Cut Lines for Paper Size Using Rolls - P6000

[NortheastPhotographic]

When using a roll printer such as the P6000, let's say I want to make a print on 11x14 paper, and float the image with any given border. If I print from LR it will make cut lines around the image area itself, but it doesn't seem to allow me to put the cut lines around the paper size I'm targeting.

A better example would be someone ordering square images on 8x10 paper. Let's say I wanted to a bunch in one print session, and I want to cut out the 8x10 sheets, not the square image within the 8x10 sheets. (Think of printing a 6x6" image on a piece of 8x10 paper.) Any tips on how to do this easily? Or is this purely the territory of RIP software, something I'm trying to avoid.

I've tried to do this in ImageNest and LR now...no luck. Seems really strange to me...

You should be able to set the print size independently of the paper size to get the effect that you want, ie a 5x7 image on a 8x10 page. You should be able to set it up as a cell in the print module in LR. Be sure that you don't have the auto rotate and save paper features turned on in the printer driver itself as that may negate what you are trying to do.

If so I can't seem to figure out how. All these images are squares, but when I set the cell size it just wants to match the image size to the cell. All the controls for printing custom margins go away.
