I am trying to print edge to edge on 8 1/2 x 11 paper running OS X (10.4.3) on a G5 Powermac dual processor. I can't seem to get full borderless printing using Photoshop CS2 or iPhoto. I set the paper size to "Letter" which I think is the same as 8 1/2 x 11. I am sure there is a step I am leaving out. I can print borderless 4x6 without problems.
Thanks
Jonathan

I just got this printer, have the exact same setup, and am working on this same issue. What I'm about to try is a new theory. OS X defines 8.5 x 11 paper with built in margins, you'll see that in page set-up so I'm thinking if I make a new paper size and leave the margins out i'll be all set...

I'll post a result in a few minutes!

You need to select a paper size of "Letter (borderless)" if you want to print edge to edge on an 8.5 x 11 paper. In the printer properties page, you can specify the amount of edge overlap the use. Be default, it is set to the 2nd notch from the left. I set mine to the 1st notch. If you set it to zero, no overlapping is done but you risk the possibility of some white showing along the edges.
