If your printer allows borderless printing then set the Printable Area for Maximum. Otherwise, you'll need to trick it since a DVD cover is just bigger than the allowable standard print margins for "Letter" sized documents (8.5 x 11") and will get cut off. To do this, set the Paper Size to "Legal" (8.5 x 14"). Take a standard sheet of paper, cut off a strip a few inches long and tape it lightly to the end of the paper you are printing your cover on (this is to make the printer think it is a longer sheet of paper than it really is). Don't worry, a standard single-size cover will fit entirely on a single sheet of letter sized paper - the extra strip is just so that the printer won't cut off early where it thinks the margins should be. Your other alternative is just to use legal-sized paper (which you'll have to do anyway for any double, triple, quadruple, etc. covers).

look it all depends on the type of cover, printer, so your best bet would be to print a black line on some plain paper and compare it to your dvd cover, keep using different colours until you get it right, you will soon find the perfect setting then just save two copies just incase and thereyou go. I had to make some cd lables and that i what i did, the info the manufactures never worked for me, so i did it this way instead. Good luck it can be a bit of trial and error.

why dont you use a little thing called a ruler and measure the dvd cover. And why you using paint? (worst program ever)
