This may sound like an incredibly stupid question but I would like to know why printers or the printer software limits how much of a page can be printed on. I have a brochure I'm working on and no matter what I do I can't go any closer to the outside edge than a quarter of an inch. Does anyone know why this is or what can be done to print further out?

Each printer has its own limitations.
Go to Programs>Accesories WordPad.
On the File meu choose Page setup and change to margins to 0 all around. Click OK and then go back to Page setup. You will see the minimum for your default printer. if you'retrying to use "bleeding:" with a brousure, you could put it, say, in the middle of a larger page and then trim the results.

Reset your word document border properties

If you are printing from a word document for example you could try:
File/print and when the dialog box offering a printer to from appears click the options tab in the bottom left hand corner of this box.
Then from the options deselect the use printer settings.
Hope this helps
