Unfortunately, the answer is No.
What?
Printers that lack a full service touchscreen printer control panel just don't have enough "buttons" for all the tasks that a full panel can offer.
What to do?
Scan the content at size and save it in the appropriate format (PDF or Photos / Image).
Open the saved file in a software / application that understands the concept of Scale (some percentage of 100%).
Print the file in the size wanted.
Applications and Software are dependent on the Operating System / version.

Reminder -- Important consideration for DeskJet printers - Margin Requirements
=====================================
Printer - Margins
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Important
DeskJet printers do not support Borderless
and
DeskJet printers require a larger margin along the bottom edge of the paper.
These limitations impact how content is printed on paper.
This DeskJet printer requires a larger margin along the bottom edge (1/2 inch).
| Borderless Printing | No | 
| Print Margin Bottom (A4) | 12.7 mm | 
| Print Margin Left (A4) | 3 mm | 
| Print Margin Right (A4) | 3 mm | 
| Print Margin Top (A4) | 3 mm | 
There is no software, firmware, or alignment that changes the larger margin requirement.
The solution to "chopped off" is to keep all data inside of 1/2 inch / 12.7mm on the bottom edge.
This limitation includes all text, images, page numbers, footer information, cells, tables, lines, other notations, and all file types, too.
Create your original document with 12.7mm ( 1/2 inch ) margins.
===========================================================
