Why does my printer not print borderless photos

Welcome to the HP English Community --

 

This line of printers lack some of the features of more expensive models.

 

Printer is not made to print borderless.

Printer also requires a larger margin along the bottom edge.

 

 

Reminder

At this writing, most DeskJet printers (including this one) require a larger margin along the bottom edge --

12.7mm (1/2 inch)

 

Borderless PrintingNo
Print Margin Bottom (A4)12.7 mm
Print Margin Left (A4)3 mm
Print Margin Right (A4)3 mm
Print Margin Top (A4)3 mm

 

There is no software, firmware, or alignment that changes the larger margin requirement.

 

The solution is to keep all data inside of 1/2 inch on the bottom edge.  This includes all page numbers, footer information, or other notations.

 

 

Use "Fit", "Shrink to Fit", or similar to force the PDF content inside of the allowed margins.
