Print Preview also shows the scale setting is ignored.

Actual Results:

save file as html only and insert after <head>
  <base href=http://www.rsbac.org/"/>

This local file behaves same way as the file from the server.
now change the print style sheet into a comment, and the bug is gone:
    <!--link rel="stylesheet" media="print" type="text/css" href="/print.css" /-->

Did you change the scale on Windows native printer dialog?

I'm only testing Print Preview, same way as in comment 1, same result.
Removing print.css (making comment) lets Print Preview scale down.

Another observation, don't know if new:
If I change the scale, the vertical scrollbar is lost, and I can't scroll.
I also couldn't scroll using cursor keys, but I can't reproduce, can scroll now.

O.K. I can understand. This is dup of bug 205001.
