Default How to have word print edge to edge??

Have you tried a photo setting? That is the only way I can get edge to edge
printing in Publisher. It will use more ink. If you are okay with that, it could
be your solution.

No - have tried that - the default setting of the printer is "print to edge"
so it doesn't change anything.

Is the whole thing a problem of Word or a problem of the printer???
HP wont help me because they say that it is word that causes the problem.

Thanks
Ole

Try changing the setting in the printer Properties before starting Word. Does
it work then?

Found this:

This means that it IS word that causes the problems - the printer driver
settings are never used in word only the default printer settings - anyone
who knows a work around for edge to edge printing?

Thanks

The printer setting are set to 'print to edge' and the margins are set to
0. There are absolutely no problems when printing from Excel with exactly
the same settings. I don't think the printer driver is able to distinguish
between word and excel so th eproblem must be located in word!

Thanks

The limits of the print area in Word are set by the printer driver. If the
printer is capable of printing to the edge as you indicate, there will
probably be a setting in the driver (probably relating to photograph
printing) that allows it to do so. This is not something controlled by
Word.

Hi,

I have an HP 6500 which is able to print to edge and it is setup to do
so.It works well when printing from other programs but not from word that
puts a wjite edge 0,32 mm around the paper. Anyone who knows a way to
have word printing to the edge?

Thanks
Ole
