Using : Photoshop 7.0

Alright this is my problem :

I am creating a portfolio DVD with all of my work to make it look really professional with menus and whatnot. I want the cover art to be professional too, so I created a nice case in photoshop using this :

Document Size :

Width : 10.75
Height : 7.125
Resolution : 200
Resample Image: Bicubic


Then I set up my rulers and created my DVD....

Now when I click print, it says clipping will occur. Which I dont see why, cause the document size (in landscape mode) isn't bigger than a sheet of paper. (Which Im using semi-thin cardstock to print on) But it still says clipping. So I click ok, hoping it will work, and set it up for landscape. It prints out, but it clips and doesn't do the whole thing, it cuts off of the left and right side. Yet it still has alot of blank paper it could have used to print on, I checked all my settings to see if there is something I could have missed, but i dont see anything at all that can help me with this matter. Can someone please help me out in my printing problem? Thanks!

try putting a load of empty space as a border and then maybe it will clip that off

A border wont help. You need to downsize cause your average home printer can't do borderless prints (print to the edge of the paper). Easiest way would be just up your resolution...maybe 220 (give or take a bunch).

(keep in mind the above was written by a very tired person...so i may be wrong. but usually clipping has to do with the papers edge)

well, if the values (Width : 10.75, Height : 7.125) where in cm i see no reason why this could help.. a A4 sheet paper is (in cm) aprrox 21x29,7 .

but as said, thats in centimeters.. either way, a dvd cover isnt larger than an a4 anyway.. maybe it IS in your printer settings.. but if you checked all settings then.. well i dont know :/
