 I have a collection of flags I want to use for miniatures. All are 250x150 pixels in size in JPEG files. How could I make sure that they print out to, say, 10x6 mm in size on each side?

 I for one haven't any experience printing flags, but maybe I could help out some. What program are you using to print your image?

If you know what the image dimensions are, and you know what size you want to print just figure out the percentage of difference. Use 100% - percentage= the print size for the image in the software.

 I know the image dimensions in pixels; how do I translate them to millimeters on the paper?

 The way I would find out is to print out the image in it's full size first... save ink if ya want by printing in draft and remove the color from the flag leaving only the outline of the flag... nice and easy, cheap and sleazy! Then with the hard copy you can answer your pixel question,and do the percentage calculation.
