I don't know about yours, as it may be a driver issue, but the print
dialog screen that comes up when you ask it to print has a "zoom" control.
That has several options including scaling one or more pages to fit the
paper. You also get to choose the paper size at that point. If I were to
chose letter size paper and scale to fit, it should do exactly what you are
seeing. Is that it? Does that help?
