When I print with my SD card in my printer, the photos print fine and without any border, but when I go to print a photo on any sort of photo paper it gives me an uneven white border around all my pictures. I wouldn't be too upset if the image was centered at least, but it's not.
This is an issue for me because I edit my photos on photoshop, and want to print the edited ones, but the printer will only ever recognize the raw original photos directly from my camera and not the ones I've edited on the SD card to print.
I've searched the forums and most sollutions say "Your printer does not support borderless printing" which I can't believe, seeing as not only does it print borderlessly from the printer but the white border is uneven on every side of the image which makes them look sloppy and unprofessional.
tldr; I want to print edge-to-edge on a 4x6 piece of photo paper but the image always comes out uncentered with white around it. Does anyone have a sollution? I have a HP Envy 5530.
Thanks.

What driver do you have installed? If you use the basic driver built in to Windows 10 only very basic print options will be provided as shown in the following:
To get better results download the full featured or basic driver from HP here. This will provide much improved selection of printer features. Make sure your image aspect ration matches the paper size; for example, if your photo media is 4"x6" you will want to make sure the ratio of the sides is 1.5 to 1.
