Size Matters

Haven't been getting much response from any other forums on this subject so I'll try this one. I have a Canon Pixma ip2000 usb printer and I know this particular printer isn't supported by linux just yet, but I did find a driver that works with it. The driver is presently designed for the BJC-4100 and BJC-600 series canon printers work with the pixma printer I have. The thing is that when I print it prints at less than half scale. A page showing as being regular size on on computer screen, is printed small enough to fit on a corner of a regular sized paper measuring around 6 x 6 or so. How can I get it to print at 100%?

If it is printing postscript it might be possible to rescale BEFORE printing? It will depend on what ways the printer actually prints and it might be a simple header at the start of the file for instance...

if you can print to file instead of to the printer then see if you can open the file in a editor or hexeditor it might haver a couple of values that define the scaling?
