Does anybody know the best printing format for PS2 Box art? I want to print out final fantasy X and it's either too big/small. Can I have some help please?

Outside of print quality settings which don't affect the image size, the only setting I ever change is the size of the paper (chaning from letter to legal).  If I forget to change the setting to legal (even if legal is put into the printer) it will print too small.  It might seem obvious, but I would double check that setting.  Otherwise, 99% of the covers I've printed from here were already setup to the proper print sizes to print out correctly.
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

And check you don't have fit to page/scale to media or similar checked.

I print from Paint.

All our covers are (or should be) print ready meaning that if you have paper in your printer you can print them as is.

So make you have centering on on both horizontal and vertical, scaling set to 100%, fit to page off, margins set to minimum and paper set to landscape.

Then just hit print.

Depends on your printer.  Try zero, it should complain and tell you the minimum if it doesn't support borderless printing.
