Borderless printing on windows 11

[counselor62]

I print photos, which is why I bought a photo printer.  I had no problem printing totally borderless pix on my 7800 series.  After my upgrade (they laughingly call  it) I can not get true borderless printing.  I used to be able to go into advanced settings and choose the borderless printing sessions and also choose max dpi.  I can no longer do that even when I try to print through HP Smart (another laughing term) App.  I choose borderless printing but still get a small white rim around it.

My other laptop still has Windows 10 and it works exactly the way I need it.

Next, (optional) install the Universal Scan Software.

When using HP Smart to print photos, remember to select the options from the main print menu.

Next, open More Settings to select your Shortcut (select the shortcut for Borderless printing). 

Select other compatible options.

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,

What if?
