Prints in tiny font

officejet 4500, win XP, installed new black cartridge, prints in tiny font when on internet, & in Smart web printing too.
no control of font within printer dialogue box

Please read this post then provide some details. What operating system? How is the printer connected - USB or wired LAN?
What program are you using for email?
I bought my Photosmart 2610's in 2005, it has been discontinued for a few years at least. Do you mean the color cartridge is only a few months old?
Try printing a diagnostic page as shown here. Do colors print properly?

Java 7 Update 7 and 9 on Mac Lion OS 10.7.4 - Applet printing tiny fonts

As of Java 7, when you go to print from an Applet the fonts are no longer readable (super tiny). A preview of the same on content on the screen is not an issue only show a font issue when you print the contents.
To see this failure in action you can test using this page:
[applet demo|https://www.peernet.com/PEERNETReportsServer3/ademos.htm]
On this page,:
1) press the preview button to show the page to be printed
2) press the 'Print...' button, print to any printer and you see the textual information is just printed as dashes (super tiny font).
Any suggestions on how to correct Java 7 printing from applets.
BTW: Works fine from a full Java application.

Hi Jen,
I am having the same issue, from what i am reading and understanding is apple and there in genius ideas decided to block Java because its apparently a security risk - a joke i know!

i am still currently working on a way to enable this again unless apple relise that this was a completly stupid idea and come to there sens before i come up with away then ill keep you updated when i get it working
so for those who are reading this and havent updated yet my advise if you need java for online games or course materail or anything really DONT UPDATE
thanks

When I send an email in Thunderbird it looks fine, but when the recipient tries to print it, the font is unreadablly small. Is there a setting I need to fix?

I have Thunderbird version 24.3.0 downloaded to my Windows 7 computer.
When I send an email in Thunderbird it looks fine and when the recipient receives it, it looks fine on the screen, but when she tries to print it, the font is unreadably small. This happens on every email I send her, but not other people's emails she receives. It has happened on some of the emails I receive back from her that contain the information I sent her.
Is there a setting I need to fix or something I can do on my end to address this so this doesn't happen. She is receiving email through AOL online. I believe she is viewing it through either IE or Chrome.

I recently tried sending myself an email through Thunderbird to another email account to see if that was the case, but the email came in with a font so tiny that it was unreadable. I had chosen a font type and size (arial 10) and just coming into my outlook inbox was virtually unreadable.
And referring to the person I work with, she doesn't have problems getting anyone else's emails, just ones I send from Thunderbird.

TCS3 Frame Conditionl text causing tiny fonts in RH Topics

With a linked FrameMaker book, in the Conversion Settings dialog box > Other Settings, I've selected Apply FrameMaker Conditional Text Build Expression. In FrameMaker I've selected Show as per Expression.
The results are disappointing. In apparently random paragraphs in topics that include conditional text, RH is inserting this in the html:
<span style="font-size: 4.0pt;">
Sometimes it inserts it alone, and sometimes it includes it with other extraneous information such as:
<span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;
font-size: 4.0pt; letter-spacing: 0.00em;">
There are no paragraph ovrrides in any of these instances, and it only happens when Apply FrameMaker Conditional Text Build Expression is selected. I could build my expressions in Robohelp, but I'd prefer to manage conditions in Frame for reasons such as excluding many sections (topics in RH) that are conditionalized as "print only." With this check box selected, they don't appear in RH; but without it selected, I'd need to conditionalize the topic again in RH.
Any thoughts?

I just wanted to update in case anyone else has a similar issue.
The problem has gone away and I'm not entirely sure how I did it. I suspect it has to do with how I displayed the conditional text in FrameMaker. Typically I'll just use the Show/Hide dialog box to move conditions to the Show or Hide areas. When I instead built an expression that excluded the conditions (e.g, NOT"Cond1"ANDNOT"Cond2" etc), the problems with the tiny fonts ended. Interestingly, the problem persisted when I built expressions that included conditions.

HP Laserjet 1536dnf MFP printer cancellation of fonts

I have a technical question. I developed my own word processing and printing programs starting with the original IBM and epson dot matrix printer and then the HP Laserjet printers. Students a University of Pennsylvania and Princeton used my programs
to write their Ph. D. theses. Now there are plenty of programs do to this but I have kept my current. Everything was fine until the printer listed in the title. My program loads fonts in the printer. The font # are 7000,7001,7002,7003,7004.
I choose these numbers so as not to interfere with other fonts. My program runs in DosBox and sends data to the printer by writing to the file TRASH789.PCL in the directory C:\SPOOL and the program printfile (downloaded from the internet) spools the
file to the printer. When my program begins it sends the esc sequence that selects the fonts. Also I set the line feed to be 1/2 a line feed. (My programs works like a typewriter and subscripts and superscripts are just a 1/2 space
up or down.)   On all other HP printers for say 20 years everything is fine but with the printer mentioned above my font selection and 1/2 line feed are canceled. Various sequences of character will cause this to happen. It is pretty
random. One sequence I have isolated is below.
                    a3 a3 a3
The a's can be upper or lower case. There can be other characters between then etc. But if the first few lines that at printed contain these characters the fonts and 1/2 line spacing are canceled. If you put a paragraph before the a3,a3,a3
it will not happen. It the a3's occur at the top of a new page it will happen.
   I have tried various things to fix the error like repeatedly telling the printer to select my fonts, or loading an empty rasher of graphics a the top of the page but nothing works.   Fortunately for 95% of what I print it is not a
problem. I have work around solutions, making a PDF file using GHOSTPCL, or using another program that uses rasher graphics. (I wrote this some years ago when I bought a DESKJET printer. Now computers are so fast that the time delay with
the rasher graphics program is hardly noticeable.
      I realize that the number of people with my problems can be counted on one hand so there is no great motivation for fixing this problem but given the other problems with this printer (I have seen mentioned on the web) it seems
to me there may be a connection. (I only bought this printer, scanner, fax, etc) because I had a grant that was expiring and I wanted to spend the money. My guess is that will all the functions of this printer, probably set up by different
groups of people, the printer has glitches. As someone who has spent years on my own programs I know it can take months to figure them out. My only hope is that maybe this might help someone.
   Thanks for your attention.

Hi treborpowers,
According to your description, you developped a program which runs in DosBox. When this program running, it sends request to DosBox, then DosBox sends request to Windows to call  Microsoft font 7000,7001,7002,7003, 7004, then Windows responds
this request, however, the program could not print the font in DosBox correctly. Right?
Since it is difficult to narrow down the issue is cause by Windows, in order to resolve this issue effectively, please get help from the professional forum about the programming language.
Thanks for your understanding!

Lany Zhang

Creative cloud - Menu Bar and Palette's are tiny font.

I just downloaded creative cloud on my lenovo Yoga Pro 2. The size of my Menu Bar and Palette's are tiny font. However, Lightroom menu bar and palette's are in a normal size easy to read font. Can anyone tell me how to change just Photoshop?

For now the solution seems to be using the Scale 200% setting in Edit>Preferences>Experimental Features.
There is also a setting in Edit>Preferences>Interface>UI Font Size that enlarges some of the fonts, although not the menu bar.
After changing either setting, you need to restart photoshop to see the changes.
(File>Exit)

I have somehow messed up the display when in Hotmail. This app shows in a very tiny font. No other internet applications are affected. How can I fix this?

The window opens but the actual application appears in tiny font in the middle of the page.

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

In print preview the page is small. When you print, the print is tiny and down the middle of the pg. Tried all suggestions, no luck. IE prints fine.

Print is small and in middle top of page. When I click Print Preview, the page is now smaller than it was the day before. I've tried config reset printer-printer. Shrink to fit, custom printing sizes, adjusted font size, etc, etc. Nothing has work. NoScript updated. My printer is brand new HP Officejet Pro 8610. It's been working fine. Print from my kindle, fine. Print from my laptop, fine. Print from my Desktop computer in FireFox 34.05 and it's a problem. Desktop prints normal in Internet Explorer. So I do not know what to do next. Please help, Sincerely, Kapaman. P.S. Should I just uninstall FireFox and reinstall a new version?

My guess is that you have a problem with the Paper Size or Margins settings in Firefox.

Printer Built-in fonts in java

Hello,
I'm using Imaje 2000 Series Printer, when opening a new microsoft word document I can see some built in fonts specific to that printer like Imaje Arial, Imaje Times New Roman B, etc... I found out when printing with one of these fonts, the printing process is very fast. what happens is that I can see those fonts with name Imaje in MS word with printer icon attached to them, but in java i cant see them, and to check all fonts in java i used the below code :
Font[] f = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getAllFonts();
for (int i=0; i<f.length; i++) {
System.out.println(f.getFontName());
if i try to set the font to Imaje Arial, java will neglect that font and print on the default I guess. Is there a way to use the printer built in fonts from within my java application

well, i cant find the font in windows fonts
directory, but when I open MS wrod i can find the
font (for example: Imaje Arial) in the fonts list and
has an icon of printer which means its not a true
type font. and please note that this font Imaje Arial
did not appear in MS word before installing the
printer driver.Well, if it's not installed and you can't find the file, how do you expect Java to do it?

Tiny fonts in non-global zones in JDS

I have installed the u5 image and configured it to run trusted extensions. I have 3 labeled zones and am running the JDS. Everything seems to be working great with one exception. The non-global, labeled zones' JDS workspaces all have tiny fonts, tiny icons, etc. In fact, in the case of the "computer" icon for "This Computer", it is a completely different icon.
When I look at the desktop preferences, they are the same for each of the zones, including the global zone. All of the font sizes, the display size, dpi, etc seem to be the same (gathered from the Desktop Preferences/Fonts tool). I can make the font on the screen appear larger by increasing the size to something fairly big - a 16 point font setting renders like a 10 point font. xdpyinfo output from each of the zones are the same as in the global zone.
I also noticed that the /etc/X11/.xorg.conf file is only in the global zone. For grins, I copied it to each zone but that didn't solve the problem.
Anyone have any ideas?

Hi!
For example: http://wikis.sun.com/display/SAMQFSDocs/New+Features
You can configure QFS at global zone and then delegate some QFS-FS to local-zones over lofs.

Tiny Font in PowerPivot Field List

PowerPivot looks like a powerful tool for my users but I can't introduce it to them with such a tiny font in the pivot table field list. I'm using Windows 7, 1920x1200 screen resolution, Excel 2010 (EN-US), and PowerPivot 10.50.1747.0. Raising the magnification
on the document does not affect the field list.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Cindy Winegarden

The PowerPivot Field List follows Excel font. So while a smaller smaller font is used by default you can increase the size without having to change
the system font size by modifying the Excel font (File | Options | General | Font) .

Printing in Asian Font

My documents are printing in Asian font. I have HP officejet6310 all in one. When I go into properties, then advanced, "Download Asian Fonts" is checked, but I'm unable to uncheck.
Any ideas?

Hi there cobb,
To check for any software problems lets try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!

Adobe Form's First Page printing perfectly on 132 column sheet but further pages prints with small font size

Dear All,
We are facing a strange behavior of adobe form.
we made form for SAP CRM which is printing in 132 column(28cm * 33cm) sheet. what we are observing is, first page is printing perfectly on the pre printed Invoice sheet but if invoice has more items to be displayed then second page prints with small font size or you can say second page seems to be zoomed out to smaller page size. In Preview Second page onwards also looks perfect. Now we are in a fix what to do to come out of this issue.
efforts made:-
Adobe Page Size Adjusted.
Select paper Source by Page Size ticked in Adobe form properties
But still result is non satisfactory. Please Help.
Regards,
Ashkar Rizvi

See my answers below:
a) The size of the pages of PDF which you are printing. LETTER
b) Does all pages of the PDF are of same size? YES
c) What is the page size set in the Printer and what is the actual size of the paper which you have put in the tray? LETTER
d) Does this problem also happens on the virtual printer which you might have on your system (Try either Microsoft MPS Document writer or Adobe PDF Printer) No VIRTUAL PRINTERS
Thank you for attempting to help me with this... we have tried everything and haven't been able to resolve the problem.

I don't like the grey on grey tiny font interface in cs6. I don't like going online to make a form

I don't like the grey on grey tiny font interface in cs6. I don't like going online to make a form in Acrobat. If you had a template to suit me, I wouldn't need to create one. I don't like leasing the software from the cloud, I want to own my software and keep my files on my machine.

And you point beyond this being a complaint/ rant? If you have specific questions, ask them, otherwise there's no point in flooding the forum with the millionth complaint about the new CC...
