Digital BW, The Print

In Photoshop select the menu item Image:Image Size. Set the document size to
the size you wish. You may or may not want to un-check the "Resample Image"
box. It depends on the resolution of the image. The final resolution should
around  200-300 pixels per inch, but is not too critical.

If you want an easier way to get images the size you want when you print,
check out Qimage from www.ddisoftware.com. It will resize the images to your
desired output size with one of the best resampling methods available.
Easiest way to use Qimage and QTRgui is to have QTRgui monitor a folder and
use the print to file feature of Qimage and print into the monitored folder.
Just remember when doing this that you want the "page" size to be the size
you want the image, not the size of the paper you are printing on.
