me, cutting off peoples heads and feet that were supposed to be in the picture. This did not used to happen with previous versions of iPhoto. I could probably print the photos one per page, but I do not want to waste the paper or my time with the extra cutting this would involve. Also, pictures that have been cropped to an odd size are always cropped automatically rather than leaving extra margins around the picture like it used to do when I could select the "N-up" option.

is there a way to print off a bunch of photos at once so that I can put them in a photo album without having all my photos horribly cropped automatically?

iPhoto '08, Mac OS X (10.6.8), I am actually running iPhoto '09

I found after posting this that several other people had this problem and it was fixed by selecting the size photo I wanted, then going to customize, right clicking the cropped photo and selecting "fit photo to frame size". However, I still had to right click again and select "edit photo" and rotate all the horizontal photos so that they were sideways in order to get the most picture into the size photo I selected. Seems like a huge pain when apple is supposed to be so user-friendly. is there any way I could write to apple and complain about this problem that so many people seem to be having? or is the problem solved in a newer version of iPhoto (I'm using iPhoto '09)
