Setting "Print Size"
here's quick tip can set magnification of "view > print size" reflect actual physical size of document.
1. measure horizontal viewable size of monitor or laptop screen. example: 13.75 inches.
2. note horizontal resolution. 1366 pixels instance.
3. divide pixels inches screen resolution per inch. 1366/13.75 = 99.3 pixels/in
4 in photoshop's preferences > units & rulers, enter value under new document preset resolutions shown in screenshot. save , close.
after that,when select print size,the document , onscreen rulers reflect actual size. open gl graphics cards being common,the odd magnification needed results won't appear jagged.

if want exact displaying print size:
open new 500 pixel x 500 pixel file in photoshop, , set 100% (view actual pixels) if not come way.
get out ruler , measure image on screen in inches.
divide 500 measurement.
this resolution of screen.
move decimal point 2 places right in number, , write down somewhere. call monitor factor.
for indesign or illustrator viewing actual size assumes monitor of 72ppi, fine tune actual size in apps, divide monitor factor 72 % view need apps see same size.
for photoshop, divide monitor factor resolution (in ppi) of whatever image working on determine right zoom percentage image.
enter figure in photoshop > preferences > units & rulers > new document preset resolutions > screen > resolution >. can select zoom tool , click on "print size" button have image automatically show @ actual print size on screen.
(you can enter figure when create new photoshop document, , set correct print size on files, including existing ones.)
has been case since cs2.
