My permanent solution is to use Firefox.

I apologize for adding my little spiel here on this subject but the problem goes further than IE7.
I am experiencing this "Shrink To Fit" problem in trying to do a "Print Preview from both Firefox and Eudora my email program. As far as I know though, I am only having the actual very small print problem from email that I print out from that comes from one of our daughters who uses Outlook for their email program.
I did do a recommended registry change and a MS Hotfix though which did not correct the "Shrink To Fit" problem when doing "Print Previews" from Firefox and Eudora though. I don't know if IE7 had the "Shrink To Fit" problem before I did the registry change and hotfix because I don't normally use IE7 and never thought about checking it before doing the fixes but nevertheless, now, after doing a "Print Preview" from IE7 the font size is now set to "100%.
I sure wish someone would fix the real problem which in my opinion is with the "Print Preview" part of the program that sets the default font size to "Shrink To Fit" in the first place... But what do I know as I am just a 76 year olddawg...haha...
