Publisher printing problems

[Lace Mitchell]

My employer is running for office and asked me to make up some flyers in Publisher that he could have printed and cut into thirds. I have all my margins set to zero, but when I use the print preview, the left margin cuts off part of the image. I'm unsure whether it's Publisher or the printer doing this; let's just say, regardless, my employer has an array of flyer sizes due to the way I had to position them.

I'm using Publisher 2003 and the HP Officejet Pro L7555 All-in-one printer (however, we're having them printed at OfficeMax, so I'm assuming the problem is in Publisher). I'm printing three flyers per page, front and back, so the page layout is "landscape".

Any help at all would be amazing!

Probably an issue with your printer, many printers need a little space along
the edge for paper handling and don't allow printing to the very edge of the
paper. I took a quick look at the HP site and it looks like that printer
will do borderless printing for photos, but not letter-size.

Check with your print shop to see what they recommend, they may be able to
take your pub file and it will print fine once set up for their printer or
you could convert to a PDF and give them that with the image out to the
edge. With 2003, you would need to have a PDF converter (printer) app on the
computer or if you know someone with a newer version of Publisher, the PDF
feature is built-in.

Turns out it is the printer; I just have to figure out how to turn on borderless printing. As I said before, I'm using the HP Officejet Pro L7555 -- I've dug around the printing settings but all I can find is a "Minimize margins" settings, which I've activated; however, still have to find how to turn on "borderless" (specfically) printing.

You'd be better off converting to a PDF with a bleed. According to HP this
printer does not print edge to edge.

You probably won't find how to turn it on, as I said, that printer does not
seem to do full bleed (edge-to-edge) printer except for precut photo paper.
