If you do

  Format | Edit Style Sheet...

for the Notebook, select the Graphics/Printout Style, then use 

  Format | Option Inspector...

type in

  magn

(or any part of the word magnification) and hit return, I expect you 
will find that 

  Magnification -> 0.85

for your StyleSheet. In other words, the StyleSheet automatically 
reduces the size of graphics for printout, which is usually what you 
want, especially if you are printing directly from a Notebook. Note that 
if you have

  Format | Show Page Breaks

selected you will automatically be in the Printout Style.

This, of course, assumes that you are using Windows. Under OS X you 
should use

  Edit | Copy As | PICT with embedded PostScript
