My pdf downloads print HUGE and changing printer settings does not help

I have changed printer settings in both the printer window and the terminal settings and get a MASSIVE portion of the document I am trying to print. If I hit scale to 25 percent I get a 25% size window of the MASSIVE section of the page.

iMac 27″, macOS 12.5
