Question about printing (on a Mac) -- photo is stretched a bit horizontally

Hi all,

I'm using a photo printer (Epson XP-620) for the first time, printing to 4x6 paper.

In LR's Photo module, I set Page Setup to "4x6 borderless" (there is also an option labeled "4x6" which I didn't select), and I set Photo Border to 0.

If I print now, about 1/4" of my image's border gets cropped out.

So back in the Print module, I increased Photo Border -- with the intention of finding just where I start to see a tiny bit of the white of the paper, and then set Photo Border to just a bit less than that (with the intention of cropping my photo as little as I can, and without seeing any paper).

I noticed that the image actually gets stretched horizontally some -- I can tell because I see the white of the paper at the top and bottom, and the sides are cropping out more of the image than I would expect.

Is that something I can adjust for? Is that an adjustment I should look to make in LR or Mac or the printer?

Thanks for any suggestions, -Scott
