You are suggesting a duplication of code, with subsequent bloat and maintenance problems.  

It is not possible to "fit to page" until the (paper) page size has been determined.  In KDE programs (Kwrite, Konqueror, KMail, Ksnapshot, etc.) this is not determined until the printer dialogue is entered - so it must belong to to printer code.  

Page orientation and number of pages per sheet (more scaling) is already controlled via the printer dialogue.  

Also, some applications like Konqueror do not have a concept of "paper space".  Printed font sizes, sheet size and any general scaling have to be handled in the printer dialogue.  

(I am extending my wish item to be a general write-in scaling option which defaults to 100% but has radio button options "expand to fit page" and "shrink to fit page".)
