I am trying to print a file in works (see pictures) and it keeps cutting off the sides when i print what do i need to change for it to be able to print the whole page and not cut off the sides and top?
Thank you

Printing with no margins in mostly a printer setting.
As there is no such feature in my printer, I don't know if it's a setting ruled thru the menu item named (in French)
Paramètres d'impression…
or if it's ruled thru the menu item named (in French) Imprimer.
When the setting is done, define the margins to zero in the Inspector of Documents.
In Numbers, it's easier : there is a box to check to use the printer's smaller margins.

Go to the View Menu, or the View icon, and choose "Show Layout". Now you will see a light gray border within your page edges. This is the area that your printer driver reports as non-printable.
Look at the Page Setup menu in the Document Inspector, Paper Size, and see if you have a "Borderless" option, as Fruhulda suggests. If you have this option, select it and the gray border will disappear from your layout view. If you don't have this option on your printer, you will have to rearrange your content to avoid the non-printing area.

Have you changed the margins to zero? That is still needed even if you want to print borderless as you showed an images where the text box or another object was in the margin.
I didn't have borderless selected so I got the grey border which on my Epson is minimal.
From the image I can see that you a word processing document with 1 inch marginals. You text boxes are on the marginals. Marginals do not get printed. That is why sides are cut.
This kind of document can be done in Page layout document but is OK to create in WP doc too. In the Inspector > Document tab > set the margins to a lesser measure . You might have to set in PAge Set up the page to Borderless if your printer can handle it.
I am still not being able to print with out a border. I feel like I have set everything to what I want it to do, on Pages, but the printer isn't printing that. Even though I selected the paper type to print as Letter and Borderless, I tried to set it as A4 Borderless and it still didn't print right. Any other suggestions? Or is it just cause its a cheap printer (Canon MP250)
You are owning the printer. Looking in its User Manual would tell you if it is able to print borderless.
I searched on the Canon WebSite and saw nothing about this feature in the given specs.

(My occasionally faulty memory at work here.😉)
If memory serves, my own 'cheap Canon printer' would only print borderless if I specified it was printing on 'photo paper'. I don't see the "Media" or "Print Quality" choice in either the Page Setup or Print dialogue in Pages, though. Memory may be serving up images from a different OS than the one I'm using on this machine (OS X v10.4.11).
