What printer model? Are you sure that your printer can cope with borderless printing? It may also depend on the underlying printer driver. I would expect to see borderless paper sizes (under Page Setup) available to choose from for drivers that supported it.

My Printer Model is HPColor LaserJet CP2025.

Okay, thanks for the additional info. So can you select a borderless paper size before printing?

How can I select it?

In the printer dialogue menu (shown in the image you attached as well), you can select 'Page Setup' > 'Paper size'. If the printer driver allows, there will be borderless sizes available.

Apart from paper size. If the paper size option does not reveal borderless printing check your stock.

I have a canon pro 100 which does wonderful borderless but the driver will notallow printing on borderless if plain paper is selected.

It is a shared printer and not installed directly on my Linux.

Are you the admin for the print server? Companies often set the printer defaults like print only grayscale and no more than 300dpi on office printers, so even though it can perform really well with many situations, the IT department can make those printers become crippled little document only printers to save ink etc.

If you run the print server then as long as the driver is correctly installed and the port you specify is correct then it should work. Check your printer capabilities. Are you sending it post script or images of the documents.

My brother is setup as a shared printer but if anything but brscript3 is used to render documents it looks like a really bad quality fax machine.

The printer series seems to use PCL as the interpreter. PCL3 is supported according to the top 2 links but the printer can handle newer versions. I did not check for updated drivers but it does seem that there are a few known issues in some operating systems using the wrong printer driver.

Can you double check in your cups server on the computeryou are trying to print from and confirm it is using the pcl.ppd?

I think thatmay have better results, maybe not full borderless but you may be able to get close.

Lastly, I have never attempted borderless with a laser but HP customers seem to be saying it is not possible to do it. I am not sure how correct this is because I have never bothered looking if lasers can fo full bleed, but this bunch seem to say impossible.

So in line with what the HP users said on the HP forum, i am inclined to say we cannot really do much and it does appear your printer is correctly installed and working as it should.
