HP Deskjet 2800e Landscap printing margin issues

[S615]

Hi. I have a HP Deskjet 2800e Printer. Portrait printing is fine. However, when I print landscpe, the margins get cut off, I have tried adjusting the margins, trying printing fit to scale, nothing works. Am using Libre Office writer to print. If I convert the doc to PDF, then print Landscape, Fit to scale, that works fine.

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated

Sincerely

Welcome to the HP Community --

Thank you for posting your question!

You can perhaps print the original document in the orientation you want if you increase / set all the margins to 1/2 inch (12.7 mm).

Should that not work for any reason, use the method you have discovered:

Export the document to PDF.

Print "Shrink to Fit" or similar depending on your PDF printing app.

The following is relevant to using a DeskJet Printer.

Reminder

At this writing, DeskJet printers require a larger margin along the bottom edge --

12.7mm (1/2 inch)

Borderless Printing

No

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 generally suggested solution to prevent chopped content is to keep all data inside of 12.7mm (1/2 inch) on the bottom edge, including all page numbers, footer information, or other notations.
