Epiphany browser lacks printing option to ignore scaling and shrink to fit page

[Feathertail]

Binary package hint: epiphany-browser

After perhaps a couple dozen sheets of paper (caused by an ever-so-careless blind frenzy of print job queuing), I realized that my pages were not printing the way that they did in Firefox! I know, you'd think it was a different browser or something. Anyway ...

The right-hand side of each document was being cut off, which was not good. I explored the print options for ways to get around this, but there was no landscape mode; only a scaling option with a percentage scale, which did not seem very useful since I didn't know exactly how much I would need to shrink my documents. There also was no option to "ignore scaling and shrink to fit page width," the way that there was in Firefox ... apparently, this option is what allowed those enormous tables to print out properly.

An option like this might be very handy! It might almost make a good default, seeing as how the alternative is wasted paper ... or at least, it was for me. >.>

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. A new version of Epiphany Browser is available in both Lucid and Maverick and we are wondering if this is still reproducible in any of those versions, May you please test and give us of feedback about it? Thanks in advance.
