Why won't preview print the actual size of the photo?

Why can't I print directly from Photoshop instead of having to print through preview? I believe I've checked the proper settings in preview preference but it keeps scaling my photos.

This a very annoying feature of preview. Having carefully sized my artwork in Adobe Illustrator and saved as a pdf, Preview then shrinks the thing! Why does it not print the right size as specified in the pdf??
