Default Printer problems for postcards

Windows 11, MS Office 2021.
The printer does not set up correctly for 4x6 postcards, in landscape mode. The HP printer is model Office Jet Pro 9125e.
The margins. Set them to something reasonable and MS word says the margins are outside the printable area. Click the fix button and this is displayed:

I tried to insert images, but can only upload them without inserting in the text.

Those margins are absurd. The entire 4x6 area is printable. All the space on the postcard “CAN” be printed.

Left and right margins add up to 2.83 by 4.48 printable area, 12.6 square inches while the postcard is 4 x 6, 24 square inches. Word declares that only a bit more than half the postcard is printable.

Do the limits come from the printer or from MS Word?

Expand the top margin to 0.5 and print. Below is an image of the postcard.

The top margin was not changed other than to cut off the top section of the text.
So, the most important part of this complaint: I think that reasonable margins are 0.5 inches all around. Is this possible?

My apologies for political content, but I don't want to rewrite everything to ask a question.

Thank you for your time and patience.
