HP 7720 wont print A3 colour borderless printing

[BasHes]

I have tried a lot of different ways to print in A3 with this printer, and it keeps printing in just black, and the image is all shaky, literally zig-zag lines.

The problem happens when i turn borderless printing off, which is exactly what i wanted.

I have seen multiple people ask about this and no one seems to have the fix for this.

I have wasted a lot of paper and ink by trying to figure this out on my own and it isnt working.

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

The following is relevant to a supported version of Windows.

• Install the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software to gain access to the printer features.

After the driver is installed,

• Alert the printer to the paper size / type - Tray and Paper
• Check that the Printer Properties is set to use that full driver as opposed to a Microsoft or IPP class driver.

=========================

Printer - Full Feature Software - Install

If you have not done so, consider

• HP Full Feature Software / Full Driver printer software - supports printing and scanning from the web, printing in in other software and programs (for example, Word), and provides access to the full range of Printing Preferences / Shortcuts.  The full driver adds at least two shortcuts to the Desktop:  Printer Assistant and HP Scan.  If the printer model includes built-in Fax hardware, the software supports the setup and use of the Fax driver.  No Sign-in required.

If the full driver printer software is (already) installed but not working,

• Uninstall any printer software from Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features
• Restart the computer and sign in.

Next,

• Check (for the Printer) in Devices and Printers  > If found, Right-Click Printer and Remove -- If any changes are made, that is, you remove anything, Restart the computer and sign in.I

Next,

• If using a printer USB cable between the printer and the computer, disconnect the cable before installing the printer software.

• Download and Save the Full Feature Software installation package or the Easy Start Software

For your Printer

After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in

Installation

• Open File Explorer
• Navigate to the folder in which you saved the installation file  (likely Downloads)
• Right-Click on the installation package and “Run as Administrator”
• If using a printer USB cable between the printer and the computer, connect the cable when instructed (near the end of the installation).
• After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in

Next,

Optional -- Supported for your printer

Next – HP Universal Scan Software - Model Dependent –

•  HP Universal Scan Full Feature Software adds OCR libraries to installed HP Scan software.  HPUS installs a new, full featured, (and separate) HP Scan software shortcut to the Desktop.
• Note:  HPUS can be installed as standalone or installed after the full feature printer software.
• After the software is installed, Restart the computer and sign in
• HP Universal Scan Software provides a larger GUI to make using the software easier on high-resolution screens.   New features have been added to the main menu to help with navigating the settings.
