If it will never appear on the net, letting
the browser resize is not quite so bad, but I
still would not do it unless you are also
sure that everyone you distribute the CDs to
also have a browser that resizes images in a
way that looks good and that maintains the
aspect ratio.

I would make a set of images reduced to the
same width and have a printing link to the
full sized image. Your pages will fail
validation without a width and height set.

Not unless they allow their browser windows
to be maximized. Are you playing around with
jscript to maximize their windows without
their permission? That would be a bad idea.
They might have different ideas about how
large their browser windows should be.
Better to make reduced images that are small
enough to display in even a reasonably small
browser window.
