User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; @AB_CD@; rv:1.8a4) Gecko/20040922 Firefox/0.9.1+

when a page is printed after the user has used ctrl/+ or ctrl/- to adjust the
font size, it should print at the new/displayed font size, not the original size

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.choose a page you wish to print
2.adjust the displayed font size using cntl/+or- a couple of times
3.print the page

Actual Results:  
page prints using the font size of the original display

Expected Results:  
it should have printed using the adjusted font size

For those of us who have gotten older, this would allow us to print a page with
large enough print to actually use it.  For those of us young enough to read the
smallest of font sizes, this would allow a smaller font to be used causing fewer
trees to be eaten for printed output.

I would just like to throw my vote in for this one as well.  I'm constantly
wishing I could print pages at a smaller font size.  The print scaling feature
is great, but if I've already lowered the font size for viewing, I shouldn't
have to do something else in order to print it at the smaller size.

This is one of the things I was hoping would be addressed in 1.0 - please
consider it for a future release.

This would be a very nice option, not a good default.
A check box on print preview would be excellent.
