How do I print different photos on one page in Lightroom’s Print module?

In Lightroom’s Print module, I’m creating a custom page layout with several cells (for example, four wallet-size prints on one sheet). When I drag a photo into one cell, Lightroom fills every cell on the page with the same image. Dragging a different photo into another cell just replaces them all again.
How can I make one page contain different photos in different cells, like a contact sheet or mixed photo package?

I was able to reproduce the undesired behaviour in LR5.
It happens when the layout style (top most category) "Picture Package" is selected.
Whatever you do, all boxes of one page are filled with the same image.
I think the point of this layout style is exactly that: create a layout with different sized boxes to get one image printed at all those sizes.
To get different images on the same page, using the layout style "Custom Package" worked for me.

Use the correct Layout Style in Lightroom’s Print module. If you choose Picture Package, Lightroom is designed to place the same photo into all cells on that page, even if the cells are different sizes.
If you want different images in different cells on the same page, switch to Custom Package. Then drag individual photos from the filmstrip into each cell.
So, in short:
- Picture Package = multiple prints/sizes of one image per page
- Custom Package = different images in different cells on one page
If your goal is more like a contact sheet, Adobe Bridge’s Output workspace can also do that, but within Lightroom the key is using Custom Package instead of Picture Package.
