Good reccomendation Vladimir, I've moved this discussion into the community.

Your print manager probably thinks there are keep out margins on your printer.

Typically, if you print to exact scales, you should get what you want.

I am assuming here that the drawing border goes right up to the edge of the paper size(?)

I do not use the print mamager and print to PDF using the Save-As Export functionality.

There are no scale options using this method. I can let the windows manager deal with Adobe instead.

one question that could be posed, however; does a scaled print through the print manager also scale the line weights?
