Borderless Printing on HP Envy 6020

[iklektyk]

How do I set up borderless printing on the HP Envy 6020?  Or simply make the margins smaller?

I am trying to print some Avery labels and I CANNOT print them with HP Smart or else they come out wrong.  I have to print them directly from the PDF.  They come out fine except the left and right margins cut off some of the text.  I have tried to go to the printer settings and preferences and whatnot, but nothing in there has allowed me to change the margins.  Even when I did see the margins area, it was grayed out and wouldn't let me change them.

Thank you for your help!

The printer supports Borderless printing

 Product Specifications for the HP ENVY 6020 All-in-One Printer (5SE16B)

Borderless printing

Yes (up to 8.5 x 11 in, 216 x 297 mm)

That said, Borderless printing might only be supported on certain content, paper sizes / paper types.

For example,

Many printers restrict borderless printing to content type and to Photo paper / Brochure paper.

Documents might not print "borderless".

HP Smart is perhaps not the best tool for this job.

Assuming the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software is installed,

then

Consider creating your template / label document using Word,

Export the document to PDF,

Print the label document using Adobe Reader DC

Example - Adobe Reader DC - Label Print Sample - Standard sheet size

Method - Use the Easy Start Wrapper to Install the Full Feature / Full Driver Software

For printers that support the option,

Use the Easy Start wrapper to install and configure the printer software.

• Home Page - HP Easy Start 
• Open Category Software and Drivers 
• Topic: Software-Utility 
• Download-and-Save  the current version of the Easy Start wrapper to install your print software 
• If using USB:  Disconnect the USB cable between the printer and computer before installing the software.

• Right-Click on the downloaded package and "Run as Administrator" to start the installation

• Select to install the “Full Driver” / “Full Feature Software”
• If using USB:  Connect the cable when instructed to do so (near the end of the installation process).
• After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in.

Notes >> Easy Start... The Journey

1. Full Administrator Rights are required to complete the HP Software installation.
2. About 2/3 of the way through the setup, you will be given the opportunity to select the software - select the "Full Driver" set (as opposed to the basic driver or other application).
3. You can skip / ignore suggestion(s) that you add the HP Account – you’ll need the account at some point, for now, you can skip this suggestion (as many times as it insists it’s a good idea) during the full driver software installation.
4. If you see it, you can skip / ignore suggestion(s) regarding Instant Ink subscription.  Instant Ink subscription is NOT mandatory.
5. Full driver includes print and scan functions supported by your printer and provides the printer features on which other applications / software might depend.
