PIXMA MG2500 Series - The bottom of the page always cut off

Does anyone know how to reset the default automatic margins on Canon PIXMA MG2500 series driver?

 

I've been changing all margins on my documents to 0cm, but there ll be always margins showed up when I printed the documents, especially the bottom so it's always cutting off the bottom of the page. So I know it must be the driver. The automatic margin that always showed up on the bottom of the page is around 1,6 cm. There's also no option on the Printing Preferences to change them. I'm using Windows 10, by the way.

all you have to do is go to the canon quick menu and once you are there, you have to click on the icon for "open my printer" (sorry that my windows is on spanish) well is where ir says "iniciar my printer" once you do that then you click on the "printer settings" is where on my pic "configuracion de la impresora" and once you do that we have to go to the second step

then you hit "paper size for the printer" that is where in my pc says "tamaño de papel para la impresora" and then you click on the tab "page setting" that is where on my picture says configurar pagina and then select the 8.5 X 11 letter  22cmX28cm and then we go to the third and last step. (would be good if you follow the numbers on the pictures).Captura.PNG

this is the last step the third one and most important I would say: 

you have to click on the combo menu that says "Paper size" where in my pic says "tamaño de papel" once you do that you look for the letter size and then you choose 8.5 X 11 and it  says letter 22cmX28 then you click on the "page adjust" and then  he same with the menu that says "paper size for printer" where in picture says "tamaño del papel de impresora" and look for exacly the same "Letter 22cmX28cm 8.5 X 11" and then hit accept and try printing something and you will see that is fixed.

I also had the same problem with the copying part but this fixed I guess, let me try, and it's working but then I did the fourth sterp (optional as its for the copying part)

Thank you so much for your help. However (and I am not sure why) the printer has been printing correctly on letter size papaer for several years and I have not had this or any problem with it for a long time (except the problem of retrieving bits of paper after a paper jam). It's actually been my best printer so far of any I've had.

If so many people are having this same problem, Canon should issue a recall or find a real solution.

I gave up trying on my older Toshiba with win7 and fought thru the headache of downloading the driver to a newer HP with win 11. The results were exactly the same.
