IE7 Printing Problems

PMH64 · 12-07-2006, 10:23 PM

Hello,
I am new to this forum and I hope I'm doing this right. I have a Dell computer running Windows XP. I recently installed IE7 and have only 1 problem with it. When I print from a web page, the print is way too tiny for these old eyes! I understand about the "shrink to fit" and all that. Is there anyway to increase the font size? I tried a couple of different ways but it still comes out of the printer too small for easy reading. Does anyone else have this problem?
Thanks for any help.

Hello and Welcome to TSF

Microsoft is aware of these issues and it has been escalated to the IE team for their attention.

Try Print Scaling

You can increase the print scale of an entire page, or highlight specific portions of a page for printing and zoom in or out on that selection, making it as large or small as you want.
