It depends on many paramaters, for example, postcript printer or not 
postscript. In my case, postscript printer, with applications like 
evince, firefox, etc..., printing  works same way with CTRL+P, then 
choose -> page handling -> 'fit to printable area' or 'shrink...' or 
'none...'. I think it is the same for non postscript.
