If that option does not appear, the cause is usually the paper type, paper size, driver, or the limitations of the specific printer model.<\/p>\n<div class=\"social-share-buttons\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/drivernew.com\/?p=77873\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https:\/\/drivernew.com\/?p=77873&text=How+to+Print+a+Borderless+Photo+in+Windows+11%2C+Windows+10%2C+and+Windows+7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?url=https:\/\/drivernew.com\/?p=77873&title=How+to+Print+a+Borderless+Photo+in+Windows+11%2C+Windows+10%2C+and+Windows+7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https:\/\/drivernew.com\/?p=77873&description=How+to+Print+a+Borderless+Photo+in+Windows+11%2C+Windows+10%2C+and+Windows+7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pinterest<\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If a photo prints with a white border around the edges, you need to enable borderless printing in the printer settings.
