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.
Correction; it just takes a looong time to load the entire magazine, and there's no feedback while it does so. However, once it's loaded, the Print Preview button gives me the option of shrinking pages by a percentage, but not 'shrink-to-fit'; and it's not clear if that applies to the actual printing, or just to the previewing.

Seems it's only the preview.
I don't have letter, but I tried printing A4 on A5:
Loaded pdf in kpdf -> preview -> 50% Print -> Laserjet 4200 -> A5 -> manual feeder -> print is OK
Loaded pdf in kpdf -> preview -> 100% Print -> Laserjet 4200 -> A5 -> manual feeder -> print is OK
So this setting in preview has no effect on my printer. Printing from kpdf with the correct size _does_ shrink my print correctly. Maybe that's because A5 is exactly half A4? Or Laserjets are superPrinters (they are :)
