Welcome to the HP Community --

 

Although the specifications do not specifically prohibit Borderless printing on "Plain paper" or Paper Size (printer model dependent), it is possible the settings are objecting to either the paper type and size combination, the Quality setting, or one of the hidden settings (in one of the other tabs).

 

Unfortunately, lacking software that will automatically prevent conflicts and tell you which of the settings is causing the problem, you will have to test your setup to eliminate the conflict.

 

Yes, I realize you want to know which setting is at fault. 

 

What? 

Conflict preventing software exists -- the printing queue is print model and driver dependent. 

Unimportant in this context.
