Im not a designer or developer...but for a children's website with
paper doll images, we want to have a printables page - but realize it
is impossible to guarantee printed image size due to variations
(resolution of printer setting, screen, etc.).

We do not want to do it as pdf, which would allow control of image
size, because we want a doll's name to merge onto the printable page
adjacent to doll, and to do this with pdf would require dynamic merge
generation software....plenty available, but we want to avoid
complexity and forcing a child to download first.

So question is, is there some way to "somewhat" control the printed
image size (meaning the html page size with the doll image on it)
across various viewers browser types (I've seen mention of CSS
elsewhere- useful)

Need not be exact...we want it to print somewhere between "1.5 inches x
4" to "2.5 x 7" ish...

Aside from extensive instructions on page as to how to set printer,
res. etc, any suggestions? Thanks.
