I'm one of those people who, when possible, much prefers to read stuff on paper rather than on monitors. This of course means I love to print stuff out. The problem is when I am printing to a Windows-hosted LJet 4 (running Unix Printing Services) fro Opera on my Debian Sarge machine. With the print zoom (not the browser zoom...the zoom set in printing options) set at 100%, most pages end up printing about 25% larger than needed and end up being chopped off at the page's edges. 80% zoom seems to be perfect, and shows in the print preview as just what I want to see in terms of layout, with the content fitting the page quite nicely... But when I actually send the job to the printer, it looks as if the page is getting zoomed twice. The printout fills 80% of the page, as if the image of the page were being zoomed out to 80% (again) before being laid down on the paper. (So for those of you following the math, the actual printed material ends up being 64% of the original size)
Unfortunately I'm having a hard time describing this very well. Hopefully someone will be able to follow my rambling here and maybe either identify that as a bug, or tell me how to go about fixing it..
