I do not care what the OP wants. as what I said, if the OP wants to print
the standard DVD case label, then get the program and lets the program does
all the thinking for the OP.

I have Epson and HP printer, and had to trim off the width a little, the
length is about the same length with 11" (may trim off a hair). So, like I
said, find the program (try Surething) and lets it do all the figuring,
setting, printing etc.. and as long as you meet the requirement then it
should work. If not, try some trick. I don't pay much attention to what my
printers can do but I have

HP PhotoSmart 7350 (or something like that)

Epson Stylus Photo 900 (for DVD cover printing), and I printed DVD sleeve
cover with this printer.
