How to get a Full page print out?

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand that you want to get a full page print out. However, in order to help you in a better way, reply with the details requested below:

• What is the make and model of the printer?
  
• Which application are you using to print?
  
• Which build version of Windows are you using? To check type: winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit Enter.
  

Ideally, we need to make changes to the margin of the page that we need to print, to get a full page print out.



We would suggest you to try changing the margin settings and check if that helps. You can go to the Printing Preferences and look for the Page Layout option, from there you should get the option to change the margins, try setting it to zero and see
the results.



If your printer supports Borderless Printing, then you may want to check the Advanced Printer settings. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows key + R, to open
   Run dialog box.
   
2. Type control printers and click on
   OK.
   
3. Now, right click on the Printer and select
   Printing preferences.
   
4. Click on Advanced and check the option
   Borderless Printing.
   

Let us know the results.

can not print from web page

Hello cyberorphan43,

This could be an issue when the Protected Mode is enabled for the Internet security zone of the web page. To better assist you, kindly provide us these details:

• Have you made any changes on your computer prior to the issue?
• Are you getting any error messages when trying to print?
• Have you tried to use another browser and check if the same issue occurs?

To resolve this issue, we suggest that you try the following methods:

Method 1: Update your drivers to the latest version

Outdated printer drivers can cause problems when printing from Internet Explorer, try updating to the latest driver for your printer. To do so, we suggest that you go to your device manufacturer’s website and check for the
latest drivers for your printer.

Method 2: Try printing a webpage running Internet Explorer as an Administrator

Try printing a web page when running Internet Explorer as an Administrator. This can help determine if there is a permissions issue. Check if you are currently logged on as an administrator, then follow these steps to start
Internet Explorer as an administrator:

• Close all Internet Explorer windows.
• Click Start, click All Programs, right-click Internet Explorer and select Run As Administrator.
• Browse to a website and try test printing a page while running as the Administrator.

Method 3: Try printing after disabling Protected Mode

Try printing a webpage after disabling Protected Mode. To do this, follow these steps:

• Click the Tools icon in Internet Explorer and go to Internet Options.
• Click the Security tab and uncheck the checkbox beside Enable Protected Mode (requires restarting Internet Explorer).
• Click Apply, and then click OK.
• Close all open Internet Explorer windows, and then restart Internet Explorer.
• Browse to a website and try test printing a page while running as the Administrator.

Let us know how it goes.
