Default Printer printing too small

James

Is your problem arising from the effect of shrink to fit? Shrink to fit
helps with the problem of losing the right hand size of the page.The
downside is the text size is reduced. One way to counter the problem is
to change the Portrait setting to Landscape.

Otherwise look at the web page for Print friendly options. An option on
this page is if you select Low Graphics:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/

Another example -see Page Tools and Print this page

I want to thank you for taking time to offer your opinions, Someone
wanted to know if I was talking about the text,or font, It would be
the text since the printer prints such a small type, and the system
is windows xp, IE7 and it's a Lexmark printer. I've read your
suggestions and worked with the printer, and found no help. Even
making the text size larger on the computer didn't help.

Try asking the question differently or stating your problem so we
don't have to guess what you are doing and ask so many questions.

You still have not said what or how you are trying to print. Are you
trying to print a WWW page from IE? Are you trying to print a MS Word
document? Spreadsheet? Text File?


I tried these pages-
http://news.bbc.co.uk/-(small)
http://www.yahoo.com-(small)
http://fourstateshomepage.com/-(small)
http://powerhouseministries.ning.com/-(it was normal.)
Test page-(normal)
then I tried-http://www.yahoo.com-(still small)

Say something like:

"I am using IE7 and when the WWW page is displayed, if I choose File,
Print, the web page prints but it is too small, or the text is too
small..."


Page prints,color is good, print is small.

You did not say what happens when you printed a test page.
NORMAL
What does your print effort look like in Print Preview?


My effort to print-I gave up trying-LOL

If a WWW page doesn't work, how about printing something else from
another program, or is it just WWW pages that don't work?

Is it all WWW pages or just one?
Read Above
If it is a WWW page you want to print, what is the URL (address) of
the WWW page so I can try it here?


You can try Yahoo, if you want-it will probably be normal on your
printer, but I'm trying to fix the one here.

I don't even know if it is a WWW page you are trying to print, so I
can only guess what you are doing.
