Adobe Photoshop/Printing without borders

Question
I am trying to print out a 5'5 by 8'5 cover for a program. The problem is, every time I print whether in adobe photoshop or from adobe Professional I get photo border around my cover. The borders are not in my imagine, I've tried messing around with the printer settings, and my margins, but nothing seems to get rid of it. Please Help!

Answer
Thanks for your question. This issue comes up a lot, and has more to do with the printer than with the software. The first thing to do is make sure your printer can print borderless, that you have the right settings in the print profile to support this, and whether you need any kind of special paper.

Without knowing your specific printer, I can't give you any more details. However, do check Photoshop's print dialogs to make sure you have any appropriate settings, like bleed, printer's marks, etc. turned off or otherwise controlled.

If you have more questions, please post the model of your printer and version of Photoshop, as well as any printer settings you might know about and I'll see what I can do to help.
