Any non-resizing settings I set were undone by windows asking me for the formatting and multiple prints (full size centered, rotated, cropped, business cards, etc).
A PDF with the correct size would eliminated this, and would have saved me from being late to my last class.

The printer was delivered about 20 minutes ago and I was completing the setup when the email notification about this thread arrived.
Anyway, here's my attempts at printing:
1. My first attempt printing I used MS Paint I confirmed the printer driver had no scaling enabled and it was set to 600dpi and not 1200dpi and the resulting print was the board image was broken across about 10 pages of prints.
2. Attempt to print using most other image applications and the Windows Photo Printing Wizard appears which I'm assuming will totally bungle the print job as it always scales the images to specific photo output sizes.
3. If you attempt to copy the GIF to Word the image is much too large to fit onto a single piece of paper, the print preview looks similar (though more of the image is visible on each page) to the multi-page output I received in my first try above.
Seriously, printing a silly GIF is making me feel like a complete computer novice here. This is definitely much, much harder than it should be. I think at this point I've spent about 12 hours researching, building a price list, printing, pulling out hair, etc. and have nothing but some incorrectly sized prints to show for it.
If someone has genuinely printed this board successfully please provide step-by-step instructions so the rest of us can do the same.
