They should be 1/2" tall. They're sized to scale well on printers with
resolution multiples of 360 dpi, which would be all epson inkjets. The images
are 213x180 pixels.
Web browsers won't give you control over scaling, so you'll likely have better
luck printing from a graphics program.

My computer shows that the resolution of the images are 213x180 pixels, but
they still print huge for me, at about 2 inches by 2 inches. Would the
resolution I'm running my computer at have anything to do with that? Or my
printer, I couldn't find anywhere to change the resolution of my printer,
which is a HP Deskjet.

I think your browser is trying to print the image the same size it appears on
screen, and it's assuming your screen is 72 or 100 dpi. The images were
designed to print at 360 dpi, so your browser will print them 4-5 times too
large.
If you have a graphics program of some sort I'd recommend saving the image and
printing through your graphics program.

I did have the image in a graphics program, that's how I found out the
images were 213x180 pixels, but the images still printed out too big.
