In fact one border is only 6 3/8" which is unacceptable for framing. What genius decided that only 4x6 could be printed borderless!

Hmm.. You are welcome?

What to do?

Fix the border as can be done.

Center the image on the paper and allow the required border minimum.

Set each of the borders to the larger border allowed by the printer.

12.7 mm = .5 inches 

Set borders (all sides) to .5 inches.

=================================================================

Programs / Software like  Paint (mspaint) can be used to print photos.  Once the basics are understood, the program is fairly easy to use and will might even work in a user restricted environment.

Example

Print_Photos_Paint_2FD

Dislike using Paint ?
