It depends how much edge to edge you want, its a direct to card printer and will not print all the way to the edge 100%. you can get it close by adjusting the horizonal settings, but to get true edge to edge you need the HDP printers.

SOURCE: Fargo Pro-L Not Printing Edge-To-Edge

These direct-to-card printers do not print right to the edge because of the way the print head comes down on the card. There will always be a white boarder on the card especially if your graphics are dense. The only solution to this issue is to re-design your artwork so that the image fades at the edges of the card so the white boarder is not obvious, or purchase a re-transfer printer which will give you true over the edge printing.

How do I print edge to edge on Fargo HDP5000?

Access the printer-driver settings (Windows=>Devices and Printers=>Right-click on device, select "Printing Preferences"). Next, click the "Image Transfer" tab. Here you can make some adjustments to the image position - both vertically and horizontally.

If this doesn't help, double-check your page-size and print-parameters in your software. You should be outputting to a "CR80" sized card, and (if present) your margin settings should be 0 for all of top, bottom, left, and right.

If that doesn't help, then you may have to perform ribbon and/or film calibrations. These are available through the "Self Test" menus within the Printer Information screen of the (free) Fargo Workbench Utility program.

How to do borderless printing on HP laserjet 1022n?

the hp 1022 is not capable of printing edge to edge for that matter very very VERY few can. the problem is that the printer needs to be able to move the paper through the machine without distorting the printed image and this requires a LEAD EDGE usually about 3-5mm edge to edge down the long side of the paper the printer is able to get quite close to edge at 2-3mm either side but NOT EDGE to EDGE the only real way of accomplishing true edge to edge is to overprint and trim the final page to size.e.g. print on A3 and cut to A4

Will it print from edge to edge on the paper?

Most will not, at least not with the drivers that the manufacturers give you.The only time I have had a printer print edge to edge is when I got my Windows Mobile 6 phone to print via bluetooth to an HP printer that came with a bluetooth dongle. I could not get that same printer to print edge to edge when printing from a computer, no matter what I did.
Here is some more advice regarding HP printers (since you didn't specify which printer make or model, and HP is the most popular): 
from: How to Print to the Edge With an HP Printer ' eHow.com http://www.ehow.com/how_5817661_print-edge-hp-printer.html#ixzz1JuTJG38a
"Not all HP Printers will do borderless printing. If you don't see the borderless paper option, your printer does not support borderless printing.)"

RIBBON BREAKE

Several things can cause a ribbon to break. Let's start with the simplest - cleaning. Use your cleaning kit to clean the rollers and print head. If the rollers are dirty, cards can slip and cause ribbons to break. Another is the TOF setting. If the print image is too close to the front edge, the ribbon will break.

Check these 2 things and see if this helps!

Edge to edge print problem

The Fargo DTC550 will not be able to print an "over the edge" card. Any Direct To Card printers will have a white line on the edges. There are several printers that are able to print covering the entire card, those printers are called Reverse Transfer or Fargo's High Definition Printers. One printer that I do recommend is the Fargo HDP5000, you can read more about it at: http://printers.idcardgroup.com/productdetails.aspx?item=hdp5000

Print quality with Fargo DTC500 printer

You might go to the print driver settings to change the way the printer prints the card. This can be found in the printing preferences. Go to the device options tab and choose "rotate front 180 degrees". Then print a card. This may fix the problem.

If not, try downloading the latest print driver from www.fargo.com.

Breaking Ribbon

Ribbon breaking continuously is caused by 2 common problems. 1. The printhead is going down before OR after the card has passed through. You would know this when you open your cover, and unlock you printhead, is the break before or after the card? Try printing the test page from the driver. That doesn't print "Edge to Edge" so if this is the problem, it should not break. 2. The print head heat settings are too high. If this is so, you can change this on the printers menu panel. I can explain more information, once I know your problem.
