A6 Borderless printing help

[Sara K]

I am trying to print anA6 invitation as a landscape, borderless document on a
new lexmark 6530 that supports A6 borderless printing. I created it in
Publisher 2003. I have the margins set to 0 all around. When I print the
document, the left and bottom are in fact borderless but the top and right
sides are not. I have the page layout and paper size set to A6 borderless,
though I have also tried doing a custom size with the demensions entered. Any
help would be immensely appreciated as I have been at this with no luck for
hours. As far as I can tell, all the needed drivers are installed. Thanks!

Don't know much about Lexmark. Some printers will not print borderless unless
you select photo paper.

I cannot get my HP printer to print borderless within Publisher. I save the
publication as a picture and print it through the HP software.

By the way, I should also mention that I've tried saving it as a jpeg and
printing it using the Lexmark productivity center -- same thing happens.

You might want to see what Lexmark has to say. I could not find any support
documents for your specific printer but there is this generic article. Your
printer may be just too new for support documents.

I have experienced a similar problem trying to print an A6 borderless card on
A6 paper. The Canon Pixma MP 600 has a mind of its own. No matter what
combination of paper, page set up etc is entered, as soon as the borderless
check box is checked the printer insists on opting for A4 papers which result
in borders around the images.

However, using a 'blank publication' - 'side fold of 4 pages', and using
either pages one and four or pages two and three, and editing the A6 (1/2 A4)
section to your needs.
In printer options check the borderless box, increase the Extension slider,
margins to '0'. Leave the printer thinking it is using A4 paper but use A6
size. I am now beginning to print borderless A6 cards after hours assuming
that it would be a simple procedure with a relatively new printer and MS
Publisher 2003.

There is a choice of two side fold blank publications so one of them will
meet your needs.
I hope this may be of use.
