[SOLVED] Printer prints wrong size from GIMP

Dear friends,
I have a printer HP Photosmart 5520.

I set up the printer with the HP Device Manager.

I like to use GIMP to print a file with exact measurements, which is an image on the paper which is 12cm in width, the page is A4, so is my printer.

Once I print, it will be only 11,1cm on the paper. I tried borderless print, which is 11,5cm then.

When I print with GIMP with Gutenprint, the size is 12cm.
When I print with Photoshop in WINE, its 12cm.

Problem with GIMP Gutenprint and Wine is: I cannot adjust print quality.

Any idea?

Thank you.

I removed the HP Device Manager, installed it again, went through all settings again, now its working, not sure what the problem was.
