Print scaling is aligning the text differently since 133 (Feb 2025)

Dear TRENAMAN,

Starting with version 133, Edge introduced updates to its print rendering engine that may affect how content is aligned when scaled below 100%. The behavior you're describing—text aligning to the top-left instead of center—has been noted in certain scenarios, particularly when using custom scale percentages like 85%.

At this time, there is no user-facing setting to revert to the previous alignment behavior from version 132. However, as a workaround, you may consider:

Using the “Fit to Page” or “Scale to Fit” options in the print dialog, which may help restore centered alignment.

Exporting the document to PDF and printing from a dedicated PDF viewer, which may preserve the original layout.

Adjusting margins manually in the print settings to compensate for the alignment shift.

We’ve shared this feedback with our product team for further review. If this issue is impacting business-critical workflows, we recommend submitting feedback directly via Edge (Settings > Help and Feedback > Send Feedback) to help prioritize resolution.

If the above response helps answer your question, remember to "Accept Answer" so that others in the community facing similar issues can easily find the solution. Your contribution is highly appreciated.
