Export to gerber , use Camtastik to print.  It has great control features 
for printing.   I never use Protel to print anything including the text 
reports.  It has to many driver problems and not good enough control.  Eats 
too many trees

Printing PCB in strict 1:1 scale is not a easy job. Though you could specify
1:1 print scale in Protel, the output may still real 1:1. And even you got a
1:1 output on one printer, you may not get a 1:1 print on aother printer.
The way I did is make a two round print.  Following are the steps:
1) Draw  2 lines on a bland PCB file, one on X , one on Y direction. Suppose
both of their length are 2 inches.
2) Print the PCB with 1:1 scale in Protel print option.
3)Measure the length of lines on the paper output.
4) If the line length of output is not 2 inches, calculate the adjustment
ratio, and enter it into Protel's X scale and Y scale.
5) You could re-do step 2 to 4 to verify it is trule 1:1 on both X, Y
direction.
6) Print the final true 1:1 PCB output.

Hello, everyone,
With your kind help I have completed the PCB of my BGA board. Thank you
very
much.
To check the footprint created by myself before manufacturing, I hope to
print my PCB in scale 1:1. But cannot get the correct result. The size of
output PCB always varies with the paper size I selected. I thought there
must be some option to set but I could not find it. Could you please give
me
advice?
Thank you very much.
Xiangchen
