This has almost nothing to do with Zope. (And I say "almost" only 
because Zope is a web server and this asks about HTML.)

Printing of web pages is almost entirely up to the browser. Most will 
try to print something that looks very much like the page you see on 
your screen. You can, however, define CSS styles specifically for 
printing, which should allow you to have some control over sizes et al. 
Perhaps you can look at how Plone does this.
