Image size related to print size

Ok, I'm using Photoshop 7. I create a new document 8.5 x 11 inches at 150 pixels per inch.

I draw a circle 1" from the top of the image. The circle is 3" in radius.

When I print the circle is nearly .25" smaller in radius and slightly less than 1" from the top.

Why is the output not in the same placement and proportions as the image on the screen?

Hi

The dimentions on the screen and on your print are quite differente. look in psp help for resulotion issue.

if you prepare your work to print use the document size rather to the pixel size.use inch as your type of masurement.

here you can learn of to keep the proportion when output your work to a printer in psp.

That did help some. My image is now the correct dimensions.

Now, how do I get it to print in a specific location on the paper? For example, I want the printed image exactly 1.5 inches from the top of the paper and 1.5 inches from the left.
