My $0.02. You can create selection which can be any dimension like 2x2px and then with marching ants visible to place image. Center of the placed image will match the center of the selection.

Guys, I was thinking in terms of the 'Print Paper' line in the OP's question, which might suggest 8.5" x 11" Letter, or 210mm X 297mm A4 or larger standard print paper. When I paste into Photoshop with a view to print, I generally want the aspect ratio to match the print paper so I can predict how things will look, so I pretty much _always_ open an A4 print preset as a first step. Just saying is all. Bojan Živković

Trevor.Dennis, my interpretation came from the words ”a specific location on the print paper”, and coming from a page layout background, I took it to mean the OP wanted to have the image in a specific location such as in the lower left or upper right so that other things could also be on the print page and also moved around. But I could be wrong. It’s happened before.

If I understand your question, you can position and resize your image for your printer paper size using the Print Dialog, and even save those settings. These settings are also independent of the Image Size dialog and won't change anything there.

In Addition to what Trevor said, use your Move tool “V” to move the image.

Also confirm that when you chose Place > Embedded as he told you, the image went onto it’s own layer and not the Background layer. Look in the Layers panel. If your image is on the layer called Background, that’s why you are having trouble.

Create a new document using one of the Print presets

Place Embedded the image you want to print, and move and Free Transform that image into position and size on the page.
