There really are some printers that can do it, including the Canon
S530D on my desk.
If I just set the margins to 0", I get the "outside printable area"
message. If I tell Word to fix the margins, it sets the side margins
to 0.25". However, if I tell it to ignore the message and then print
with zero margins, the outer 0.125" gets cut off. That's Word's normal
behavior.
But... the printer has a "borderless printing" option in the dialog
(supplied by the printer driver) that I reach by clicking the
Properties button in Word's Print dialog. This option is intended for
photo printing, but it can also be used for ordinary documents. I set
the page margins in Word to 0.125" all around, click Ignore in the
warning, check the printer's "borderless printing" option and set it
to maximum expansion, and voilą! The document prints to the edges of
the paper.

I doubt that your printer is capable, even tho you think so. Word is
perfectly capable and is driven only by the printer driver (pun intended).

...
I want to use a letterhead with graphics right up to the edge of the paper.
My printer is capable of this but Word seems not to allow it.
I have tried Custom sizes of paper in the printer set-up and in Word but
it
is very hit and miss.
Considering that I may need to share the template are there any elegant
solutions?
Thanks
