Bug Description
1) Have a PCB with two layers: normal features on F.Cu and some text off to one side on (say) Cmts.User (eg attached PCB)
2) Print the PCB at a higher scale (say 5), selecting only F.Cu in the print dialog
3) The output will have the bounding box of the whole PCB, including the comment layer (which isn't shown)
4) This means it is difficult to print just the bit you wanted at a higher scale centred in a page.
I suggest there should be an option to use the bounding box of only the layers selected in the print dialog (rather than the current behaviour of using the bounds of ALL layers, printed or not).
This must be an option, as it's still useful to be able to print different layer stackups with identical alignments.
