sure the size corresponds to the media size on which you are printing the image.
You can also gain access to this feature from the Printing Shortcuts tab. Open

Hello Sgaetjens,

The tear drop shape LED is called the print catridge LED indicator. If you do see this light flashing it means that there is an issue with one or both of the cartridges. This issue can occur for the following reasons:

• One or both cartridges might be incompatible with the product.
• One or both cartridges might be improperly inserted.
• The borderless printing settings require adjustments.

For the first,two I suggest that you verify that it is indeed HP original cartridge and not just replacement ones that you can purchase anywhere. Remove and reseat the ink cartridges carefully. With regards to borderless printing, go to Control Panel and then Printers and open up your HP Printer and then check the properties and defaults. Normally it is under Printing Shortcuts where you could find Borderless Printing.

Preserve your memories forever with borderless printed photographs--while saving money and time by printing from the comfort of your own home. Some printers do not have the option of printing borderless prints, so make sure your printer supports borderless printing before beginning this project.

Download your digital photo to your computer from a digital camera, email or the Internet. Save the photo to your hard drive to a folder that you can find later such as "Pictures."

Step 2Open your digital photo in a photo-viewing software. Click "Print" from your menu. Go to your printer properties to change your printer's "Page Setup." Access "Properties" through the "Preferences" or "Options" link in your "Print" dialog box. Many software programs have a default margin or border for photos; to print borderless photos, you'll have to remove the default margin.

Open printers window, right click on the psc printer icon , select printing preferences, click on paper\quality tab, select the paper size as 5x7, check the option as borderless printing and click on apply and then oK...
Try to print ,,,

I determined that if you set the paper type to
" Borderless A4" (in printer properties/preferences- just tick the "borderless" box) then all works OK.

Most pix you shoot are not exactly 4x6 which will leave white edges top and bottom- Sides Try using the HP software- see if any difference Inkypete

I had the same question. I found the answer at Canon's site but I can't link directly to the page so here's how I found the solution...
1. Go to the Canon Support site. 2. In the "Please enter your question field" type: How do I Print edge to edge? 3. Hit the "Search" button. 4. Click the #1 (top) search result "How do I Print edge to edge?" 5. Click the #1 (top) solution: "Use Borderless Printing (Mac OS X) MP600 6. Follow the directions.
It seems the main thing you need to do is go to the "Page Setup" dialog. Then make sure you've chosen the MP600 in the "Format for:" popup menu. Finally, in the "Paper Size:" popup, select "A4" then "A4 (borderless). It's a hierarchical menu.
FWIW I still haven't gotten a "perfect" borderless print. Seems you gotta get the paper in there exactly straight...
