Removal of white borders on printout.

[Kellaig]

I have a document written in Word for which I used Page Colour to fill it in green.  When it prints out, there is a white border around the edges.  How can I remove this?

Word printing is document printing.

Borderless printing is available in printing for the sizes and paper types supported for Borderless printing.

If your printer is a "Pro" version of the series, example

 Product Specifications for the HP OfficeJet Pro 9010 All-in-One Printer (1KR46C)

Borderless printing

Yes, on photo and brochure paper only, up to 8.5 x 11 in (US letter), 210 x 297 mm (A4)

Non-"Pro" version of the printer:  HP OfficeJet 9010 All-in-One Printer series 

Product Specifications for the HP OfficeJet 9012 All-in-One Printer (1KR44A)

Borderless printing

Yes, on photo and brochure paper only, up to 8.5 x 11 in (US letter), 210 x 297 mm (A4)

You perhaps do not have the option to print "borderless" in your current settings.

Change your paper - use Photo or Brochure paper.

Remember to tell the printer about the paper change...

Paper Setting on Printer Control / Display Panel

Check / Adjust / Retain the Paper at the Printer Display Panel

Open Printer Tray,

If you have not yet done so, add desired paper type

Close Tray

IF applicable for your printer:

On the Printer Control / Display Panel, Click Modify (wording varies), set the paper size and type, Click OK

NOTE:  If the size of the Paper Size is not in the Drop-down list, Select Custom

==================================================================

Set the Preferences - Windows

1. Check / enable the printer as the “Default Printer”

Settings > Devices > Printers and scanners

UNCHECK (clear box) Let Windows manage my default printer

Select (Left-Click) your printer from the list of printers > Manage > Set as Default

1. Select and adjust settings in each category for the Media (kind of paper), source (tray), and paper size.

Settings > Devices > Printers and scanners

Left-Click on (your) Printer > Manage > Printing Preferences

Next

Tab Printing Shortcuts > Click / Highlight your preferred shortcut > Click Apply > Click OK to exit

NOTE - Make changes to a Shortcut

• Select a shortcut and adjust the settings for paper, source (tray), other settings
• If there is a More > section, check / adjust settings in the sub-sections > Click OK to save sub-menu changes
• If supported, save the edited shortcut or use “Save As” or “Create Custom Shortcut” to save under a new name
• Click OK to save the setup

==========================================================================

See if you can print a page of the document "borderless" using the proper (supported) paper.

Will that work? 

Maybe - document printing, regardless of the Media type (kind of paper) might not allow "borderless".

The settings are not always flexible in combination.

Duplex is usually restricted to particular Media (kind of paper) and Paper Size.

Photo paper does not support duplex.

Brochure paper generally does so - but again, the Paper Size is also a determining factor.

Borderless is perhaps not compatible with your duplex setting.

You might have to choose between borderless and duplex.

Thank you so much Dragon Fur.  I have resorted to manual double sided on photo paper and that does the job - slow but at least I get there!  Excellent advice from you. Much appreciated!

You are welcome.

"As long as it works" is sometimes the best solution.
