I am trying to print 4x6 prints and latel my Canon Pro 10 is prin something smaller at the corner.  Maybe 2x3 size.  I reinstalled driver, got a new printer profile, and checked the “scale” setting.

What am I missing/doing wrong?  I have wasted 6 sheets of 4x6 paper and lots of time trying to figure this out.  Any tips?

    You state you're printing on 6" x 4" paper, what happens to the size of the print when you print on a larger sheet?

    In addition to checking the Image settings , as shown by Derek, check whether you have any scaling set in the print dialogue:

    Does your Image Size dialogue box look something like this?

    Maybe try to check resolution of your picture? Maybe it's taken from another camera?

    Are you sure your printer settings are Ok?

    Are you printing from Photoshop?

    I’m printing in Photoshop.  I haven’t changed any settings since I printed last.
