    Print from AutoCAD Introduction HP ePrint & Share Plugin for AutoCAD is an extension (plug-in) for AutoCAD developed by HP to facilitate the printing process from AutoCAD.

If the scale reduces the drawing, the paper size is reduced as well. If scale magnifies the drawing, only the drawing is scaled—the paper size is left as it was defined in the layout.
