John,

First time writing to a mailing list so I hope I am doing this the right way.

I struggle every time with the same issue and that is how I came
across with your message in the mailing list.

I had some time to spare and worked through the source code in the
file 'ev-print-operation.c'

This workaround seems to work fine with Ubuntu 10.04 and Evince 2.30.3


Edit the 'print-settings' file (~/.gnome2/evince/print-settings)

Under the '[Print Settings]' section add:

evince-print-setting-page-scale=2


0 = "None"

1 = "Shrink to Printable Area"

2 = "Fit to Printable Area"


Hope this helps,

Luis Santillan
