You need to resize your images in a graphics editor to the proper size
you actually want displayed, instead of relying on the browser to resize
them for you.

It is not a good thing to *resize* your images by just marking it up to
the width and height that you want. This strains the browser, and also
causes a longer download time for your viewers. Resize them in a
graphics editor, and not only should that fix your print problem, but
also will make your web page more pleasing, by opening up much faster.
