I have a Page, that inludes two images, and few text boxes, solid background color of light gray. Nothing very complicated. Everything looks fine, as I look at the Page on my computer screen. There is no white border. However, when I print a copy of this Page, it has a white 1/16" border, on all 4 sides of paper. I checked Inspector, but do not see anything that would account for this weird white border. Hope you can help.

It is probably your printer that can't print to the edge. You can see the non printable area if you choose Show layout in the View menu. Check if your printer has a borderles pages size option. File > Page setup
Thank you for your reply - really appreciate it.
1. Pages> View> layout> there is no "non printable' area visable. I don't see any white border.
2. Printer > layout >border > none
3. Re-did the background color - as there is no Inspector >graphic option, to simply 'fill' the background, I created an object, and 'filled' it with a light gray. I clicked and dragged the edges of this object, beyond the page size, of my work.
Printed... Still have that weird 1/16th inch border around my Page. Just can't seem to find how to get rid of it.
But thanks so much for your help.
Fruhulda: Still workin' on this. My HP Photosmart Premium C310, has many paper & envelope sizes, with borderless options. I was intending to specify a custom paper size. However, when I use the Printer set up option of "Manage Custom sizes', I can enter in my custom dimensions, but there is no option for 'borderless'. Perhaps, the default, will always have a border, if there is no specific option given. Contrary to many older posts, my newer HP, has lots of 'borderless' size/print options. I think your answer, has led me closer to understanding the issue. Thanks very much.
You want borderless set up a page with zero margins in Print Setup, simple.

1. you would see a grey border at the edge where the printer can't print.
In the page setup you should look att the predefined paper sizes for borderless options. If you have a Photosmart there should be a bordeless option. Might be called something else.
PeterBries: Yes, I know what you mean. Tried that very early on. Regrettably, that didn't work.
But thanks so much for your reply. Really appreciate it.
Fruhulda: nailed it! I used a custom size (defined by me), and of course, there is no borderless option for this custom size. I will need to select from the standard paper sizes, that do indeed, have a borderless option.
This is a huge help, as it would have been embarassing to print/send the file with that border error.
Thank you again.
You are welcome!
