How do I remove an iPhoto border before printing?

I'm using iPhoto 11, version 9.3.1. I was getting ready to print a photo, but decided to click on "Customize. . ." in the Print window just to see how the different borders would look around my photo. I didn't like any of the borders, but I couldn't find a way to get rid of any of the borders that I had added to my photo. Even when I canceled Print and then started from the beginning and selected the photo again and clicked on Print, the photo in the Print window didn't show up borderless, but had the last border I had selected in Print before cancelling. How do I remove the added border so I can print my photo borderless. Thanks.

MacBook Pro (15-inch 2.4/2.2 GHz), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

What are your print settings?

You should be able to print borderless, if you select the "Standard" theme for your "Print" project and make sure that the paper size and print size do match, like this: If the print size is smaller than the paper size, there will always be a border, at least a small white border.

In Paper Size select a size that your printer supports as borderless, 4X6, 8X10, etc. (in the US). Then under Print Size select borderless as Léonie shows in his screenshot.

Thanks to you both. I will try your instructions in a few days after the storm passes when I am online on my Mac again.
