HP Envy 4500 Margins Too Big

[animalactivist]

Whenever I print a document - from Word, Preview, anything - the printer's margins are too big. It won't print headers and footers that most printers would have no problem printing. How do I minimize the printing margins so my full document appears?

(My solution to this date has been choosing "scale to fit" on the printing options, but these leads to less professional looking headers and footers on my documents.)

Hi @animalactivist,

I understand that you wanted to know how to set margins when printing from your HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One Printer.

This did not help unfortunately. I changed the margin sizes to .1 inches all around on the custom paper size in the print box, and the printer still cut off more than .1 inches (approximately .5 inches) around the paper.
