Change print output by changing window size

I just found out that you can adjust the zoom while printing in TextEdit by changing the window size (at least for .txt files). For example, if you make your window big, the resulting printed page will have really small text, allowing more on the page (ideally to have the print out look like the current on screen display).
[Editor's note: This exact same thing also happens in Mail.app, but those are the only two Cocoa apps I tested it in. It seems wrong to me that a document with a fixed size font will vary its output size based on the size of the display window. After all, it's still a 12 point Verdana, even if the page is now drawn larger. Can anyone explain why this is either the expected or correct behavior??]
