 Check your printer settings on the physical printer and host machine.
These settings are separate to the printing prompt in LibreOffice.
Make sure you do not have any setting that will shrink the page to fit borders.
If you use a CUPS print server then set the Shrink Border setting to "Crop (preserve Dimensions)" Paper size is US Letter: 8.
5x11 inches.
To make sure your page is perfect use a imperial ruler and measure the borders.
They should be exactly 1 inch from all sides with the exception of the bottom depending how your paragraph structure came out.

5 inches for the top and 1 inch from the right side.
If the measurement is more than a 16th of an inch off, your printer settings are wrong or your paper tray needs adjustment.
