I created a A4 document. But I do not manage to get a print in A4. Print size locked to 13,93 cm x 19,76 cm. I've changed Image size, canvas size to A4. The print dialog box says A4. The Printers dialog box says A4. If I export it as pdf, it is saved as A4.

Last try:

Reset the Photoshop Preferences.

To manually restore preferences to default:

To restore preferences quickly using a keyboard shortcut:

  • Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) as you start Photoshop. You are prompted to delete the current settings. The new preferences files are created the next time you start Photoshop.

Note: Using the keyboard shortcut, preference files for custom shortcuts, workspaces, and color settings will also be reset to default.

Hm, I deinstalled the program and reinstalled it. I also tried to restore the preference file.

I created a new document 21 x 29,7 but still Print size locked is to 13,93 cm x 19,76 cm.

Most desk-top printers do not print to the edge of the paper.

Everything says A4

Oh yes, I see.

Printing the PDF file is ok?

Printing with Word or other programs is ok?

Close Photoshop and switch off/on the printer?

As a Windows user I would restart my machine additionally.
