I want to set up on my web site a poster print out. Meaning if someone wants to print off one of my poster they can click and it would print out. What would be the best format to set the poster up as. jpg gif bmp pdf or is there a better way around this.

Have Javascript open a window formated to the proper resolution with a image likewise maximixing that resolution. So have a link to a window for 800x600 and one for 1024x768, each with an image maximized for those resolutions. Use minimal JPG compression. Avoid a PDF as its completely unnecessary or a bitmap, as its unnecessarily large. You might consider a PNG, but I would use a JPG.
There's a javascript command for printing. I would recommend you let the user view the image at its full size before printing. This line, for example, will print the target image. (Pretend there are brackets around the HTML):
A HREF="javascript:window.print()" IMG SRC="print_image.gif" BORDER="0" /A

I'm not sure what you mean when you say, have Javascript open a window formated to the proper resolution. Sorry I'm a bit thick sometimes.

It depends on how many images you have. Basically I meant something like this example script, except the new window displays the image at full size. Then clicking on that full size image prints the image with a command like:
A HREF="javascript:window.print()" IMG SRC="FULL_SIZE_IMAGE>JPG" BORDER="0" /A
