Description

[Fergus McMenemie]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021011
Build Identifier: Mozilla 1.2a on a PC running nt 4

When I use the print properties to adjust the scale the first time, it appears
to work. In that if I leave and reenter the print properties panel the scale
change I made is still there. However when I print the page comes out at 100%.
If I reenter the print properties page again and try to adjust the scale again,
the setting is lost whenever I leave or OK the print properties pannel.

Same problem seen in Netscape 6/7

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.enter print -> properties panel and alter scale
2.print page.
3.

Actual Results:  
Page is not printer at the selected scale.
Print-> properties scale settings keep reseting to 100%

Expected Results:  
The printed page should be at the scale I selected.
The scale should be remembered between different print jobs.

Are you doing this in the Prnit Preview toolbar?

This is a known issue, that doesn't have a bug yet (I think) it is a regression
from a checkin to fix something in Linux.

This is Windows's bug? or Mac' bug?
The reporter's comment and OS aren't same.

Reproducible
Version 	49.0a1
Build ID 	20160527125000

1) Open web page
2) Select File Print Show Details
3) Change Scale to 75% and click Print
Observe: Page successfully prints with set scale
4) Select File Print Show Details 
Observe: the 75% scale is not retained, it is again at default 100%
Note: In Windows 10 the Scale default is Shrink to Fit, changing the value reverts to "Shrink to Fit" Expectation is value selected should be displayed as the new default.

I ended up reworking the whole table with % sizes applied as classes and then was able to scale the page for printing.i was Not sure why the browser was ignoring my print styles regarding the transform. I searched on the internet and found this
