It appears to me that you can't print borderless with QTR--but you certainly can print within the confines of the print area of the paper (I'm also not sure if you can 'minimize margins' with QTR since you don't have access to the driver--or at least I haven't figured that out). If you want to print borderless (because that is what you are basically wanting to do) I would guess that you will have to 'trick' QTR--IOW, go to custom, make your paper size larger than 8.5 x 11 and then choose centered--try that. I prefer a white border around my prints and don't print borderless.(It also makes a mess with your ink surplus after awhile I believe--though I could be wrong--just an assumption since the printer has to go from edge to edge--and there will be some slopover or ink I would think).
Just checked help---select 'placement' and read what it says: "The Placement panel lets you select Centered or specify the placement of the top left corner of the image. You can also use the mouse to drag the image icon into a new position if Centered is not checked. (Note: QuadToneRIP printing models specify minimum margins depending on the printer. QTRgui will reset any margins that are less than the minimum or greater than the maximum allowed margin.) Next to the placement panel is the Scale panel . Checking To Fit will size the image to fit into the printable area of the page. Alternatively, you can also specify a scale factor for the image."
Hope this is helpful.

How or why it does this I have no idea. All I know is that it has happened
to me twice and each time I cropped some white off until the image file was
smaller than the printable area and it worked fine.

You'll have to ask Roy about the "why."

That's what I did.

Don't know.
