I think printing is pretty confused in the browser - or at least in Firefox - anyway. I got confused just checking my own settings because I expected to see all the different settings in the preview, but there's a layer below that in the print dialogue itself. How they interact is anybody's guess! My solution is to leave the actual print settings on some kind of sane default unless I really want to print four pages per side/sheet, and to try and have things like paper sizes mostly in agreement. I have also in the past printed to PDF to get something that won't be mysteriously rescaled or reformatted and then printed that PDF file.
