Before Final Scan
	set Scan Size to match your paper size
After scan you can hit Print directly (File->Print)
Select Properties (of printer)
	Select tab Margins
	Select "Use custom margins"
		set all to zero (0)
	Select OK
In the print dialogue hit Expand
	Select tab Image Printing
	there use "Original Size"
		Enter "Scan resolution"
		This produces almost perfect copies for me.
	or use "Scale image to fit to page"
		(the page has no margin)
		Not perfect copies but OK.
