I am trying to print a picture for a keyring fob but the sizes are not
correct, this is what I am doing.....

I have edited the picture on photoshop to 3.2 x 8.0 cm
I then place the pic in excel (tried word as well) as I want a few and the
grid is usful, the size when placed in excel is still 3.2 x 8.0 cm
I then print at 100% and the printed size is 3.0 x 7.8 cm using an HP 1317
printer

Help its driving me mad trying to get the correct size
 
Check to make sure there aren't some preferences set in the software you
are using that are using a standardized dpi, (many try to default to 300
dpi, for instance, since laser printers like that) or a "fit to paper
size" print option or some other factor like that which may alter the
translation. Neither Excel or Word are really image programs, so they
sometimes try to simplify the process and confound it.
