Printing: override default "shrink-to-fit" with "100%"?

Hello,

I am having a problem with the default "shrink-to-fit" functionality on our website.
Is there a way to control this behaviour from javascript I would like to be able to set it to 100% in onload() event so that the users do not have to "fiddle" with print preview.

Regards

    I too am having issues here. I have a CSS sheet designed for proper printing, it looks great in IE, however that "shrink to fit" thing is a pain.

    I am having the same problem, Shrink to Fit is a great way to print but having it on by default sucks.
    On my website I have product tags that I print and put on our showroom floor, having the select 100% is not a easy task when you have 200+ pages to print.
    I made my website work perfectly in IE6.
    Microsoft needs to make a fix for this or something.
    IT SHOULD BE OPTIONAL TO SHRINK TO FIT BY DEFAULT!

    This is a big problem for my organisation as well since we get a fair bit of HTML e-mails and it's a pain having to save the e-mail, do a print preview, adjust the size and then print the message.

    Arrrrgh!!!!!

    There's a KB on it (932538) and a hotfix, but it'll cost $$$.

    There's also instructions to change a reg key that I can't seem to find: FEATURE_STF_SCALE_MIN.

    If anyone can locate the key for me, that'd be great.

    I'm running on IE& (obviously), Outlook '03 and XP2 Pro.

    Thanks.

    Kind regards,

    Ka Kwok

    It seems liek a lot of people have this problem for a while but after searching all the internet, I do not see one response from Microsoft! How arrogant is that. They could at least acknowledge the issue and give us an idea of what they will do about this.

    I posted that original articale back in July. It's now October (coming to November).... ummmm.... still nothing

    That sucks.

    Feel sorry for anyone using IBA (or any other web app).

    Shame too. As a feature it has it's uses but it should've been better thought out.

    Microsoft really need to change it's thinking when it comes to their software: new applications are good but the main driver to their success is the foundations that they've alread built. Taking a pick axe to that foundation, even if by accident, is not good thing.

    Anyway, enough of my rant. Where that patch

    Ka.
