Windows 10: PRINTS TOO LARGE IN PAINT APP

I opened a saved image with Paint and resized it to be larger. I saved the image. But when I try to print it within the Paint app, my image prints out very large. My image in Paint is 3.5" x 3.5". When I print it from within Paint, it prints out at about 7" x 7". How do I get it to print the actual size on my screen? If I open the same image with the Photos app, the image prints at the correct size.
