Thanks for continuing to try. Here are my replies/results:
1. I turned off "fit to page". Unfortunately, that didn't help. In
fact, it continued to print as if I hadn't changed anything. There
are actually two places to make a selection which looks to me to be
"fit to page" (one says "scale" or something like that & the other
"fit to page"). I turned them both on, both off, one on and the
other off and the reverse of the previous selection
2. I am using the "Print" choice from the menu.
3. This printing problem has shown up when I've tried to print from all
of the following:
1. Firefox
2. LibreOffice Spreadsheet
3. LibreOffice Writer
4. GIMP
4. I can't remember ever printing from anything in Linux where I didn't
have this problem. This has been going on for awhile now. I just
never asked for help before.
5. I have this same problem with all my computers that run Linux. I
run various versions of Linux Mint on all of them.
