    ref: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...-margins/10ac24ae-3a51-4dbe-9720-0a89793a04e0

    and: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Setup-Software-Drivers/Margins/m-p/7824200

    Because I was receiving no replies to my MS post, 'ref:' above, I began wondering if my margin problem was a printer issue instead. With that in mind, I posted in the HP Forum, 'and:' above. In just a couple short hours HP's Dragon-Fur led me to the solution I had spent months looking for. In case someone else out there is having a Margins issue with Paint as I was, feel free to follow the 'and:' link above to HP Dragon-Fur's solution. Thanks, K.

    MS Paint - Margins?

    Windows 10, Microsoft Paint, not Paint 3D or Paint net. Lately some of my MS Paint projects come closer to filling the page then ever before. Because of that I have noticed that what appears on my screen is different then what appears on my page. No matter
    how closely I set an object or copy to an edge of the page on-screen, when printed out, the object or copy I had set 1 ruler mark from the edge of the page is now 1/2" away from the edge of the page. It's as if there is a 1/2" margin on all 4 sides. Trying
    different things, I discovered Image Properties was set to 2200 to 1800 pixels. Thinking this was going to be the fix I wanted, I changed to 3300 x 2550. Opening an image I had created earlier, that image appeared something like 25% smaller than what I had
    created. I expanded everything back to the size I wanted. Now when printed out, there is still a 1/2" margin on all 4 sides. It's not that I wish to place part of my project on the edge of the page, it's that sometimes being able to crowd into that 1/2" blank
    space would be a big help. Is MS Paint designed with a 1/2" margin on all sides? Is there a way to change the margins? Is this a function of my printer instead? What am I doing wrong? All suggestions, ideas, comments any wish to offer will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, K.
