Printing outside allowable margin

C

Carolyn

I have MS Office on Windows XP, and a Hewlett Packard Photosmart 7150 printer which has the capacity to print borderless photos. I want to print on user defined paper of 5"X5" for a memory book I've made. I did not have a problem printing the paper size (the book is 45 pages, so I know it works), but I want to print at the very bottome of the page for several pages on which I have added rubber stamping, and want to print underneath the stamped image. If I leave it at the allowable margins (it tells me I am outside the allowable margins), it will not print. Is there a way to add a user defined "borderless" paper size which I can then use. I have to choose between "borderless" or "user defined paper", because they are on the same drop down menu within the print setup. Any suggestions? Many thanks if you can help me, as I have a lot of time and effort already into this project, and can't finish it unless I restamp the appropriate pages instead of just moving the line down on the text of it. It's a memory book about my late former mother in law, and important to finish for family. Thanks so much..

Check the "printer preferences" dialog which is specific to your printer. I have an Espon which
gives me the choice of "standard" or "maximum" printed area. When I select "maximum", I don't get
the warning messages that I do with "standard"

Keith's suggestion sounds like a winner, but I would also suggest just
ignoring the warning (annoying though it may be) and trying to print. If you
succeed in printing the entire page regardless of the warning (as is often
the case), then that's your answer. If not, then you'll have to find a
different solution.
