Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to print or print preview.
2.Observe output
3.
Actual Results:  
Printed or print preview output seems strangely enlarged.

Expected Results:  
Should print or print preview normally.

Can't block on unconfirmed bugs; please get a confirmation. Printing and print preview seems to work fine for me, on OSX, latest branch nightly.

Ok -- just so we're all trying the same thing, let's make the following URL our "standard testcase" for this bug, at least to start with:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/README

> This is on any printer

Can you print-to-PDF the above-linked README page, and attach the result here, so we can see what's wrong?  (I've used the free "BullZip" PDF printer[1] before and can recommend it, but any PDF printer should do.

It'd also be handy if you could test this using a fresh profile, because the problem could be is something broken in your normal profile.  I think you can try this in SeaMonkey by doing:
>  cd [your seamonkey directory]
>  md foo
>  seamonkey -no-remote -profile foo
>  [And then delete the "foo" folder later]
This just creates an empty folder and use that as a temporary SeaMonkey profile.

I get normal-size output (not matching the attached PDF) with Seamonkey 2.0 on Windows XP
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4) Gecko/20091017 SeaMonkey/2.0

Worcester12345: My guess is that you've got something broken in your profile.  Can you try this with a fresh profile?  (Steps are given in comment 2 -- or, if you prefer point-and-click, you can use Start Menu | SeaMonkey | Profile Manager.)

The trouble is that some of the extensions are hard to find, and extension support in "Seamonkey" is minimal.
