Windows 10: Print to Scale < 100% Not Working in Edge Browser

I am an avid eBay seller and in the last few days, I have noticed that when I try to print my paper labels for shipping, the Print to Scale feature no longer works if I select a value less than 100% when trying to print using the Edge browser. It DOES work if enlarge over 100%.I have not changed any printer settings and have verified that my printer driver is up to date.

Microsoft Edge custom print scale gone?

Microsoft Internet Explorer had a custom print scale feature in the print preview. This was super handy, especially when the default printing would spill just a line or two onto the next page. In Internet Explorer I could just custom scale the print size
down a few percentage points, and it would print one less page. The custom print size feature was so useful, that I would often paste an URL from Chrome into IE, just so I could get the print size I wanted. However, in Microsoft Edge, it appears this custom
print scale feature is missing, and all I can do is scale the print size in huge 25% increments or accept the default "shrink to fit" scale. Is there a way to custom scale the print size in the new Microsoft Edge browser? (Or did Microsoft, in their infinite
wisdom, decide that users don't need this useful custom print scale feature?)
