Problems printing tri-fold brochure

I produced a tri-fold brochure with Pages, but it won't print out properly. If printed from Pages, or if exported to a PDF and printed out using "no automatic page scaling", the right-hand quarter-inch or so of the document gets cut off. If the PDF is printed out using "Scale each page to fit paper", there is an extra 3/4 inch of blank space on the right-hand side of the printed document, so it won't fold properly. What can I do to solve this problem?

Almost all ink jet printers, especially HP, have a larger trailing margin, usually 0.56 inches. There is nothing you can do to change it. Even those that do borderless printing only do borderless for photos, not text. Laser printers tend to have equal margins all the way around the document of approximately 0.20 inches, so I prefer using laser printers.
