I have a Word document (4 pages) having selected the US Borderless 8.5 x 11 with narrow margins - portrait (15 font). When I go to Print under the Layout option there is a Booklet option. However, the system automatically puts a 1 1/2 inch margin at the top and a 1inch margin at the bottom of each page. I have tried "scale to fit paper size" and that doesn't change the top and bottom margins. Because the top and bottom margins are so big the font scales down really small. If the top and bottom margins weren't automatically so large the font size would be larger and still fit the document onto the 4 pages. This is a normal portrait document in Word 365 for Mac. I have not change the Page Layout in Word, just selected Booklet in the Layout option in the HP print window. (actually there is no booklet option in Word for Mac)Screen Shot 2021-07-19 at 5.13.06 PM.pngScreen Shot 2021-07-19 at 5.13.49 PM.png

Welcome to the HP support community.

 

I understand that you are getting border while printing from MS word, follow these steps to fix the issue.

The paper size must be set to borderless in both the application (MS Word) and the printer driver.

To set borderless printing in the application, follow the steps below.

Click File, then Page Setup.

In the Page Setup dialog box,

click the Paper tab. Under Paper Size, select the appropriate borderless paper size.

To select borderless printing in the printer driver, follow the steps below.

In the application, click File, and then click Print. In the Print dialog box, click Properties, and then click the Paper/Quality tab.

Select the appropriate borderless paper size.

NOTE: Under Paper Type, you cannot choose plain paper and print borderless. Choose photo or brochure paper instead.

 

Let me know how it goes.

To thank me for my efforts to help you, please mark my post as an accepted solution so that it benefits several others.

Cheers.
