I was wondering, if anyone could tell me, if there is a way, to print a
picture, to fit the whole sheet of paper, without having the white margins
showing.
I have tried to eliminate the margins, in print properties, but after I
remove one, and attempt to remove the other, the one i first removed, resets.
I was wondering, if there was some kind of setting, that needs set, for a
full page print, with out margins.

Please let me know, I'd appreciate all help.
Thank you.

All consumer-level printers have an unprintable margin. You can't do what
you want to do without a commercial-grade printer, and even then they have
margins, they just use larger paper and cut the margins off. Can't do that
with most consumer printers. The margins are dictated by the way the rollers
are set up. The rollers need to grip the paper top and bottom, and you can't
have it printing where the rollers grip the paper.

My Canon Pixma prints on 6x4 cards without any border, exactly the same as a
commercial photo print shop. I haven't tried it with larger sheets. I think
the answer to OP's question is "it depends on the printer".

Selecting a smaller paper size might allow the printer to print
'borderless', although if that was an option I guess OP would have already
considered simply trimming the paper after printing.

If the user has a borderless printer, I have found the best way to print
borderless is to use the software that comes with the printer.

Yeah, I totally spaced on the newer printers that are intended for the
photo-printing market. (And yes, I suppose they aren't so new anymore. I'm
falling behind on a lot of things lately, <s>.)
