I recieve construction drawings as pdf"s. These are ARCH D = 24x36 or
ANSI D = 22x34. I view them in kpdf, I print them to my printer using
Tabloid, paper size = 11x17.
Only an 8x11 image gets printed on the 11x17 page.. Can not figure out
how to get the correct size image, seems like shrink to fit, or some
such were options. Do not see any such in the kpdf print dialog.
Using krinter to print the same file it prints an 11x17 portion of the
larger file size.
kpdf has a different print dialog than kprinter...?,

Not a fix but have you tried using Adobe's Linux version of Reader? It is an
olderversion but still seems to work in most distributions it may do what you need.

Yes I agree that most of the world is metric, though paper sizes have
been standardised for a good number of years. The USA does seem to
have some odd sizes compared to Europe and 17x11 inches is not one that
I am familiar with, though turning the page through 90 degrees would
correspond to the descriptions I gave.
I think I will keep you guessing a little longer. :-) :-) :-)

correct.
Testing other document viewer apps :
evince v.3.4.0-3.1 prints correctly in Debian Wheezy, TDE 3.5.13.2. The
main difference is the print dialog box has a 'page handling' tab which
contains 3 options, which are lacking in all other print dialog boxes I
tested.
1. Page scaling: none;fit to printable area: shrink to printable area.
2.auto rotate and center
3 select page size using document paper size.
Okular in Jessie, KDE 4.11.x does not work for me, kpdf does not work in
Squeeze either. I know the driver has the capability , I have an HP8600
Officejet Pro, HP supplies good drivers, afaikt.
Not a good sign that evince works for me in Wheezy but does not work in
Jessie v 3.12.0-1..better stay with Wheezy

You don't say if you went to cups to set up your printer. For my HP CP1215 I
