Have you cropped the picture at 6x4? You didn't say what program you're
printing from, but if you leave it up to the software to crop 6x4 from a
picture that's an entirely different resolution/ratio, it will crop
indiscriminately and leave you with only a portion of the picture. I always
crop to the exact size I plan to print. Leave as little up to the
discretion of the software as possible.

Make sure you are putting the paper in the printer in the "portrait"
position (length wise)

Besides the cropping question which is the most likely answer, are your images
in landscape mode while your printer is set on Portrait? That'll cause
problems also.

Choose 4x6 and put the paper in vertical and then if you want 6x4 print
it in landscape.
