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 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/279328/en-us -- Hope this helps.

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

Jose- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - So, now we know (after a couple days) you are trying to print a web page. What browser are you using? Internet Explorer, Firefox, something else? I am using Firefox for a browser, so this applies to Firefox: When you are in your browser and choose File there is a Page Setup option and a Scale box (percentage). On mine, the scale is set to 80%. What is yours? Change it if it is too small and your browser should remember it. When you choose File, Print Preview, there is also a Page Setup option there with a Scale option.(percentage). You can change it there. When you set it in either place, it will be the same in both places. If you are using IE (sounds like it) you did not say what a Print Preview looks like. You should check in Print Preview and it is too small, make adjustments there. I do not have the patience or time to fool around with IE. It is too slow and too clumsy. Asking it to print one WWW page took way too long and I will never do it again. You should know enough to start doing a little of your own troubleshooting, or consider Firefox . If you still have questions/problems you need to give more details to reduce the number of messages back and forth digging for simple details. Jose |

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 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/279328/en-us -- Hope this helps.
