Dimentions Coming Out Wrong

[MD997]

Whenever I print out covers on my printer, they always come out shorter than their suppose to be, the dimentions are correct. I am using a Kodak Printer. What is the Problem?

What size paper are you using? Are you printing boarder less?

Either your printer has "fit to one page" option on, so take it of and set the scaling to 100% and borders to minimum.

Or

You are using Letter size paper which is too small, you need to use Legal size or A4 size.

is normal printer paper the right size because I don't really know what kind to use. and I don't know what borderless means.?

Ok, I just need to know what options to set on Paint:

Paper:

Size?
Source?

Orientation:
Portrait or Landscape?

and Margins(inches):

Left: Top: Bottom: and Right:

Thanks, Sorry but I am just not very knowledgeble about these kind of things.

Well, try this:

Size: normal (you said you where using regular paper)
Source: blank
Orientation: Landscape
Centering: Horizontal
Margins: 0 or as small as possible
Scaling: "Adjust to 100% normal size"

Normal/letter size is too small unless you can print truly borderless.
You need to use Legal size paper or A4 size paper.
Otherwise the settings mentioned are correct, altough I'd suggest to use vertical centering as well.

Ok, I'm almost there, I printed out a cover, the dimentions are perfect, but the entire thing doesnt come out, half will print on one page and the rest on another, I have it set to 100 percent like you guys said, but why is is printing like that.

Thanks.

I also printed out one without centering and it printed just a tad off.

See tw first lines of my previous post.  

Let me explain in short: Too small paper -> Image doesn't fit on one paper -> Printer will print it on two papers.

OK?

Same thing but because centring is off, printer will print mayority to one paper and the small left over to the next paper.
