So I have the task of printing these images to a set size 300dpi and 5cm x 3.5cm pretty simple really, I've adjusted the images in photoshop and saved them as a jpeg, when I print them off through photoshop sometimes they come out 5x3.5 others times they are 4.7 x 3.3 cm it's the exact same image used each time and I can't work out if it is photoshop or the printer anyone have any suggestions?

Place the image in InDesign, scale it to the size you want and print from there. It is a lot easier to control and there is no need to do any math yourself. – Wolff Jun 23 '17 at 13:47

In your printer dialog, check that the scaling is set to none, or 100%.
Just in case, also check the image dimensions are the same each time in Photoshop.
To print at 300dpi at those sizes, the dimensions should be as follows
5cm = 1.9685" x 300 = 590px
3.5cm = 1.37795" x 300 = 413px
By the way, I know the world has gone metric, but for the sake of calculations with dpi (dots per inch) - you need to use inches!
