You can use a variation of the same method that Publisher recommends to create a
"bleed" print. From Publisher's help file:
====
To create a bleed (bleed: The extent to which a picture runs off the printed
page.) for your publication, you need to set it up to print on a
sheet of paper that's larger than the finished publication page. For example, if
you are printing to a desktop printer and your publication page
is a standard letter size, you would print it on tabloid paper. If you are
printing to an imagesetter (imagesetter: A high resolution output device
that prints to paper or film, or directly to a press plate. Publications that
will be commercially printed are usually output from an imagesetter as
the first step toward going to press.), you would print a specialized paper size
such as Letter.Extra. The paper size you select will depend on the
paper sizes your desktop printer or imagesetter accommodates.
Set up the page size and the printer paper size. How?
On the File menu, click Page Setup.
In the Page Setup dialog box, under Publication type, select the layout you
want.
Your selection represents the page size, not the printer paper size.
If you need to change the page size, enter your changes in the Width and Height
boxes.
Click the Printer and Paper tab.
In the Size box, click the printer paper size you will use for printing. Make
sure you select a paper size that is larger than your publication page
size.
Position the object that you want to bleed so that it extends beyond the edges
of the publication page .
You can create a bleed with text, pictures, or any other type of object.
After printing, trim the paper to the size of the publication by using the crop
marks (crop marks: Marks that show where a publication page will be trimmed.
Crop marks show only when the page has been printed to a paper size that is
larger than the page.) as your guides.
====
So, basically, you would change you slide size to be the same as the physical
dimensions of the paper you want to use (e.g. 8.5" by 11")
Then you would print the presentation to your device (choosing a paper size in
the printer properties <not in PowerPoint>) that is larger than the
slide dimensions, such as Tabloid paper).
PowerPoint will print the 8.5" x 11" slide area centered in the printable area
of a tabloid sheet of paper for your device and then you would trim
the excess paper from the tabloid sheet so that you are left with just the 8.5"
x 11" slide (with no white margin). PowerPoint does't provide crop
marks (like Publisher) since it's really a feature for high-end publishing (not
for presentations).
If you actually have a printer device which has no unprintable area for 8.5" by
11" (let me know who make this :->), so that you can print from
edge-to-edge without having to go through the previous workaround, it's much
simpler. You simply change you page size in PowerPoint to the paper size of your
output (e.g. 8.5" x 11") and when you print your slides use the "Scale to fit
paper" option in the Print dialog. ("Scale to fit paper" really means scale
slide proportionally to be centered within the maximum print area for the
printer for the selected paper size).
As usual, course, if you (or anyone else reading this message) feel strongly
that PowerPoint should provide support for some more advanced
printing features (such as bleeds), don't forget to send your feedback to
Microsoft at:
http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp
As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state your
wish but also why it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones that
are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state your case as
clearly and completely as possible.
IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).

Hello,
PowerPoint will not print anything that extends beyond the edge of the
slide area (as defined in Page Setup... dialog). If you have a shape or
object that extends outside of the slide area and would still be in the
printable area of the page for your specific model of printer (as defined
by your printer driver), PowerPoint will not print the portion of the shape
that "bleeds" outside of the slide area.
If it is important to you (or anyone else reading this message) that
PowerPoint provides an option to print items outside the slide area which
are still inside the printable area of the page for your printer, please
send your feedback to Microsoft at:
http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp
