Can this be closed since

seems to provide the feature requested here?

I would like to underline  m.eik michalke 2021-04-13 11:36:35 UTC 's comment.
It is REALLY annoying not to be able to adjust the default settings, and
sometimes I found it hard to get correct p[rint whatever. Also, why does the
"do not scale" option always turn on the rasterization "option"?  I use TeX to
generate pdf pages and they always have correct margins already set, so okular
print menu is not friendly.  I use evince just to print, but prefer okular for
edit/display purposes.

i'm using okular 1.10, and it looks like not much has changed, so i would like
to draw some attention on this issue again.

my problem is that i often have to print letters for use with windowed
envelopes. everytime i forget to adjust the default setting for each of these
printing jobs, i end up with paper waste because okular downscaled the pages so
that the address field doesn't fit the window.

i wouldn't put too much effort into the debate over a best default, but instead
just make these defaults *configurable*. personally, i don't have any use for
the current default at all and must adjust settings all the time; maybe others
have. please let them decide what they need per default.

Additionally to that, could there be a graphic next to the combobox to explain
the effect? I find “Fit to Printable Area” and “Fit to Full Page” ambiguous
enough to do so.

Indeed, that's probably even better.  (I have experienced that evince 'problem'
as well.)

If so, another question is whether to have that for the current session and
document only. E.g. I don't like Evince's behaviour of preselecting all print
options from the last printout, regardless of the document (so that e.g. if you
decide to once print multiple pages per sheet, you'll have it next time as well
if you open a completely different document).

An alternative might be to add a setting for the default scaling option in
Okular's settings.

+1 for this approach.  It also applies to a few other options in the print

Again I think it's important to avoid destructiveness in the default options.

Rather than arguing over what a better default would be, perhaps we should
explore alternatives that would bypass the issue entirely:
- Make Okular smarter about choosing a default based on whether or not the
document appears to already have built-in margins
- Make the scaling combobox more visible and prominent so it's easier to notice
and change
- Make Okular remember the last scaling setting setting rather than always
resetting to the default value
- etc.

Okay, but I think sacrificing accuracy for the sake of a few people with
unusual documents is not really reasonable. Someone who needs full-bleed
printing will probably be going to a professional print shop anyway.

Also, if you're a student, the extra margins could make it look like you're
trying to make your paper longer.

> most PDF documents have margins built-in
You may be right, but is there a way of verifying or proving this? I think it
depends quite heavily on what type of document one typically encounters.

Also keep in mind that it's important for default options be as non-destructive
as possible. When default "fit to printable area" and you use it on a document
with built-in margins, the worst thing that happens is that the printed
document's margins are too big. But if the default is "Fit to full page" and
you don't remember to change it for a document without built-in margins, then
the edges get cut off and the printout is ruined.
