   as I said, xv is the ideal tool for that: you can specify the
   orientation, the paper size, and exactly the printing size.

   The bad side is that it is not available as a deb package. So
   you need 4 lines instead of one to install it. As I know no
   other program as powerful as this one, it seems worthwhile to
   install it:

    ==> wget http://atrpms.net/dist/f8/xv/xv-3.10a-37.fc8.i386.rpm
    ==> alien xv-3.10a-37.fc8.i386.rpm
    ==> dpkg -i xv_3.10a-38_i386.deb
    ==> wget ftp://ftp.cis.upenn.edu/pub/xv/docs/xvdocs.pdf

After that, it takes 30 seconds to get what you want:
    xv myfile
    right button to get the menu
    click and drag with button 1 to select the rectangle area
    click on crop
    click on print ...

    More info in the pdf document (128 pages...)
