Default Why does worksheet print smaller?

When I go to print my spreadsheet it never fills up the page. No matter what
margins I have the spreadsheet is always off center and doesnt fill complete
page. I am printing on regular letter sized paper. I have selected that
size on the spreadsheet. I have also selected width and height to one page.
But when I print it, it is never the same size. Please help. Thanks.

Default Why does worksheet print smaller?

The answer may be printer-independent, meaning what works for me may not work
for you cause we likely have different printers, but here's what I do :

1) Make sure that I'm printing only what I want. I set the print area by
highlighting the area I want printed then selecting FILE PRINT AREA SET
PRINT AREA
2) Then under the FILE PRINT PREVIEW menu I have three choices I play with
1) Center the spreadsheet under SETUP MARGINS tab and check the
Horizontally and Vertically boxes.
2) Adjust the print size under SETUP PAGE tab and adjust the scaling
percentage.
3) Change the page orientation under SETUP PAGE tab and check either
portrait or landscape.

Play with these until you like what you see.
