Printing to different paper sizes (Win32, Inkscape .44)

Hiho,
what is the best way to print a drawing to different paper sizes (A4, A1)? Say one has a drawing that was made for page size A4 (using the borders that inkscape draws when setting that pagesize in the document settings), and wants to print it on A1/A0 (or a .ps file with that size).
Simply selecting a larger paper on the printer options doesn't work as expected - inkscape will not use the whole paper, but only a part of it that has the size A4. I could resize the whole drawing to match the new paper size, but re-doing so for every new print (or whenever the papersize changes) is a bit annoying, and sometimes inkscape messes it up.
So is there some print-option that allows to "resize drawing to match paper size" or similiar? The question already came up some months ago on this list, but it seemed like noone knew a solution. The used version is 0.44 on Win32.
Thanks a lot eph

Unfortunately, I believe there is no such functionality. I'd needed something like that once before myself (for resizing slides for a presentation). It would be a nice enhancement if you can code and have some time (and interest) on your hands.
