Shrink to Fit only affects the width of the content, not the length.

I suspect your problem has to do with the size of the paper selected in printer prefs thru the Properties button. Probably an odd-ball small size instead of Letter or A4, or a "custom" setting. If that's not it, maybe the margins are set excessively large or margins are "b0rked" altogether and need to be reset.
