How to print photos with equal borders

[HelenB63]

I have just repleced my Deskjet 2510 with a 2630 and was most surprised and cross to find that the new one won't print photos centrally, as the bottom margin is much bigger than the others. I can't see a way of changing this so would be grateful for advice if it is possible somehow.

Photo printing depends on the software you are using to print the photo.

Most photo printing software can "center" the image on the paper - the exact steps, of course, depend on the program you are using.

•  Print Driver Settings Guide (Windows)

Example -  Paint (mspaint)

Sample shows "vertical" centering - select one or both options depending on your photo / image.
