Give these fixes a shot:

Look at Print Settings: Open the print dialog box. Make sure the scale sits at 100%. Double-check the paper size matches A4.

Get Fresh Printer Drivers: Head to Canon's website. Download the newest drivers for your printer. New drivers often fix weird issues.

Start Over with Printing: Click System Preferences on your Mac. Find Printers & Scanners. Right-click (or Control-click) the printer list. Pick "Reset printing system." Add your printer again.

Tweak PDF Settings: Open your PDF in Preview. Hit File then Print. Take a peek at scale settings and paper size.

Adjust Google Docs: In Google Docs, match document settings to print settings. Click File then Page setup. Make sure paper size and margins line up.

I solved the problem by buying an HP printer which works fine.
