What happens to my scale when print after I use Gimp?

Hi Guys....can you help me?

I've been using Gimp for a little while now - mainly to import model files and either rearrange to fit on a single page or to print of extra bits.

One thing that I just can't work out is this...

If I import an image when I print out the altered image it is always SMALLER than the original - for instance, it seems to mean an increase from 100 to 107/8% to attain the original image size - what am I doing wrong?

It's fine if I'm just printing off extra pieces because I can print numerous times at different magnification until I get it right, but now I want to increase an entire model from 1-87 to 1-72 but, unless I know for definate that when I print it at an increase of 120% (the step up from 1-87 to 1-72) I could well be printing at LESS than 1-72!

Can anyone help?

Thanks all
