              Yes, it is possible, as I wrote above (certainly in LayOut it is easier as you can adjust where and how the scale drawing appears on the page).

              From your pdf it seems you tried to print the thing on a portrait sheet. What if you set your printer to landscape?

                  There are a lot of settings in that window and I cannot know what you missed. Did you keep the "Fit to page" or "Use model extents" boxes on for instance? (As far as I remember, they need to be turned off)
