Hi, I've watching every tutorial on youtube, and read everything on Adobe about how to add a bleed successfully for printing. Yet when I go to print, it still shows up without a bleed and won't print with a bleed to the edge. What am I doing wrong or missing?? Truly, I've done everything.

To print bleed, you have to print on paper that's larger than your page size.

Good catch! I missed that.

Bleed requires a larger page size than the actual document, that's the point of bleed. Print on larger paper, cut to the final size.

I personally also prefer all marks other than trim marks turned off, and those offset .125" so they don't poke into the bleed.

By the red line I can see you set your bleed correctly. It might not be printing if you unchecked the use document bleed settings which was on by default
