I think you are missing the obvious: Print an object with known dimensions, for example a PCB, and physically measure the printed copy with a regular ruler.

No need to be a jerk about it...I'm not doubting your statement, I just need to determing the same thing for the printers I am using. OK, so you got them off the ruler...what software were you using that gave you the ruler? Jeez!!!

The Samsung CLP-325 set to 100% scale prints at 1:1 while an Epson
Workforce 500 would print accurately at 100.5% if such a setting were
available. I need accuracy and an opaque printout but neither printer
prints an opaque black. Has anyone looked at a Xerox wax printer for
accuracy and opaqueness?
