This bug is not Evolution's, as far as I can tell, but a bug of the Gnome printing subsystem. In fact, I was doing some checking before I filed a bug for Evince, which is where it bit me. It might have to do with the postscript generation, because print-to-PDF does not scale the output file at all.

So, as reported above, it is inconvenient because you cannot see the effect of zoom until you print to dead-tree.

And if you print to file and select PDF output, there is no scaling in the output file, which makes scaling totally useless in this case.

Oh, and even when printing to dead tree, in case of enlargement, there is no option to select the cropping, which makes it also very useless (but I'd say this is a different bug).

Whoever has the power to do it, please attribute this but to wherever it belongs in the gnome printing subsystem. I have set the "also affects" to gnome print; however, on doing it I got the surprising information that there is nobody upstream or downstream to take care of bugs in gnome print, which must be an error.
