ngraham added a comment.
I took the time to read the attached bug report and I take back what I said
in the prior comment. I see now why one would want to manually trigger this
behavior.
This is basically a scaling setting, but we also want it to be really obvious
what each state is for, because it's a somewhat technical feature.
If we use a checkbox, the string I would recommend is "Scale down to fit
within printable area".
Another option is to use a radio button:
Scaling: (o) None
( ) Auto-fit within printable area
A nice side-effect of the radio button approach is that when we add fixed
percentage scaling, it naturally fits in the same group:
Scaling: (o) None
( ) Auto-fit within printable area
( ) Scale to fixed percentage: [100%]
Or even:
Scaling: (o) [100%]
( ) Auto-fit within printable area
A further enhancement would be to automatically select an appropriate option
by default according to the logic I outlined above: if the document actually
does fit within the printable area due to its own margins, or because the
printer supports borderless printing, don't scale it down by default unless the
user deliberately chooses that option.
Does that make sense?
