when i print it is printing what i see on screen meaning if im zoomed in thats what i get if im zoomed out i get a small print is there a config setting to always print the outline of my template i usually choose empty then A size it shows the 8.5 x 11 outline on scrren and thats what i want it to print.
 
It's all in the printer interface. You can control it manually or setup a printer.pcf file. Pick File/Print, select a printer than pick configure. Go to the Model tab and change the plot from "Based on Zoom" to Paper Outline. I find it's best to set up several custom .pcf files so it prints consistantly & I don't have to remember all the various mouse picks.
