set default print scale?

Every time I go to print a screenshot from google maps it tries to zoom the image to fill the page, and I have to set it to percent, and change the percent down to 100. Is there a way to make that the default?

When I go to print a screenshot with Preview it defaults to 100% already. Are you set to "Scale" and not "Scale To Fit"?

There's also a Presets menu where you can set it to Standard, Last Settings Used or create your own custom setting.

problem I'm having is it always defaults to 'scale to fit'. And if I change the button to "scale to", then it tries to adjust the 100% to match the scale to fit size, and I have to set it back to 100 again.

How do I change the default?

Can you get this to stick if you use a custom preset? I found that changes to the Standard preset cannot be saved so I created a custom preset that I use as my default.
