Now, all my printers ignore the page margin settings, always printing in the middle of a 11x8.5 when doing borderless printing. HP even had a statement in the documentation stating, "If you have problem printing from an application with borderless printing, print from one of the HP supplied applictions".

I do not know ow your "borderless printing" is configured, but I suspect
your PS jobs somehow determine the max. area which can be
printed on - much like the CUPS test page does. Note that nearly all
HP printers DO have margins that cannot be printed on
by design or by construction. Perhaps you could post
(an URL to) a sample file.
