Not printing everything within page border
So I've set up a measurement guide of sorts to help me print out cards. I have the ruler marks and number set exactly to mm. I want to print the whole guide out all marks and numbers and everything is included within the page border. But when I print, it cuts off the marks with the numbers. I've spent an hour looking through the forum about Inkscape cutting images off, but so far nothing has worked. I have an image of what I'm trying to print attached.

Re: Not printing everything within page border
Have you tried Save As... .pdf and then printing that new .pdf file?

Re: Not printing everything within page border
Can your printer actually print that close to the page edges? Few printers actually do edge-to-edge printing; most have an unprintable border which they use for handling the paper.
Re: Not printing everything within page border
I have tried saving it as a pdf and printing, but when I do the measurements are no longer accurate. I'm not sure about our printer, but I don't see why it would be cutting off the numbers regardless.
Re: Not printing everything within page border
If it can't physically print close enough to the edges then anything in the unprintable area just won't get printed, whether it's numbers, tick marks or other shapes.
When printing from a PDF you may find that your PDF program is set to scale to fit, which is why the measurements aren't accurate. Turn that option off and I suspect you'll find that the same areas of the page are left unprinted for the same reason as above - unprintable edges.
It would help if you let us know the make and model of your printer, and perhaps included a scan or photo of the printed output (just a close up of one of the corner areas should do).
