The manufacturer of your printer should have free software on their website
for their printers to do this. I have a Canon which has a free package, but
it only works with Canon printers, and I must say works well. Most graphic
programs will try to shorten or widen if you use the fit to page option. If
you set your camera to a wider image you may get better results, or try a
little cropping. You may loose a small section from the top or bottom, but
it will still be full aspect ratio and the main object of the photo will
still be in full.
Good Luck
