I have the same problem. My PDF and PS files have correct margins of, for
example, 1 inch. Printing with okular makes the margins larger and thus scales
the documents down. Furthermore, it is no longer possible to set the margins to
zero. (Okular 1.1.2 that ships with openSUSE leap 42.3)

Since there seems to be no way to avoid this behavior I can no longer use
okular at all. This is sad, as earlier versions did not have this bug.

I do not know of any document without proper margins. These margins are
generally wider than the hardware limits of the printer. Hence, there is in
general no need to scale a document to the area within the hardware limits.
Hence, the default behaviour of okular should be to print a document without
any scaling, i.e. it should by default _not_ try to fit the document to the
page. Any other behaviour should be an option.
