How do you get rid of white borders that appear when you print?

[ledwallace]

I'm printing a full 8 1/2 by 11 flyer and want the color to print completely
on the page. There is a graphic that has white in it so I need to have the
printing put the background color. I have tried both to apply the color as a
background and as a shape that is filled in but both times when I go to print
I have a white border. I have adjusted the page size and the grid size to go
to the edges. I can't find anywhere on the page set up menu where I can
adjust the margins.

Thanks

This is a printer limitation. Newer Canon inkjets, some HP's and I'm not
sure what else are capable of borderless printing. If your printer is
capable of borderless printing, the option for that is in the print driver
menu's. What is the make and model of your printer? The only way you will
end up with white printing is to use white paper.

Thanks. I was just about to look at the printer limitations. I have a HP
1210 and I think that may be the problem. Which is not as big of an issue
because I will have to have these printed in bulk elsewhere.

Thanks again.

You want to ask the printer if they can/will accept Publisher files.
Unfortunately not all of them do.

I am no HP printer expert, but I think that in newer models, the paperfeed
allows full page printing in a way that older models couldn't.. looking
through the slot in front gives little away..

You misread my comment. I didn't say to check with his printer
manufacturer, I said "ask the printer". Literally. He mentioned getting the
printing done elsewhere.
