borderless printing: possible?

Hi all,

I have an HP Photosmart 2610 printer, which claims to support borderless 
printing. I should be able to print right to the edge of the paper... 
except I can't.

Does this require ppd tweaks, or other trickery? (I am using the hpijs 
drivers, and I notice that the resulting ppd has:

*HWMargins: 18 36 18 9

i.e., 1/4", 1/2", 1/4", 1/8", which seems to agree with what I see. 
However, changing that to:

*HWMargins: 0 0 0 0

does not seem to fix anything. Perhaps other parameters need to be 
changed as well.

Has anyone else gone down this path before? I am trying to print 4x6" 
photos to 4x6" paper from gthumb (using F7).
