I don't have photoshop, so I can't tell you how to use it.  If someone else doesn't provide an answer, we can discuss using a freeware photo editor for this.  Or, if you want to go ahead and try a freeware program now, reply here and we'll proceed.

Probably depends on your version of Photoshop.  In CS5 - Go to File-->Print.  In the Print dialogue box, tick the "Scale to fit media" box.  That should be all you need to do.  Click Print.

Alternatively, load up Irfanview - Irfanview can easily resize to print, again via the print dialogue box.
Only able to visit the forums sporadically, sorry.

You can also use File>Save for Web & Devices and type in the size you want on the bottom right of the dialog that pops up.
