Hello, @kaz-11 – Greetings!
 

Thanks for joining the HP Support Forums! I’d like to be of your assistance 🙂


Going through your post, I see that you are having issues while printing borderless on your HP Deskjet. You need to change the print settings to print borderless. Try the steps below:
 

  • Go to Control Panel – Devices and Printers.
  • Right-click on your printer and select “Printing Preferences”.
  • Select Printing Shortcut tab and change the Borderless option to “On”.
  • Apply and save the settings.


Now, try to print from your PC and check.
 

Let me know how that goes!

Cheers 🙂

Hello, @kaz-11

 

Check the "Printing Preferences" image below:

 

 

 


If that does not work, go to "Paper Quality" tab and select "Advanced" option.

From here, turn on the borderless option.

 

 

 

Let me know if that helps!

Good luck 🙂

hello,

 

 

 

I have the new HP 3720 printer and the printer preferences do not show the borderless option as stated on the HP ENVY 7640.

 

Thanks

Hello, @kaz-11

 

I do understand that you have an HP 3720 printer. I only send you those screenshots as I am using the Envy and the paper settings are similar 🙂

 

It looks like an issue with the drivers for your printer. Try a clean install and then try the steps I listed above:

 

  • First, unplug the USB cable from the printer if present.
  • Go to Control Panel – Programs and feature – Select all the HP Envy printer entries and uninstall them.
  • Now go to Control Panel – Devices and Printer – Select all the printer entries and remove the device.
  • Press the "windows key" + "r" to get the "Run" window open - Type "printui.exe /s" (There is a space between .exe & /) and press enter.
  • Under print server properties, go to drivers - remove any entry there as well.
  • Again, go to the Run window, type – “c:/programdata” – Go to Hewlett Packard folder, remove any printer related folders & files.
  • Restart your computer.
  • Now, click http://hp.care/2teImjy to download and install the software.
  • Connect the USB cable if prompted and follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation.

 

Let me know how that goes!

Are you getting the borderless options for 4*6 photo paper? Please let me know.

 

If no, then take a screenshot of the printer preferences tab & the advanced options and attach with the reply.
