Hello,

Everyone has to learn, what we don't know, we don't know yet.

You are printing directly from your model space. The scale you are setting in that dialog screen should (for all intents and purposes) always be set to 1=1. That scale represents the scale that will be applied to your printer setup (the rest of the dialog screen) it has no relation to the scale you will be using to represent your model.

The best way is to make a layout. The layout itself is a representation of the page that will be printed (pdf or paper or other). It corresponds to a specific paper size (in mm or inch).

On the layout you can place a viewport, which is like a camera looking at your model space. The scale with which you want to represent your model on the layout (that piece of paper) is determined by the scale of your viewport (think of it as how much is the camera zoomed in on your model)

Once you have your layout setup as you want you can print it with a scale of 1:1 (meaning the paper will come out of the printer exactly the same size as you setup your layout)

Check out this tutorial from autodesk about this procedure.
