Printing in DWG Editor

Hi guys. Need of a little help again. I've got a few drawings in DWG format that were made in ACAD. When I open them at work in DWG Editor they print at about 1:10 scale. I do not see an option in print set up to change the scale or any setting to that effect.
I make them at home then have to print them at work on a larger printer. I don't want to have to rescale everything just to print but looks like I might have to.
As an example: Mounting bracket is a 3 X 3 square. If I print it at home in ACAD 2004 it prints properly and to scale. When I take it to work and print it on Solidworks DWGEditor 2009 sp4 it comes out about the size of my fingernail.
What am I doing wrong?
Second question: Is there a cheap online printer that can print a D size dwg file to scale?
Sorry to take up so much of your time but thanks in advance.
