This is not a bad printer - but photos are quite aggressively cropped.

This is not just a case of cropping to fit the aspect ratio of the 100x148mm photo paper. It crops substantial amounts from all four sides of an image.

The preview of the image in the printer dialog is pretty inaccurate. In most cases, it's no more than mildly annoying, but it ruins some where the edges of the photo really matter.

I'm guessing the culprit is printer rather than the driver, because the PDF outout is correct.

Any advice?

From a position of profound ignorance: could this be some sort of clash between 'fill entire page' and the margin settings? (All hidden way
down in sme obscure part of the menus.)

Could some of the software be configured for a different printer with edge-to-edge capability?

Is the PDF being generated for a professionl printing job which requires 'bleed'? (I have had this happen in reverse when generating PDFs from PageMaker - I couldn't work out how to force it to give me the bleed
which the printing works required for their machines.)

it prints whatever you send to it. if the cropping is not what you
want, then change it before printing.

None of those things sadly. It's a small dye-sublimation photo printer, that I use with Photos. It is indeed a printer with edge-to-edge capability. No
margin settings.

I'm not sending PDF to it, the PDF was just to check whether the same cropping occurs on PDF output (it doesn't).

Well, guess what? If I print an image from an SD card, the printer's display shows the same preview as the macOS driver, and *still* crops it on all four edges when printing borderless photos.

So that's pretty annoying, to have a photo printer that chops off an arbitrary and not insignificant amount from every photo it prints.

Is this a new thing with the printer or a new printer?

Really daft suggestion: Is it set to the correct paper size?

it's not daft, and very likely the cause.

Are there any settings on the printer itself related to cropping?

There are, but they only apply to photos printed from an SD card (and in any case, they are all being respected in the preview but not in the prints).

I did discover that the printer has a web interface, and I was hoping to find some low-level settings that controlled this behaviour, but no such luck.

it's in whatever apps you're using to print.

I'm completely amazed to discover you're still here. Do be a good fellow and run off to play somewhere else, so you're not getting in the way all the time.

If all else fails, you could put a border around the picture before
printing it, so that it gets cropped down to the original size.

I may well be reduced to that! It's OK for the occasional photo, but not
really practical for more than that.

it's now very clear that you don't want an answer to your question.

i have an earlier model of the same printer you're asking about.

the apps used to print are in full control over what gets printed and
at what size.

now go run along and troll somewhere else.
