I have a strange issue, please read carefully:I run an online store, and I print customer invoices from a web page. This page prints correctly on Windows 7 with scales set to less than 100%.

Always scale prints to 100% and not fit page

Is there a way in Windows 10 to force any print to scale 100% rather than fit to page?

The long story is we are using an application called Shipstation connect to receive shipping labels that print directly to a thermal printer. However shipstation only supports 4"x6" labels and our logistics partner uses 4x4.

This is fine if you download the pdf and print it from chrome with scale at 100%, prints entirely correctly, however their application must be using a fit to page scaling.

Is it possible to override something like that?
