PrintPreview1 with zoom buttons and scaling factor widget circled

In the attached "PrintPreview1", I claim that the "scaling factor" slider
widget (circle (1)) is not visually clear as to it's purpose.

I originally clicked on the buttons expecting the behavior one gets when
clicking the +/- buttons in circle (2).  When I did not get the desired visual
appeal, I thought again that maybe I was messing with the margins.  It finally
dawned on me what it was doing (see "PrintPreview2", but it took me more than a
few seconds to kick myself from my preconceived notions.

I submit that this could/should be made more visually explicit before 3.5. 
Unfortunately, I'm not a UI guy or I'd offer a suggestion.

This may apply to other LO components as well, but I was using Calc when I
noted it.

This screenshots were made with master.  Last pulled commit:
