I know this is probably pretty basic, but I am having problems. I need to take small logos that I make as individual projects, and paste them onto one page, so I can have them all printed at once rather than having to use a whole piece of paper to print each one. How do I do this?

I would simply create a new doc something like 10.5in x 7.5in at 200ppi and tell it to scale up to fit the page from the print preview screen.
Each logo can be adjusted in size, if necessary [either use the Transform command or check "Show bounding box" and just use the handles].

I suggested 200ppi, but it depends on how big the logos are in pixels and how big you want to print them.

I guess you mean "border".
There are lots of ways to do this and you can search on the forum or find some. One way is to set the background colour [on the tools palette] to the border colour you want and enlarge the canvas just a bit.

I have no idea what you mean by "come lower so you can type what it is" …

I’d do something like this:

Define an action which:
1) extends the canvas at the bottom by an appropriate amount [to make room for the text]
2) change the background colour [to what you want for the border]
3) extend the canvas all round by a bit [to make the border]

You’d then need to apply this to each image in turn and add the text.

The only way to do this in a much easier way would be to caption the pictures, the print sheets of thumbnails, but that won’t give you the borders like you want.

The best way would be to do something like this in another program. Something like a page layout or illustration program (i.e. Indesign, QuarkXpress, Illustrator, Freehand, Draw)… Alternately, if you aren’t needing too much control, you might consider doing it in a Word processing program. You could probably pull it off in MS Word (97 or later) with more ease than you’ll find trying to do it in Photoshop.
