Noway, unless you change the scale factor there is no way that gonna happen,
check the frame side of the two boards, if it's the same

Here's a tutorial I found for printing out Eagle boards, http://www.cnczone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=33374 a bit over complicated but it works just fine. I printed out two layers of a circuit following this tutorial and it came out the same size.
Robots are awesome!

Each file represents a different part of the board. Just look up which ones represent the upper layer.

Or if you meant printing with a paper printer, just turn off the layers you don't want to see (in the top drop down menu).
