Very wide pages are not printed correctly.

They are neigher printed using very very tiny fonts nor multiple pages are printed.
They are printed using 100% font size and only a small left margin is printed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open URL mentioned above
2. Open linnk "Midrange Graphikkarten"
3. Print table with is something around 6000...8000 display pixel wide.

Actual Results:  
You only get a small region of the page using normal (100%) printing size.

Expected Results:  
- Page size is reduced down to a size of for instance 45%.
- If it is still not possible to print the whole page width,
  multiple sheets are printed per page.
  For instance: Page is 3.5 times larger than a normal page.
  This requests a page size of 28.6%. 
  So two sheets per page are printed using a size of 57.1%.

The dupe talk about printing in tiles, when the page cannot be skrunk enough..
