Laser printers are not accurate devices.
Once you realize that, your life will be much less frustrating. Just figure out the required scale factors to correct the error, and re-size the print with an external editor.

Update

HP said replace with new LaserJet M211dw

I’m not sure if it works well

Have to wait another week for the new one to arrive

Now I am waiting for confirmation of the size comparison test from HP’s technical department on Monday.

Sometimes it helps if you delete all the extra like drawing borders and what ever. Leave only the PCB or whatever you are doing.

There are also many kinds of zooms in many places. Are you sure they are all as they should be

Update 2025/01/29

Now I have received the HP M211DW printer.

Print quality is accurate, good.

There may be a slight problem with the long paper core, there may be a deviation of the edge or something at 0.4 mm.

In testing with A5 and A4 paper

If the size is not correct, you can adjust the size with the inkscarp program by reducing the size to 0.1 mm and the work will be exactly the same.
