I have been spinning my tires for some time now and for the life of me cannot print this drawing from layout to save my life, what is going on?

Please help.

Image is also too close to the edge of your titleblock/boundary, it may mask it in some prints/pdf viewers

Normally I would use full bleed however it is not showing for my print options. How do I fix this?

The "Paper size" choices are specific to what "Printer/plotter" you have selected -- choose one that has full-bleed choices.

Thank you but now the paper space text disappears when placed over the viewport. How is this fixed?

Also how did you center the dotted line?

1) uncheck this box that does what you want perhaps

2) MOVE command, I moved your content to fit inside the outline: do you not know how to do that by chance? As a general rule, when you cannot move one thing but can move everything else, then MOVE everything else instead.
