I found the solution, mainly thanks to Äkiidoll's post at
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=308116
In ~/.icedove/xxxxxxxx.default/prefs.js there is this line:
user_pref("print.print_shrink_to_fit", true);
Changing 'true' to 'false' turns the option off permanently.
In iceweasel and seamonkey, using the same gtk print dialog, it is
also possible to set this default in about:config.
