Sorry guys,
I have a printing problem, both with PDF and with preview. I'm not able print in full scale my document, even if I check if the file has the right size and if I did not set margins. It seems so. Printing comes out as in this pic:

Are you trying to print a document the same size as the paper you're printing on? The printer creates these margins so that it can feed the paper through the printer and ink will not print on either side of those margins. Unless your printer offers full-bleed printing or borderless printing.

For example if I was printing an 11"x17" document with .125" bleed. I would print this on 12"x18" paper and end up cutting it down.

If you don't have colors going to the edge of the document. You could just uncheck "Scale to fit media" and your document will print at 1:1.
