I want to print some pages from a British magazine I'm subscribed to (Linux Format), but the pages, of course, are size A4, but I'm in the USA and my paper is smaller. It seems to me that there was a "shrink-to-fit" option somewhere (I thought in KPDF), but I can't find it. Your thoughts?

I don't know how to shrink to fit in kpdf but if you happen to have firefox installed you can run "firefox foo.pdf" from the command line and use the firefox print preview shrink to fit capability.

So you mean the PDF is A4 and your printer is set to US Letter? Because I go to settings and set the US Letter as paper size.

When I do that my printer asks me to provide A4 paper.

to the right of the printer is the settings button, then you can set the driver paper size to US Letter what does it do there?
My printer does print to US Letter although document is A4 (tested)

Well, now it printed without complaining about the paper size. I wonder what made it do that before?

Hi Leslie,
but I'm in the USA and my paper is smaller. It seems to me that there was a "shrink-to-fit" option somewhere (I thought in KPDF), but I can't find it. Your thoughts?
Indeed, kpdf offers that possibility. In my setup, this is the fourth button from the left in the toolbar. Fit to page and fit to width a.o.
Regards, Peter.

Would that be "Print preview" (printer with lightning bolt icon)? When I click on it KPDF locks up.

I don't have that icon in the toolbar, only a box with percentages in it and that's what I meant. Load a pdf-document in kpdf and then Settings =>Configure toolbars => Main Toolbar <kpdf part> and then look in available action colum leftside for "Fit....etc". Transfer also Zoom to the right column. Now you have a better toolbar:-)
Regards, Peter.

The zoom option is in Print Preview. Check the Print Preview box in the Print dialog, and it'll take you there when you click Print.
At least, that's as I remember it. I can't confirm it at the moment because for some reason this machine now wants to load Gimp for the print preview. No matter, it's overdue for a reinstall anyway.
