Angry dumba$$ question about printing

In this post, thanks to Mikezibit and Frafi there is a file for making the door panels for the Cayman Series cars.

I've downloaded the file but I simply cannot get it to print out in the right size to use as a template. It either prints big enough to almost fill the page or waaay to small grrr!!

I have tried various printing modes and settings. I've told the printer to print at 100% (get the tiny version). Every other setting and I get the big version.

Interestingly, when I look at the file in a graphics program at "original size", i seems to be perfect!

WTF am I doing wrong? Can you offer some advice/help?

I am using a MacBook Pro, OS X 10.6.4 and an HP DeskJet F2200 printer.

TIA

FIXED: put the file into powerpoint and increased size manually to 275%

Panels made. Thanks Mike and Farfi for sharing
