Bug Description
To reproduce:
1. Open Inkscape.
2. Draw a rectangle 170mm x 230mm.
3. Print it.
Expected result:
The printed rectangle on paper should measure 170mm x 230mm.
Actual result:
The rectangle measures 168mm x 226mm, a difference of approximately 2%.
I print a lot of labels. I make them in both LibreOffice (for mail merge) and Inkscape (when I want them all the same).
I use standard downloaded templates in LibreOffice and in Inkscape I have made my own manually.
I recently upgraded to 22.04 and now whenever I print any of my existing documents they no longer line up with the labels. They line up in the top left of the page but at the bottom right they are misaligned, shifted up and left. This happens because the entire page is now printed 2% smaller.
Nothing else has changed about my setup: it is the same printer and the same documents printing differently. The printer is a network printer.

In order to work around this I first printed my labels to a PDF file in LibreOffice, then printed that file with 101.5% scaling.
I had to do it this way because LibreOffice does not use the standard printer dialog - the scaling option is not shown.
