Could you please describe how one "scales prior to printing"?

It took me a while to figure that one out too. I think he means users might scale the text in Firefox, then print, ...
Hmm, I have here Firefox 2.0.0.1 running, I go to File-Print_Preview and on top in the middle there is a "Scale" element that can be changed from 100% to, say 70%.
I can find no such option in Firefox 2.0.0.1 on Mac OS X. What operating system are you running? Remember, being specific makes it a lot easier to find out what you mean and reproduce the problem.
Try it with google, or 99% of this worlds famous websites, and - wow, it scales down. Try it with wikipedia and it doesn't.
Sounds like a bug in Firefox; a printing scaling feature ought to work regardless of which method was used to set font sizes in the page's style sheet. Have you reported it to Mozilla?
