Pages Document prints off-center

The flyer I am working on in a Pages document was made on a vertical, blank canvas. I finished the document and now tried to print it. The document has a yellow background which I centered as a square shape. Even though I centered the square, when the document prints I end up with a wider white margin/border on the right and bottom sides than I do on the left and top sides. I did not change any default settings. All margin settings on Inspector show 0. I am printing on an HP Photosmart Premium printer. Maybe it is the printer setting the yellow background off-center? When I print "borderless," the discrepancy disappears. Any ideas on how to center the background besides printing borderless? Please let me know. Thanks!

Jerry,


The borderless setting is the closest I can find to a solution. It does, however, slightly distort the centering of the pictures and text on each page when I use borderless. It seems to slide everything...for lack of better wording...away from the center of the page. I could go back and re-center everything to account for the borderless printing, but I am concerned what effect it might have when the flyer gets added to a website. Any ideas?
