The way I accomplish this is as follows: (1) open all the images you wish to print on a single sheet; (2) scale images to desired size if necessary; (3) select one image and increase the canvas size to the size of the sheet; (4) move the image to where you want it on the sheet; (5) add a transparent layer for each of the other images; (6) select the second image, copy it, paste it into one of the layers you added to the first image, and anchor it; (7) move the image to where you want it on the sheet; (8) repeat steps (6) & (7) for the remaining images, using another transparent layer for each; (9) print the image. You can flatten the image before printing if you wish, but it is not necessary.
