Exactly. Most architectural plans are large (A2 or A1), but often I need just a
small pice printed on an A4 page.

So the first goal would be to print just an area of the plan.

The second goal would be to have a zoomed printout. Sometimes the original size
is scaled 1:100 and therefore rather small in original size. So enlarging it to
1:50 by zooming to 200 % would be great.

About the printing options: I suppose you quoted them for example as they
depend on what cups supplies and vary a lot. 

Using the display zoom is weird and doesen't sound logic especially in okular.
It would be a workaround to avoid an extra control in the print dialog ->
pdf-options.
(Actually in acroread I do it that way: I zoom the display to 200%, reduce the
size of the display-window so only the needed section fixes in. Start the print
dialog and print the current view. But of course in acroread there is no way to
select an aria like okular can do.)

To avoid confusion I think having a zoom control in the pdf-options would be
best. But still there is the difficulty that you don't know if your desire fits
on a single page or if the printer driver splits it on several. An elegant way
to salve this would be a preview in the print dialog, but I guess that would be
over the top...
