Hi Alan Did you manage the problem with printing a borderless photo? I still fight with the same problem. In my case, the printer is connected to a small NAS with a Debian vserver installed. So it is running as a simple printserver with cups 1.2.7, hpijs and hplip 1.6.10 installed.
I can print photos with a small white border. I can set this before printing from Windowx XP over IPP. But if I set to borderless the printer starts with an awful noise like if the printhead goes to fast into its endpoint. Then it shows me a paperjam errormessage. After all, as you already wrote, it spitts out a clean white photopaper.
