Oh my f****ng god. There's a "page setup" tab where you can set a scaling for the page that can be both below and above 100%, but then when you go to the image settings which is where you see the preview, the preview does not take into account the page scale, so what you see is not even close to what you are going to print (unless page scale is 100%). So you can print with increased size but you have to become insane calculating what the hell the result will be (basically by printing and error: huge waste of paper. Earth, say thanks to Ubuntu).

The maximum is always 100%. Why? That's stupid. For MOST images moreover (any image that was not scanned), there is no sensible notion of a physical size (the dpi resolution is completely arbitrary), so the notion of 100% is totally random. Not being able to increase size to more than 100% is almost as huge as not being able to print. It's among the most nonsense limits I've ever seen. Maybe it's somewhere else, perhaps in "advanced", but it should be possible from this very tab. Wher you can reduce size, you must also be able to increase it.
