Preview on Photoshop doesn't print exactly?

[Chronos]

I'm trying to print a cover for a DS cartridge. The height is just under 11 inches and the width is 4.5 inches so it will fit on normal printer paper of US Legal size. My photoshop preview looks as such -

As you can see, it takes up about half of the page, touching the edges.

However, when I print, I don't get the same results; Theres about 1.5-2 centimeters taken off the height and width when it isn't necessary.

Sorry for the low quality image, but you can see that it's reduced the size of the paper a bit from it's actual size. Anyone know how to fix this?

No margins bruh, they're off.

Hmmm.... try enlarging the image, so lets say 10x20 and it would print out 8x16 or something like that, just use the trial and error method in black and white.

I tried a few times; it always has margins on at the very least 2 of the 4 sides of the page. It's never borderless.

I went through the printer, for some reason the print paper size wasn't set to US legal but some other random thing. Printed but still no change :/ The printer driver says theres no margins but now Photoshop has them but they're grayed out and I can't edit them.

This is not photoshop causing this. This is your printer. You will never get a borderless print on your standard home printer.

You cannot get rid of the default margins.

That has to be the problem, I was having the exact same problem in my digital arts class and my teacher told me to take the margins off.

No true all printer can do anything. Within their quality and color.

Working at a printing supplier, I know what I'm talking about lol. Unless you own a top of the market consumer printer, you won't get borderless prints.

When you print out a demo page out of any machine it is a picture that takes the whole page up.
