I had problems aligning the text with the overlay. My solution was
to shrink the overlay to 83.33333% of the original scan -in the
horizontal direction only-. This allows me to print at 12 CPI
instead of 10, and allows for better alignment. I didn't really have
a problem with the vertical size.
Of course, this results in a white strip down one side of the page,
which I filled in with a copy of our logo, name, and address (turned
90 degrees). And I placed the logo on the overlay -after- I did the
shrinking so it wasn't distorted.
It does make it easier to align the overlay-- since you have that
'extra' space at the side. Trim all of the white from the left and
top edges of the overlay-- so it is crammed into the upper-left-hand
corner. This makes aligning the overlay and the text easier, since
the only adjustments you can specify are "down" and "across."

Trial and error. Re-scan the form reducing to 95% and all should work out
ok. 95% seemed to be the magic number for us. Don't waste time trying to
reduce the image with printing or other graphic software, always re-scan
changing your reduction there. Lots of T&E under my belt on this. It's not
just the HP printer but most cannot print on a 10th of an inch on the edges.
That leaves 8.3 inches printable. 8.3 / 8.5 = 97.6% for a more accurate
reduction. We rounded to 95% but 97% might work for you.
