I don't have Photoshop at my disposal right now, but I'll try it out myself asap.
So, to make things really clear:
-you have your photograph open, at 100x120 pixels
-you open a new document, size 1080x1152 pixels
-you activate your photograph doc, select it (Ctrl+A), copy it to the clipboard (Ctrl+C), activate the empty doc and paste the photo (Ctrl.V) as a new layer on your empty doc,
OR
you drag your photograph unto the other doc so that it opens as a new layer
You print it, and your printer's software does not have the option checked to automatically resize to full size of your paper (what is the dpi setting of your final doc? 72, 266, 300?)
and the printed image is bigger than it should be?
Sorry Erik if my query is not clear regarding to my English ability.

I did both of the steps. The result is:
- The photograph 100 x 120 pixel is bigger when it is printed in the paper, comparing to the same photograph when it is duplicated or copy+paste in the 1080x1152 pixel canvas.
- My purpose to copy+paste the image into the bigger canvas is, I want to have five images (100 x 120 pixel) in one bigger layer (1080x1152) so I can save photo paper and ink when I print it.
-The problem is, how to get the actual image size (100 x 120 pixel) when we copy+paste into the bigger layer? It seems the size is change when I did that.
-I set my image to the setting 300 dpi (for printing purpose)
Where are you from? Perhaps another language might be easier in this case?
100x120 pixels at 300pixels per inch mean that your photographs will be only some 8mm wide and 9 mm high. This is very small. Is this what you want? I don't think so...
The image that I attached in the previous message was not actually image size. That is just for sample. It will too big if I attach the original file.
The actual size for the image is 3 cm wide and 4 cm high. I want to print it in the A-4 size paper. I need some images to put on A-4 paper with that image size (3x4 cm) , that's why I want to duplicate it.
It is not the size of your image, but the pixels. If you need 300 pixels in one inch (and one inch is about 2,5cm) and your image is 100 pixels wide, then you have 1/3 of an inch or 2,5cm divided by three,33, giving some 0,8 mm.
If you open the image size dialog box (Image>Image Size), you can change the units to cm, and set to 300dpi. Fill in your desired sizes in cm and that way you can see exactly how many pixels your image has to be to print at the size you want.
Last night I tried again. And now I know, the problem is the resolution is not the same. The image resolution for the new canvas is bigger (300 pixel/inch) than the image that I want to move/drag (100 pixel/inch). That causes image became smaller when I move/drag that image to the new canvas. I have to work in the same resolution, that's the key.
Small and simple, but it becomes problem when I dont know it.
