The Magnification option applied selectively to the Working and Printout
environments will most likely accomplish what you describe.  In the
default style sheet, this is already done.  The Printout environment
prototype for Graphics style cells sets the magnification at 0.8, which
means that graphics are printed at 80 % of the original size seen onscreen
in a notebook window.
