Windows 10: Display Scaling Changes Prints Scaling

I have many machines running Windows 10. All of these machines are affected by the same issue. The monitors are 2560x1440, for some people this makes things too small. One solution is to adjust the resolution to 1920x1080 but then things are fuzzy. The other option is to adjust the scaling at 2560x1440 to 125%. However, when doing this and users print things their prints come out smaller. Change it back to 100% scaling and the go back to normal. Why does changing the screen scaling change the print scaling in the opposite direction? Is there any way around this?

Scaling and printing.

Hello,

I am using windows 10 and a 4k monitor. Since the resolution is high I have to scale the display to 170%. When I print to my HP LJ 1606dn most documents come out fine but when I print from I.E it doesn't fit to page it prints smaller than the actual size of the page. I can go into the print settings and the default % of normal size to make it fit to page but then the all other print jobs that are not from I.E print bigger than normal. Is there a way that I can set the default so that I don't have to change the scaling of the print job each time I print?

Thanks.
