Hello,

when I design a picture e.g. exactly 20cm x 20cm it is scaled to the
printing area instead of being trimmed when printed out. I think my
decision should have priority.
I asked this question some time ago in the German forum with no satisfying
answer.
Do you know a solution? (OS WinXP, latest Gimp)

What program are you using to print your image? Different DTP programs
behave differently in this respect.
