Hi all.

Using a Deskj Jet 2600.

I'm in Canada.  I use 8 1/2 X 11 (inches) paper, commonly referred to as "US letter".

Whenever I print, in order to print the whole page, I have to select "Scale to Fit" (which automatically adds the value "91%" in the "scale" parameter).

If I don't do that, the top (and bottom, maybe) will be "clipped".

This seems to happen no matter which application I'm printing from (Chrome, Mail, TextEdit, Preview, etc, etc.)

Why is this???

Thanks.

Hi,

The printer does not support border-less printing and have a minimum print margins which are not printable, the bottom 12.7mm (1.27cm) are not printable and therefore the need to scale to meet the hardware's printable area:
