Last Inch of Page not Printing

[stephsargent44]

Each time I print the last inch of the image/text is not printing. I have tried changing setting and such, but have had no luck. Has anyone else had this issue? How do I fix it?

See attached image. 

 

Thank you!

Welcome to the HP English Community --

You might be running into the printer's margin limitation.

DeskJet printers typically require a larger margin along the bottom edge.

If you rotate the print, the larger margin moves to the side.

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 solution to "chopped off" is to keep all data inside of 1/2 inch / 12.7mm on the bottom edge. 

This limitation includes all text, images, page numbers, footer information, cells, tables, lines, other notations, and all file types, too.

For example,

Create your original document with 1/2 inch margins.

When the document is Exported to PDF and printed, it has less chance of balking or being chopped.

Other possible contributors

• The shape of the original image does not exactly match the shape of the paper. 

The image must be made to fit the paper by editing the original image or perhaps using Crop during job submission to fill / force the shape of the image to match the shape of the paper.

Use "Fit", "Shrink to Fit", or similar to force the PDF content inside of the allowed margins.

Centering the content depends on the app / software, the margins, and the shape of the photo as compared to the shape of the paper (Aspect Ratio).

• The settings might be wrong.  This is not an attack on your ability to configure a job -- it is in the list of possible reasons the job is other than what you expect.

• The application or software you are using might be incapable of doing what you expect.

This is a bit of a stretch, though some apps are indeed much smarter than other apps.

Mobile device apps tend to be less robust than what you can find in Windows.

Got it, I thought it may be more of a printer issue than anything else. 

Do you have any suggestions on printers where I won't run into this problem? I've had HP printers for decades and this is the first time I have encountered this.

You are welcome.

Stay away from DeskJets if you need small / even margins and / or Borderless printing.

Nice little printers, I guess -- In my opinion these are not as well suited for serious or multi-facet printing

Start with the Envy series and go up from there to the OfficeJet Pro models.

Envy printers are mid-level and will serve for average printing needs.

The Envy printers I've looked at support reasonable margins and can print Borderless on one or more paper sizes and types.

OfficeJet Pro models start at a more modest office type printer and (at this writing) top out at the OfficeJet Pro 91xx and 97xx models.  For example, the HP OfficeJet Pro 9135e supports automatic 2-sided scan -- "lesser" models do not support that feature.  Of course, "best" costs a bit more than "enough".

My advice is to start the the HP Store --

HP sells only current models from economy DeskJets through printers for Office and Enterprise environments.

Start "big" to see what you can get and back off until you are in your price range.

Read the specifications carefully -- a missed feature of option makes the difference between, "Yeah, I can live with that" and "Nope, not doing that".
