Hi merlin,
You can adjust the size of what you are printing by following these steps:

  • The print is too small on various web sites that I open. How can I correct this?

    The print is too small on various web sites that I open. This has never happened on older Firefox versions. How can I correct this so every page I open, the print size is consistent and legible? I don't want to change it every time I open a new site.

    Hi Donna,
    Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
    Font Size and the scale (size) at which a document is printed is controlled within the application just before the job is sent to the printer -  this means the size is set from your browser (Firefox, Internet Explorer) or perhaps your Editor (Word).  Generally speaking, most applications use Print Preview -- or a variation of that program under a different name.
    An explanation and the use of Print Preview is avialble in the following document:

    Are you referring to the print on the pages that come out of the printer? Or the text on the screen of the printer is too small?

  • The print is too small have it set as high as 24 to try to change it- not working!

    Print is too small-changed several times and now up to 24- not changing!

    Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: <b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

  • The print is too small.

    The print is too small. I can't find anywhere to enlarge it. I've tried settings, but that just changes the density.

    hi montadorwatt, when you go into the firefox menu, you'll find a zoom bar at the top which allows you to change the size of a website.

  • The App Store print is too small and apparently unadjustable.  I am in my 60s and this problem will not resolve itself over time.  How does one effectively complain to Apple?

    The App Store print is too small for my 7th-decade eyes and is apparently unadjustable.  How does one effectively complain to Apple about this?
    Thanks, Jeremy

    Hi Jeremy...
    There's a work around that may help you. The Mac OS X has "accessibity" features installed that can assist in viewing text.
    Open System Preferences then select Universal Access then select the Seeing tab.
    Zoom settings are available there.
    More about Mac OS X accessiliity here >  Apple - Accessibility - OS X - Vision
    You can provide feedback to Apple here >  Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback
    If you are not aware, when viewing Safari webpages, you can press Command + (plus)  or Command - (minus) to adjust the size of the page.
    For zooming text only, click View from the Safari menu bar then from the drop down menu click Zoom Text Only.

  • Prints are too small

    I bought a new printer (HP Photosmart D5460) and whenever I print certain PDF files from www.mes-english.com it prints too small. I have large margins on the right side and the bottom. Ive clicked choose paper source by PDF paper size. Ive tried print at actual size, scale to paper size, but it doesnt make any difference. The funny thing is that everything looks normal in the preview, but the actual print comes out way too small. I have this problem only with certain files, and not with others (small game cards, for example http://www.mes-english.com/flashcards/files/adjectives1_cards.pdf). Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    That doesn't work either. Nothing seems to work. Do you have any other suggestions?

  • Thunderbolt - everything too small to read at high res

    I want to use my Thunderbolt at full resolution but everything is just too small to read without eventually getting a headache !  I bought a large screen to make reduce the strain.
    Is there a way around this?

    There is a fix!
    I have a 30 inch monitor running at 2560 x 1600 with my Mac Mini and the outrageous $99 adapter from Apple. (Found it new for $60 on eBay.)
    My menu bars and Google Chrome's tabs and bookmark bar were both way too small - like 4 point!
    TinkerToolSystem, (not TinkerTool) allows you to go into hidden preferences and re-set to "HiDPI." Afer making the adjustment which doubled my DPI, I had to choose half the resolution 1280 x 800, but with no loss of real resolution! Things did get bigger elsewhere but I was able to adjust most of them. Hooray! GL!

    About halfway down, under "Screen."
    For Snow Leopard
    By default, Mac OS X assumes that the display screen is rendering graphics with a resolution of 72 pixels per inch. This policy was taken over from the classic Mac OS. While this basic assumption was true when the Macintosh was introduced more than 20 years ago, today's display devices often have a much higher resolution. The pixels have become smaller, so your screen may actually use e.g. 100 pixels per inch. In practice, this means that graphical elements, for example fonts, will be displayed too small, so a 12 point font selected in an application might no longer match the actual size of a 12 point font printed in a book when you compare screen and book side by side.
    To accommodate these changes, Mac OS X is capable of using arbitrary display resolutions. TinkerTool System allows you to change the resolution between 36 and 216 pixels per inch. If the screen display stays the same, the screen contents will be displayed larger when you set a higher resolution, and smaller when you set a lower resolution.
    For Lion and Mt.Lion
    Apple has removed the feature from the operating system that allowed to control the physical resolution of screen output by an infinitely variable factor. As of 10.7 or later, this function was replaced by the feature HiDPI (High Number of Dots per Inch) which allows to double the physical resolution only. This means you can select between the discrete values 72 ppi and 144 ppi (or 288, 578, … ppi in the far future). Other magnification steps or scaling down are no longer available. The HiDPI strategy allow OS X to be used on ultra-high-resolution screens (“retina displays”).
    Enabling the HiDPI feature requires two steps. The first step is to unlock HiDPI mode via TinkerTool System. The second step is to select one of the HiDPI display resolutions on the pane Displays ofSystem Preferences. Perform the following steps to work with HiDPI display modes:
    Select the item Screen in the pane System.
    Switch between the two possible modes Hide HiDPI resolutions and Display HiDPI resolutions.
    Log out to let the change take effect.
    When you log in again, you can launch System Preferences, go to Displays and choose one of the HiDPI settings shown in the table Display > Resolutions.
    WARNING: The display resolution is a very critical setting. If you set the resolution too high, the windows can become so large that they no longer fit on screen. This means you can no longer see or control all parts of some applications which can make your system unusable!
    To use the system with 144 ppi, a screen with at least 2048 x 1536 pixels is strongly recommended, because OS X applications are designed by the rule that they can expect windows to have a minimum size of 1024 x 768 pixels at 72 ppi.
    The Retina Displays may lead to a software update and then we will all be happy.

  • Print is too small

    Hi,
    When I try to print photos they come out too small. I preview them and they are
    shown small in the preview. I select the proper size in the print mode but they
    come out small in a corner of the paper. What am I doing wrong? I have printed
    before and everything worked great. I have a HP 4315v desk jet all in one printer.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    What size are the pics? Select one in the iPhoto Window and click on the wee ‘i’ lower left. You’ll see the size expressed in pixels.
    Regards
    TD

  • My prints are too small

    I need help printing a 10 X 20 canvas print.  It keeps printing too small. 

    You have to provide much more details. What document are you trying to print? What size? What DPI? What printer? What print settings? What system? From a simple "Fit to page option" in the printer driver that you may be overlooking to insufficient size and DPI in teh document itself to physical limitatiios in the printer itself that may restrict the printable area there could be many factors at play here.

  • Print output too small to read

    Different pages are scaled between about 90% and 25%,
    resulting in text that's too small to read. I don't see any
    controls that allow one to seet the scale factor.

    I am having the same problem. I created my Flashpaper
    document on a Mac in OS 10.3. My file looks fine in the browser,
    but when I print it, the document scales. I am using the Flash
    Player 9 plugin and this problem seems to exist on any browser I
    use on my Mac (Safari, Firefox, Opera). The flashpaper documents on
    Adobe's site are doing the same thing to me. Please let me know if
    anyone has a solution. Does this happen in anyone else's
    environment (different browser/platform)?

    Laser Jet CP 1525 prints everything on paper too dark. All cartridges OK.  How can I lighten up the print?  Where can I adjust brightness?

    Checked with the support service ... Cannot be adjusted.  Suggested solution: try different driver; Did not work, no change.  Thank you, HP.  Once my cartridges run out, a new printer will be bought.  Not HP.  Promise.

  • MARS License: Print is too small!

    Does anyone else find the size of the type used on the Mars license too small? I'm referring to the license tag on the front panel of the MARS box.
    I'm using a magnifying glass on it and can't tell the difference between S and 5, G and 6, O and 0, Z and 2.
    The box is basically a boat anchor until I go through every permutation.
    Please tell me if I am missing something here?
    Thanks in advance and all posts will be rated.

    Thanks. They print it on the back of the CD.
    Unfortunately, the print is the same size and is of even poorer clarity than the one on the MARS box.
    I'll have to take a picture and send it to TAC just to get a license.
    It's ironic that the MARS 100 I was working on yesterday had the license pre-loaded. This MARS 50 must have been sitting around the warehouse.
