Go to the site select the state you want , the year you want enter the plate number or vanity text. Select make plate then right click on plate picture and save picture to your hard drive.

Load picture into an editing program infranview (free from http://www.infranview.com/ )will work. Resize picture to the right size and print on photo paper.

I usually print the plate on plain paper to make sure it's the right size first.

You might not have to install new software, it should be possible to just change the print size without changing the image size. For example, in MS Paint you can go to "file/print", then go to the printer setup and see if it has an option for scaling the picture. The menu where you do this should be called "page setup", "page layout" or something similar. The options in the menu will depend on the printer software and in my experience, the default settings will most often be "fit to page" or "100%". The print preview should tell you how the preferences are set in your computer. What you need to find is a place where you can set the print size by a percentage, this should allow you to print any picture in any size you prefer. In short: You keep the original picture size, and just adjust the output from the printer.
