large border on one side of page

[jules8591]

Does anyone know if i can enable my above printer to do borderless printing please?

or is there something i can do to change the size of the border,

otherwise it leaves a huge gap at the bottom or side of page (portrait or landscape)& cuts off a piece of my background or image. 

Thanks in advance

The Datasheet for the HP DeskJet 2630 All-in-One Printer (essentially the same printer) indicates the printer does not support borderless printing.

Print margins: Top: 3 mm; Bottom: 12.7 mm; Left: 3 mm; Right: 3 mm;

Maximum print area: 215 x 355 mm

Caveat:

If using 4x6 inch "tab" paper, the paper is actually a bit longer than the 4x6 size to accomodate the "tab" at the end of the paper.  The tab is intended to allow easy handling or the addition of a small note.  Load the paper into the printer according to the instructions in your printer User Guide.

Minimize borders

• Use a simple image viewer / printing software and apply centering both horizontally and vertically.

Paint (mspaint) supports centering

Open photo / image to be printed in Paint

File > Print > Page Setup

  

To reduce the chance of misconfiguration errors, use a software that helps adjust the print settings.

For example, 

Download, save, and install:
