Sorry Claudio,

you did not understand the problem.

To select a scale will not solve the problem.

Draw a rectangle with LibreCAD e.g. 190mmx270mm.

Then print it in scale 1:1. Then take a mm-ruler and measure the printed lines on the paper. If the dimensions of your printed lines are ok you are lucky.

I am unlucky, as in height the printed dimension is ok, 270mm, but in width it is not! In width I get 1.5mm less.

That is a problem in the communication between LibreCAD and the printer. With autocad I can solve it as shown in my first email.

I calibrate the printer with autocad and all future prints are correct.

How can I solve that with problem LibreCAD?

Hi man!
Try to see first the print preview and its options, Imean scale, b/w print and so on... Or maybe you can find out that paper size is wrong, so try to check it!
look this image:

If it is a problem of the printer itself (I hope for you that is not the case), try to print in PDF, if you are under windows I use "doPDF" printer, so I can set the paper size, the PDF dpi and some other stuff...
I print in pdf many times because of my "job", and I never had problems, if you are under linux then it should be some postscript option when you print, if you are using a Mac try to find a PDF printer even in this situation, I never used a Mac, sorry.
I hope that I could help you... See ya friend!
Bye
