borderless printing setting not available 7155

[LLee0218]

I can't find the borderless printing option on my HP Envy Photo 7155.  I had a recent problem with my printer not printing and had to call HP's help desk.  The representative install new software however I haven't been able to find the borderless printing option since.  Before this is was under my advance settings, but the option is no longer available.

Welcome to the HP Community.

Printer supports Borderless printing as shown in the Specifications

 Product Specifications for the HP ENVY Photo 7155 All-in-One Printer (Z3M52A)

I don't have any examples (or records) that shows Borderless in Advanced.

That said, the document on the subject of print settings says (in essence) that settings can be about anywhere in the Preferences hierarchy.  (This is my interpretation of what I have read.)

HP print settings guide (Windows, Mac)

The example, the sample image later in this message shows Borderless in the installed printer software > Tab Paper / Quality

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

If this is going to work at all, you do have to have two things:

1. Installed full driver printer software
2. Updated printer firmware

Printer Software Check

Notes

If the printer software is installed, you will see the printer listed in Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features.

In addition, the installed software places two shortcut icons on the Desktop named for the printer.

Printer software  not installed?

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.

Printer Firmware Update

At this writing, a firmware update was released in March 2021

HP ENVY Photo 7100 All-in-One Printer series Firmware Update 

Borderless Printing

Reminder:  Many printers that do support Borderless printing only do so on certain paper sizes AND on certain paper types.  For example, Borderless printing might only be supported on Photo Paper and Brochure paper.

Example - Printing Preferences - main menu and tab entries for Shortcut "Everyday Printing"

HP Smart - Windows - Borderless Photo Print

HP Smart Windows is an application and by implication, "self contained". 

That said, it is important that the full driver printer software be installed to support the options in HP Smart for various print and scan jobs, including selecting a Shortcut in More Settings

Examples - HP Smart - Windows - Simple Photo Print - Borderless
