If you "Make Plain Text" from the Format menu, then TextEdit will make
a simple .txt file, and that has no provisions for page margins (which is what
I assume you are referring to). When you print from any application, TextEdit
included, then the printing system will give you margins when printing because
many printers can't go edge-to-edge, and 99% of the time people want/expect
margins on their printouts.
For printers that support edge-to-edge you can typically set the
margins to 0 to get that behavior, but that can be a bit difficult to get
right, especially if you are using Adobe products, since they feel that they
need to override the system-level printing setups[1].
[1] Epson has a similar take on things, and printing from Adobe products to
Epson products can sometimes be a huge fight... I usually switch to the
GimpPrint drivers to work around this.
