Whit borders on 4x6 prints

[nboerner]

I am trying to print 4x6 photos and keep getting about 3/16 inch white border on 3 sides and about 5/8 at the bottom of print.  I have set all setting to 4x6 in the program (picassa) and the printer settings.  How do I print full 4x6 without any white borders, thanks.

@nboerner 

The printer supports borderless printing.

Reference

Product Specifications for the HP ENVY Photo 7855 All-in-One Printer (K7R96A)

Section Paper Handling

Borderless printing

Yes (up to 8.5 x 11 in, 216 x 297 mm)

If the application is actually "Picasa",

Printing in the retired Picasa  app is not something for which I can provide advice.

There might be some left-over user groups out there still using this application.

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

Borderless Printing

Some printers that do support Borderless printing - this model might be one of these - restrict borderless printing to certain types of paper.  For example, Borderless printing might only be available when using and selecting "Photo paper" or "Brochure paper".

Photo printing is supported through having installed the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software.

Preparation / Help

If the printer software is not installed in Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features,

Install the full driver printer software.

Note:  Your printer supports using the Easy Start wrapper to install the printer software.

Method - Use the Easy Start Wrapper to Install the Full Feature / Full Driver Software

For printers that support the option,

Use the Easy Start wrapper to install and configure the printer software.

• Home Page - HP Easy Start 
• Open Category Software and Drivers 
• Topic: Software-Utility 
• Download-and-Save  the current version of the Easy Start wrapper to install your print software 
• If using USB:  Disconnect the USB cable between the printer and computer before installing the software.

• Right-Click on the downloaded package and "Run as Administrator" to start the installation

• Select to install the “Full Driver” / “Full Feature Software”
• If using USB:  Connect the cable when instructed to do so (near the end of the installation process).
• After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in.

Notes >> Easy Start... The Journey

1. Full Administrator Rights are required to complete the HP Software installation.
2. About 2/3 of the way through the setup, you will be given the opportunity to select the software - select the "Full Driver" set (as opposed to the basic driver or other application).
3. You can skip / ignore suggestion(s) that you add the HP Account – you’ll need the account at some point, for now, you can skip this suggestion (as many times as it insists it’s a good idea) during the full driver software installation.
4. If you see it, you can skip / ignore suggestion(s) regarding Instant Ink subscription.  Instant Ink subscription is NOT mandatory.
5. Full driver includes print and scan functions supported by your printer and provides the printer features on which other applications / software might depend.
