The idea is to keep on the mailing list ;-)

I have the impression that Acrobat Reader (I tested 6.0.0 on Windows
and 7.0.0 on Linux)
just remembers the latest setting of "Page Scaling"
Normally yes.
and ignores the viewer preference (for this particular option).
Normally no: if the printscaling option is set to NONE internally,
Adobe Reader should 'obey' it, BUT: the print scaling option
is rather recent (PDF 1.5? I only have my 1.4 Reference Manual
here, I left my 1.6 Manual at home), so older Readers may ignore it.
Printing
http://itextdocs.lowagie.com/tutorial/objects/bookmarks/NoScaling.pdf
on a sheet of paper with size A4
with (option "No scaling") gives the following results :
* from linux on OKI with PCL5c driver => A6 size in upper left
corner of A4 page
* from linux on OKI with PCL5e driver => A6 size in upper left
corner of A4 page
* from linux on OKI with Postscript driver => A6 size in upper left
corner of A4 page
* from linux on HP OKI with Postscript driver => A6 size in upper left
corner of A4 page
* from Windows on OKI with OKI driver => A6 size centered on A4
page (after canceling error message on printer)
* from Windows on HP with PS driver => A6 size centered on A4 page
I was also suspecting printer drivers but I have the same issue on
Windows and Linux
on two different printers (an OKI C7200 and an HP 4500TN)
If I want to print
http://itextdocs.lowagie.com/tutorial/general/HelloWorld.pdf
and set the Page scaling option to "Fit to page", the preview on the
right shows "Zoom: 91%"
Is this different on your system/printers ?
Not really.
In my case, setting the Page Scaling to 'Fit to printer margins' shows a
zoom of 96%.
As you are talking about "Fit to page", I wonder: what Adobe Reader
version are you using?
