Image is truncated

[michael]

I often print DVD covers (10.8 x 7.3 inches or 27.4 x 18.5 mm) on A4 paper and about 5 mm is always cut off the left-hand edge. If I rotate the image 180°, the same happens - the print is still 26.9 mm wide. There is plenty of spare space left on the page. How do I print the entire image? I'm using a Canon MG6150 ink-jet printer set for A4 paper.

I assume that you have set the optional top and left margins to 0 in the dialog. What size does the print dialog say the image is going to be, just above the Print button. If that is shown as less than the size that you want it is because the non-printable margins that the printer needs are too wide to allow it.
You want to print a 274x185mm image on a 296x210mm sheet of paper. That leaves 22mm of spare height in total and 25mm spare width. If you are 5mm short on one side, it is likely that the print dialog requires that a 15mm margin be left blank on each side of the paper. Look at the specification for your printer and see what minimum margin width is stated.

Margin settings are the answer!

You're dead right - setting the left margin to 15mm has solved the problem. The manual seems to be silent on the question of minimum margins and doesn't appear very interested in them at all.

many thanks.
