[Ham-Computers] Re Scan Size Vs Printed Size

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Duane,

There are probably a dozen answers or ways to do it.  But a typical printer 
driver default is Fit To Page.  Which is probably why it filled the sheet.  I 
don't know what type printer or printer driver you are using, and the available 
options may vary depending upon what application you are printing from and 
the source file format.  And if you told me, I likely wouldn't know the details 
to tell you.  But you are going to have to dig or have someone dig through the 
driver and find the settings that will make the driver make the printer print 
one to one or dot for dot or whatever it calls it.
