[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1815847, member: 396914"] It's a printer limitation and you are NEVER going to find a workaround. The printer will not deposit any ink outside the internal limitations. You need to get a printer that can print color photos at 8.5X11 (or whatever size paper you want to use) and set it up to print the image as a photograph. That may mean saving it somehow as a PDF and then converting to JPG, or PNG or some picture format to fool the printer. Make sure the printer you use will actually print a full image to the size you want. Some will say 8.5X11 but will leave a border around the edge of whatever safety margin they program into the print engine. If you have a printer that can take 11x17, you could lie to it that the paper you are putting in is, say 9 X 11.5 and then see if it will print to the edge. You may have to move the paper in the feed tray over that .25 inch, if it will allow it. If not, you will still get the .25 inch border on the left edge. Or you can print it in the center of the 11x17 sheet and then trim away the white to end up with 8.5x11 colored to the edge. But if your printer only takes 8.5x11 and has a 1/4 inch no-print zone, you cannot get ink into that zone. Period. [/QUOTE]
