Printing 8x10 in Lightroom 3.0?

I recently tried printing an 8x10 photo to frame, but I realized my printouts measure approximately 7.5x9.5. I don't have this problem printing 4x6 or 5x7' prints. I'm using a Canon ip9000 Mark II printer. I triple checked all my settings in "Printer", "Page Setup" and the print module, the paper I selected is "Letter borderless". In the print module, it shows 8x10, and no borders are selected anywhere. Yet, when the print out comes out, it's smaller than 8x10. Am I missing something? By the way, is it me or is the print settings unnecessarily complicated? Why can't they put it all in 1 place instead of Page setup and printer settings?

Thanks for any advice.

Did you do Page Setup in Lightroom, I'm using LR 4 and there is an optin for page setup bottom left, from here you can set your page to 8x4

Why "Letter"? Are you printing on 8.5x11 paper?

Because printers have drivers.

Yes, I'm printing on 8.5x11 paper. Is that my issue?

I'll take a look at that when I get home. Don't recall seeing a page setup on the lower left. I went into "FILE - PAGE SETUP".
