Deskjet 4152E not printing the entire page, no border option is missing.

[MikaFay]

When ever I go to print something it ALWAYS cuts off major portions of my page!!  Its frustrating because I can't tell you how much ink & paper I've wasted trying to fix this error!  I'm printing from Photoshop, but it does it no matter what I print from!

@MikaFay, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 
That sounds super frustrating—especially with how much ink and paper gets wasted when a printer doesn’t behave. Let’s work through this step by step to get your HP DeskJet 4152e printing full pages properly again.

Ensure Correct Printer Driver Is Installed

Sometimes Windows installs a basic driver that lacks full features like borderless printing.

• Go to: 123.hp.com
• Type HP DeskJet 4152e, then download and install the HP Smart App (it installs the full-feature driver).
• Restart your PC after installation.

Enable Borderless Printing (if supported)

Unfortunately, the DeskJet 4152e doesn’t officially support borderless printing. That means it always leaves a small white border and can’t print full edge-to-edge.But, you can maximize printable area by doing the following:

• Go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers.
• Right-click your printer > Printing Preferences.
• Select the correct paper size (e.g., Letter 8.5x11").
• Under the Layout or Paper/Quality tab, look for:
  • "Scale to Fit" or similar option — set to Fit to Page.
  • Disable "Minimize margins" if it’s pushing content off the page.

Photoshop Specific Fix:

• In Photoshop, go to File > Print.
• Select your printer.
• Make sure to:
  • Set Scaled Print Size to "Scale to Fit Media".
  • Set Paper Size to match actual paper (e.g., 8.5x11").
  • Click Print Settings → choose the same paper size.
• Try manually adjusting margins in Photoshop to keep content within the printable area.

Try a Test Print from Word or PDF

Open a simple Word doc or PDF:

• Print using Fit to Page.
• See if it still cuts off.
• If it prints fine, the issue may be specific to how Photoshop or a specific app sends data.

Advanced: Create a Custom Paper Size with Smaller Margins

• Go to Devices and Printers > Printer Properties.
• Click on Preferences > Advanced > Paper/Output > Paper Size.
• Create a custom paper size (e.g., 8.5x11 with 0.1" margins on all sides).
• Save and use this when printing — it gives Photoshop more printable space to work with.

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.
