[Gimp-user] Gimp won't reduce graphics to Print Size on printing

[Ed]

I ran into the same thing.  I "solved" it on my system by changing the
X and Y resolution to 600 pixels/inch in the Print Size dialog.  The
previewed image looked VERY tiny, but it printed the way I wanted.

I fiddled around the Image Scale to fine tune the output size.
