Hi al, welcome to PSE&M!
It would be helpful to have more details but . . . I will go out on a limb here.
I am assuming you created the oval shape using the appropriate tool. Do you have this shape on its own layer? If so, it will be on a transparent background. Delete the original background layer or hide it. Save your picture in a format which will preserve background transparency such as PSD, PNG. Now, when you print, all you will get is an oval-shaped picture.

Um, I'm not sure how that would work if you're deleting the background layer (actual picture)?

The oval selection will be on its own layer on a transparent background, or I should say, surrounded by a transparent background. Deleting or hiding the original background layer (the actual picture) will have no effect on the oval shape layer.

Ah. When you wrote the oval shape I didn't realize you were talking about an oval selection of the background photo.
