Yes you can print at 25%, though since it was never tested at 25% there is no
guarantee that it works with all programs.  The 25% button is in the Page
Setup DITL, it just doesn't show.

Here's how you do it (with ResEdit):
1. Look for the DITL in the Page Setup Dialog (mine is -8192)
2. Open as general.
3. Look for the string "25%".
4. Notice that the item's rect (which appears BEFORE the item) is set to an
   empty rectangle -- 0078 0096 0078 0096
5. Change this to 0078 0096 0088 00D2

The next time you use the Page Setup dialog you will see the 25% button!!

Enjoy,
