Question

how to override default Print Scaling setting

PDFs that I'm creating establish two print scaling options: Default and None. Default refers to a default scale setting established by an individual user; None prints the document at 100% scale. The PDFs I'm making establish that setting at Default, and a user who wants to select None must do so manually. I would like to change that so that my PDFs establish the default printer scaling to None, but I'm unable to find a way to do that.

Print and prepress

I do not see any of those options in the Print UI.

Have you looked at creating custom printers with your scaling options?

What is a "Print UI"? I'm not also not sure what is meant by "custom printers."

"UI" is User Interface.

At the system level you can use Windows Control Panel to add printers and then you can modify the added printer's default settings.

You could also create and add a menu item to run a script using your desired printer settings.

app.addMenuItem
