Unable to Borderless Print A5 !?

[ste_ve]

Hi,

Been trying many different ways to print a borderless image (for a wedding invite) but each time it comes out with a approximately 3mm border.

Image is A6 in size and needs printing onto A5 paper.

Have tried the following:

• Selecting different paper types - 3 different type of photo and plain paper just to check (although I believe the photosmart 5520 won't print borderless on plain paper?)
• Using default A5 paper size setting within the printer window
• Using a manually created A5 paper size without borders
• Scaling the image to be approximately 6mm larger than A5 (in photoshop)
• Chagning zoom setting in the print windows to make it approximately 6mm larger (image just appear zoomed but still with a border)
• Changing image size to be A5 (in photoshop)
• Unselecting double sided printing 
• Printing from Photoshop and Adobe (saved as PDF first)
• All combinations of the above!

Getting a little annoyed now!  None of the above have worked and there is always a 3mm border. Had a look through previous forum entries and had a good Google but not found any solutions that fix the problem.  Only thing I did notice is that there does not appear to be a default paper size of 'A5 borderless', whereas this does exist for A6 and A4!

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance,

Ste

Update:  it seems to be the paper size that is the issue.  

If I print using the default paper sizes of 'A6 without borders' or 'A4 without borders', then I can print right up to the edge of the paper but there is no in-built A5 without borders setting!  I have created a custom paper size for A5 without borders but it always prints with a border!!!  AAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Any one had similar issues with custom paper sizes?
