I had this problem and was tearing my hair out.  I solved it by defining a
custom paper size with no margins.  My printer had a margin built into the
existing paper size, and Adobe respected that.  When I defined a custom
paper with a margin of zero, everything came out just like I wanted it to.

I hope this will help you.
