Question

I am having an issue when trying to print in photoshop

I have been trying to print items I do a home with photoshop to assist my wife and her school.

When I go to print an 8.5x11 document that I set at 300 dpi, this is the image I see on the print screen. Note the blank space above and below the print preview image.  It is size for a single letter page, but somehow I have gotten these white spaces. Can someone please tell me what to do. I have compared image size and canvas size and both are set at the same size.  I am at a loss for words.d

@ingridg77791139 many printers have an unprintable end section as the media rollers have to hold onto the media. 

You may also have to select edge to edge or similar, but do be aware that most print drivers will then, very slightly, enlarge your document size.

So if it's SS to the media you may see a little cropped off. Beats me why printer makers did that.

 

I hope this helps

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
