Professional Print & Layout popup about paper with wide margins

[chilterns]

Printing problem with Canon Professional Print & Layout

Camera :Sony Nex-7

Lens: Sony E 18-200

Printer: Canon Pixma Pro 200

Software: DXO PhotoLab 5, Silver Efex Pro 3, Nik Sharpener Pro 3, (Output Sharpener), Canon Professional Print & Layout

Paper: Canon A3 Matte

The problem. When clicking PRINT in CPP&L, I get a popup saying “The selected paper size does not have wide margins….......Printing with a paper size that has wide margins is recommended.”
What does this mean?

The Pro 200 has a maximum printing size of 3 mm. from the top edge and 5 mm. from the bottom edge, making a maximum printable length on A3 paper of 412 mm. (A3 is 420 mm).

I set the resize in PhotoLab at 41 cm.(410 mm.), so I can’t see any reason for the popup.

The input and output image sizes I have made the same at 273.35 x 410 mm. (correct aspect ratio for this camera) In CPP&L, so the image should fit on A3 paper

Am I missing something ?

If you are using a fine art matte paper there are wider imposed margins to avoid head strikes at the leading and trailing edge of the paper. Which exact paper are you using?

Windows 11, connected to printer via wifi
