Hi,
I can't seem to find the "Minimize Margins" option for my printer that are mentioned on the following HP page:
(Under "Paper-handling specifications"/"Print Margins")
It says to "Click the Advanced tab in the printer driver, and then select Minimize Margins".
However, i cannot find "Minimize Margins" under the Advanced tab.
I have installed the latest drivers for the printer, as well HP Smart.
I've tried going through my Windows 10 computer "Settings/Printers & scanners/HP OfficeJet Pro 8710/Manage", both through "Printer properties/Advanced" and "Printing Preferences/Advanced".
I've tried with both the "HP OfficeJet Pro 8710 PCL-3" driver and the "HP PCL3 A-size Printer Class Driver" selected in the "Printer properties/Advanced" tab. They give a different looking "Printing preferences" menu, but in neither case is there a "Minimize Margins" option under the Advanced tab.
Any advise on this?
What i essentially want to do is to minimize my margins as much as possible. Right now printing needs an 1" margin or it'll cut the page.

@wmattias, Welcome to HP Support Community!
Which application are you trying to print from?
Meanwhile, refer to the document HP Printers - Print Driver Settings Guide (Windows) for help.
Keep me posted for further assistance.
