What does "size" mean for a printed screenshot? For a 19 inch
screen you'd need awfully big paper to do them at 100%.

Yes, you're right of course. What I really meant here was the equally-undefined "whatever size you usually get if you save a screenshot to the clipboard, paste it into a WYSIWYG document editor, and print the page". Whenever I do that (assuming there's some text on the page too), I nearly always scale the screenshot down to 60-70% of its original size, as it kind of overwhelms the text otherwise.

I think I probably learned this practice from reading William Horton's "Illustrating Computer Documentation" many years ago though, so make of it what you will :)

Cheeri,
