Is there a way to set the default page size when printing in IE7?

I recently convinced a customer to upgrade to Internet Explorer 7 but now she is having an issue printing. When printing emails from her webmail in IE6 they would print at 75% and fit on a single page. Now with IE7 they added the "Shirnk to Fit" option which is the default. This doesn't work as expected and makes her previously 1 page emails into 2. She would prefer to not have to do a print preview of every email and adjust the print resolution so I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to set a default value for the scaling other than the "Shrink to Fit".

You could play with the CSS settings for the media type of "print" (perhaps, just for this one customer) to resize the entire HTML by 75% or something.

(First google result for "css print" is a not-so-bad-example from A List Apart.)
