I install the "stuff" from the website for

HP Linux Imaging and Printing - Print, Scan and Fax Drivers for Linux - 
hplip-3.16.9.run

I have 2 HP printers - Laserjet 2300 (letter size) and Officejet 7000 
(up to 13x19 inches)

Since this was what HP.com pointed me to (since 2009?) I use that for 
Ubuntu.

One thing I tend to do is using Export to PDF for my poster making on 
11x17 or 13x19 inch borderless printing.  When I test print the 
documents that are not "borderless", I skip the Exporting option.  Right 
now, I do more printing that does not need the borderless printing 
option over the more photo style of printing.

So when I do printing that needs printing into the HP's default minimum 
sheet borders, I have to use the PDF printing, and the borderless sheet 
size.  If I try to print out a borderless sheet with LO (and not PDF 
Reader), there are issues.
