If you are running Windows XP there is no need to install additional software... You can print the cover the correct size from the "preview" menu.
Go to windows explorer:
Find the cover you want to print: (whatever folder you saved it to)
Right click on the cover and select preview.
Press the printer icon at the bottom of that window.
Go to "printing preferences" then go to the "layout" tab.
Under the area that says "Printable area" select "maximum"
Chose OK to close that window, then click next.
Choose "Full Cover Fax Sheet"
Then Print.......
As long as the cover is rotated to the vertical position, it will print to the perfect size.
If the cover is still horizontal, just use some type of paint program and rotate it around.
