Gif files just to big

Hello,

I'm sure this is a trivial question, but I am trying to make printouts of some gif images as printed pages. My problem is that the width vs. height dimensions are too large and the images are cropped in the printout as to be useless.

Can someone tell me an easy way, or a needed software tool, to shrink the images? I tried building a simple html document and reducing the dimensions of the images that way, but when I printed the GIF images it printed the same size as was stored in the file.

Any help is appreciated.

Gimp would be great, but on a WinXP machine? Photoshop seems like overkill for one particular task. Can anyone reccomend a more basic tool?
