I have heard of a hack for the Apple LaserWriter to get closer to the edge.
You need an A4 tray, and some tape. on the left inside of the paper tray
area of te printer are three feelers that determine the tray type. On the
tray are two pegs. bridge between them with tape. The printer will now think 
that you have an American Letter tray. Then print Letter size on an A4 sheet.
Other than that, don't expect any printer to do this.
