I am trying to print a brochure with a four-way bleed. I set up for
borderless printing on glossy brochure paper, but the program keeps
defaulting to regular 8.5X11" letter paper and leaving a 3/4" white border.
In 'page setup' under printer properties, I call for 8.5X11" borderless
paper size, borderless printing, HP glossy brochure paper, and best printing
quality. I have also set printer defaults to these settings. Print preview
then shows the brochure as intended, borderless.
Then I go to the File tab and Print, check all borderless settings, and
click on OK. The screen flickers, the print preview goes back to showing the
document cut off by 3/4" on the right side (in landscape), and if I allow
printing to proceed, this border shows up on paper.
When I re-check the page setup, I find that the paper size has been changed
back to letter paper and 'borderless printing' has been unchecked. Yet when I
look at the default printer settings, they are as they're supposed to be.
Complicating things, on a couple of occasions Publisher has printed this
very same brochure properly, without cutting it off. I have tried everything
I know, every way I could find to reset the paper choice, to no avail.
This is driving me NUTS!
The printer is not at fault, by the way. It prints borderless 8.5X11" all
day long from other software, and the problem persists even when the printer
(an HP 5740) and its driver have been uninstalled.
I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who can tell me what I'm doing wrong.
