Use Publisher with a photo printer to print borderless documents.?

Question

I bought a photo printer and I want to print postcards 4 to a page. I'm using Publisher 2002 on a Windows XP. I set all the margin settings to zero but it's not printing to the edge. Only the inside margins look right and are borderless. The outside edges are white and cutting off some of the text. I explained to HP what I wanted to do with their 7850 Photosmart and they said it would work. I called their tech support and they are saying it's an issue with the settings in the software. I'm generally an expert. Does anyone know what I should try? Am I doing something that will not work? I need to print them 4 to a page so that I only have to make 2 cuts to cut the photos and so that they look professional borderless like from a printshoop. Help.

I need to use a program that allows for address merging prior to printing the postcards. That's why I'm using publisher. But if there is another program that will work and will do the borderless printing, that would also be helpful to know.

What about Adobe Acrobat - would that do the trick? I can get access to that at work. I'm sure Adobe Acrobat allows for address merging and such right?

Answer 1

Just keep trying.

Microsoft Publisher is not the best thing for doing publishing. It is really for simpler documents. When something does not work, but you like that program, just design something else.

Certainly, you can experiment with other photo programs. Try something simple that has a borderless design. If that works, then make something more complex.
