No, that's the idea of Viewer Preferences.

Yep, that's what the PrintScaling option is about.

I get a lot of mail. I don't always read them as thoroughly as I should.

I don't think I understand.
If a page is A4 and your printer prints on A4 paper,
the printer isn't supposed to do any scaling,
Of course you are dependent on your printer driver.
That driver can be the cause of your problem.

Paulo, Leonard, do you know if setting a cropbox,
trimbox, bleedbox,... could solve this kind of problem?
