Photo Editor is terrible for printing consistent scales. Even MS Paint does better. Or, get GIMP as a free, fully functional graphics editor.
The trick is to know what resolution you're working at. So check your scanner settings to start - is it set to 300dpi? 600dpi? etc. That's how many pixels per inch you have to work with.
So say you scanned a letter page 8.5x11" at 300dpi. Your resulting JPG file should be 2550x3300 pixels in size.
Your image should now have those attributes, so it knows what its print scale is. In MS Paint, you can confirm under Image -> Attributes, and confirm the resolution and width/height. In GIMP it's under Image -> Print Size.
Then, in the Page Setup options (in either), make sure the print scale is set to 100% and set your borders to as near to 0 as you can. Then fire it off to the printer and measure the results to be sure they're accurate.
