    I'm not really a lightroom user but sounds like something is amiss, I only did it once and to be honest had to be guided through the steps as I had never done it before but only took a few minutes to set up and print a2 sheets of images.

    I had PaulW walking me through the steps when I tried to do it before. If you could convert all to jpeg in another folder it should be easy enough to do it in the normal image viewer in windows. I dont often print contact sheets thankfully, seems like a bit of hassle alright.

    i never do either, pointless really, but project stipulates it.:rolleyes:

    converting 300 raws to jpeg will take just as long me thinks:(

    on page 3 now...
