The tiny size come from the fact that you page has an horizontal scroolbar.
Konqui wants to print all the page so it reduces the size.

You can try to solve the problem by changing your CSS :
#photo
{
	visibility: visible;
	position: absolute;
	top: 0px;
	left: 0px;
	width: 159px;  /* Instead of 1565.55px ;-) */
}

I haven't test what I say but it will work.
