First off, I would print from my computer, you get way more options. Second, when printing I would go to the options, there should be a place where you can set an option to "scale to fit" this will shrink the picture down so it will fit on the whole page. I would get 8x10 photo paper if you were serious and do the same things as described above. Make sure you say "print borderless" or something like that. Otherwise you will have a white border. Note, if you print "scale to fit page" it might leave some of the page blank if it doesn't fit perfectly. For example if the picture is really wide, it will leave room on the 8.5" side, because it will have to make it small enough for the edges to fit. You can crop some of the picture first and try again and it will fit better. I hope that helps, the biggest thing is doing this on the computer, and running test runs (econofast settings).

I was going to go with an 8x10, but every store I went to only carried 8.5x11 paper. I tried searching the program that came with my printer (HP) but didn't see any options, and came across the options on the printer itself. I do border-less, etc. I'll see if I can find something in a program.

Edit: I found a program to download, HP Photosmart Essentials I believe it's called. Got it to print like I want it now. Just wish the copyright wasn't at the bottom. It's funny, the ink cartridge I had in there, was running out. so it printed the right side of his face with redish tint. Makes the picture look kind of cool though :)
