I am starting to get discouraged. I tried printing an 8x10 borderless photo an ended up w/a border and a missing arm. What am I doing wrong? If you ask me about calibration my answer is no because I have no idea how to do that.

I'd be more concerned about your missing arm. Right or left?

8X10 size is not compatible with the camera's image size, so it will automatically crop the image and you will loose some parts. You need to go to a custom size in the menu and set the size of the print so you don't loose any of the image. I can't remember what the actual size I use is but try setting it to "size to fit 8.5 X11 paper". Hope this helps

What application are you printing from. You could reduce or crop the image to an 8x10 size. Do a save as and rename so you do not loose the original image

Thank you all for your suggestions. I will try the easiest one first, the custom setting and hopefully no arms, legs, faces will be missing...:)
