Printing Doesnt fill entire page?

[Andrew]

I used a default template for a tri-fold brochure. I create an object that
contains a color for the backround of the entire file and size it to match
the area of the project (8.5 x 11)
However when I go to print it i get a white border around the entire
outside.

How do I get it so the color goes all the way to the edge of the page.

Open WordPad, file, page setup, input zero in each of the margin boxes. WordPad
defaults to your printer's margin limitation. This is why you are getting the white
border... Your printer cannot print to the edge unless you have full bleed
capabilities.

how does changing that in wordpad effect publisher? I did that and I still
have a white border.

I checked my printer settings and do not see anything about full bleed. Its
a Minolta Magicolor 2300 Color Laserjet.

Thanks

Yeah I said laserjet as force of habit, usually use them. This printer was
far from cheap, I have to dig further and see if it has full bleed.
Otherwise I guess Ill have to send it to a printing shop.

Thanks
