So I made this great 8.5 x 11 LO that I really wanted to print out borderless. First I went to page set up in my PSE4 file and and scrolled to borderless 8.5 x 11. Then to print. 3 sides printed right up to the border. Actually a little beyond and but the top of the page had a strip of unprinted paper. Kind of like the LO shifted on the page. I have searched high and low through my printer info and PSE 4 but can't find anything that addresses my problem? Anyone out there have a clue what I can do to fix this? I am using an hp photosmart 7960 photo printer.. TIA

I save a JPEG of my LO first. I save to a folder for pages or projects in my ScrapbookDownload folder. Go to file in PSE4/Save AS, change to JPEG and browse to where you want to save to/ Save. Then I go to folder and highlight the picture I want to print by clicking once on it. To the left click on Print this picture. A photo printing wizard comes up.
Select picture to print(it should already have check mark by it)/click Next.
Printing options(here you can set the paper you are using and also the size(8.5x11 borderless)/click ok.
click next
layout selection(this will give you a preview of how it will print)/next
Finish

Hope this is clear and works for you.
I'm sure there is an easier way but this works best for me.
I have a HP2575

Well, I have an HP 8200 printer, and I just print my psd file directly from PSE4. I have never had any blank paper; in fact, it always cuts off just a little bit, so I have to remember that when I'm designing my pages - don't put anything too close to the edges. I'm not sure why you had a problem with that - was your paper in the paper tray correctly?

Thanks to both of you.. I found my problem and of course it was as simple as an unchecked box.... "Auto fit".. Why must there be so many hoops to jump through to get things to work the way we want them to :+)...
