HPLIP

full bleed printing not working on Smart Tank 7305

Asked by Julia Huppertz

I purchased a HP Smart Tank 7305. Using Windows 10 I can print A4 border-less, but using Linux I don't have an option for border-less A4 printing. It would be nice, if I could use all the hardware features of my new printer.

Even for the B5 Borderless format, being supported in hplip. the width of the printed area is only 170 mm instead of 176mm. The missing 6mm are cutoff at the right side of the of the printout. At top and bottom 3mm are missing.
It is a bit asymmetrical:

             3mm

0mm 6mm

             3mm

Using the B5 format or any other non full-blead format cuts about 3mm from the edges, but it is centered at the page.

Before I owned an Officejet 7612 and Officejet 6500, both of them could print A4 border-less (full bleed) using HPLIP out of the box.

Software:
Suse Tumbleweed rolling release,
HPLIP 3.22.10

We could try a different approach from HPLIP. Give outputs
from

  avahi-browse -rt _ipp._tcp
  avahi-browse -rt _uscan._tcp
  driverless

If you are on USB, ipp-usb will be needed.

The printer is connected via WIFI. Here is the output you requested.

The output for driverless is the URI for the printer. Substitute it
in

 lpadmin -p 7300 -v "URI" -E -m everywhere

and execute the command. There is ow a new print queue, 7300.
How do you go on now?

The driverless print queue works.
But the printout still had some white margins, so I increased the width of the page to 612 points, kept the height and the white border has gone. My border-less A4 page is now [612 841.889763779528] 215.9mm x 297mm. I use the same definition for PageSize, PageRegion, ImageableArea and PaperDimension.

Thank you, Brian!
