1. A method for printing an image on print media with a printer, the method comprising:
determining whether a captured image associated with the print media conforms to a reference image associated with print data, wherein the captured image and the reference image comprise two-dimensional images; and
in response to determining that the captured image does not conform to the reference image, removing each of one column from a right vertical edge of the reference image and one row from a bottom horizontal edge of the reference image prior to printing the image on a succeeding print media after the print media.
