As with everything, it depends. Do not know your OS or Gimp version, guessing Windows.

If it is a straight scan and print, then I would adjust the print size: Image -> Print size. This does nothing to the image just tells the printer the size to print. Obviously start off with a decent scanning resolution, 300 ppi or greater.

Something like this: http://imgur.com/q21uU8s allow a bit for margins, set the width to 209 mm or a little less.

Otherwise, you might want to do a bit of editing or ... maybe scan and size like this
