Hi,


I tried printing a 10 x 10cm square with various software programs and on two printers but it seems everything is scaled.

the programs I used are:

Microsoft Word

Inkscape

Adobe Acrobat


The printers are:

Brother MFC-L2710DW

Epson WF-7720 Series


For example: in Word i set the top and side margins to 2.5cm and print a 10x10 cm square.

The actual margins are 2.85cm and 2.6cm. The sides of the square are 9.7 x 9.7cm.


This result is equal on all programs and both printers. Acrobat tells me the image is 10 x 10 cm.

I tried re-installing the printer drivers, everything is set to A4, scaling is off in Word, Scale to Paper Size setting is set to No Scaling.
