Worked in FF, Chrome and IE (needed to make a setting change in IE to have it NOT fit the image and print at a specified 100% scale)
All came in at 10".
Safari printed two pages. The one with the line looks like it's being fit to the page (making a version that was twice as long would comfirm this) . I can't find any sort of settings for Printing in Safari though, even tried going directly to the printers, nada.
