Thanks for the quick answers. I am indeed in the PDF camp, and printing 
through a PDF reader seems a very reasonable idea.

I use Acrobat Reader 8 under Kubunty Gutsy Linux distribution, and having just 
checked the printing options I don't seem to find anything that is close to 
scaling.

There is an information under the preview:
Units: inches    Zoom: 94%

The properties of my printer (XEROX DocuPrint N17) are rather few but there is 
a printer command line incorporated:
/usr/bin/lpr -P XEROX -o Resolution=default -o PageSize=A4 -o Duplex=None

It states to read the CUPS manual for details, is there a quick option to 
scale the document to 110% for example?


KPDF is another PDF reader that does provide more printing options, with 
access to System options (including CUPS server) but I am unable to find any 
scale command either :(


Cheers,
Adrian
