Yep, the image that I used for the example is large by accident. But the 
same problem happens with more usual sizes, for example the default size.

Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean exactly. The size of the 
figure is not a problem, I can make it smaller as I commented. About 
scaling, do you mean scale the figure in the screen and then print it to 
a paper of size the same of the figure? Is the following what you mean?

This does not work for me either. Could you please give me a detailed 
working example of what you mean? I'd appreciate it.
