This has me really confused.

I specified an image width and height in Photoshop (Document Size, not pixel dimensions; from the menu options, Image–>Image Size–>Document Size). I set it at exactly 3" by 5". Looks right according to the rulers in the document window.

Then I print out the picture, and when I measure it on the paper with a ruler, it’s like 1/2 inch bigger all the way around.

What would cause something like this?

Using Photoshop 7, Windows XP Pro, and it’s a HP laserjet printer.

Any help is appreciated, and thanks.
