I am trying to print a slide with a marble background. No matter how I move
the page setup size, the printer always puts a white border around the slide.
How do I get rid of this?

You probably can't. Most printers have a none print area. Setting all your
margins to zero will usually give you that number.

Michael is right about the printer. However, you can do what most print shops
do to get around this. Just cut on the white border after printing. If you
want the resulting marble area to be a certain size (e.g. A4) then you will
have to set the page to be slightly bigger than you want (in page setup) and
use slightly bigger paper than you want. It's a pain, but for small runs it
does the job. Otherwise a print shop will do this for you for bigger run, at
a cost.
