Prints too small can't read it

I have the HP Officejet 6500A when I print something it is too small to read. I downloaded a new driver that said it would fix it but it didn't. Any help would be appreciated

Hi,
You can change font sizes and/or increase/decrease (%) when print from application. Which application do you print from ? Or from a web browser ?

Yosemite Apple Mail prints too small

After Yosemite upgrade the body of text in Apple Mail messages prints extremely small. 2 Printers tested - HP Laserjet 5100tn and a Konica Minolta 5500 with a Fiery controller. Printing to a PDF file first is OK.
This only seems to occur when I print messages that I've sent or when I print a message where someone has replied to a message that I sent previously. Only the body of the messages that I sent prints too small. The From, Subject, Date, To, My signature, and anything from messages that have been sent to me from someone else are all OK. In messages that were replies to me from messages that I sent to others, everything is OK except the body of the message that I originally sent to that individual.

I have had this issue as well and have not really been able to resolve it. Yosemite Mail app doesn't seem to have the option that previous OS did where you could choose "Scale Message to Fit," "Rewrap Message to Fit," etc.
Am I missing something here or did they disable this option? I know I can change font or increase font size in preferences, but I don't really need to increase font size for display, only for printing, which seems to be very tiny no matter what I try to do.

Print too small, tried everything (I think..)

Hi
I recently installed the driver for this printer from the HP site and replaced some empty ink cartridges. So, printer now prints.
Trouble is, whatever I do in Preferences, or in Word, Acrobat, anything, the page prints too small and centred. The setting in preferences is A4
When I ask the printer to print the TEST pages, i.e the 'Self Test Diagnostic Page' and 'Print Quality Diagnositcs Page' they are both perfect and the correct size.
I am using an older version of Mac OS (10.4.....) but not had trouble before.
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

Hi @migrations
If I am not mistaken, you need to increase the font size within the program you are printing from. Be sure not to increase the zoom, the font size needs to be larger for the print size to be increased.
You may also see a scale to option, or fit to page, in the print preview, this might help too.

Anything printed with firefox prints too small

anything printed with firefox prints too small. If I print and email it prints in the center top of the page and is just larger than a credit card. if I adjust the scale to 100% the it prints what could fit on one page onto 4 pages and prints a small portion in the center top of the page and is just larger than a credit card.

Ok i think i fixed this issues.
i went to about:config print.print_margin_bottom (and also left, right and top) and right clicked reset (it took out the previous 0.5 value). now the pages look normal on print preview without the large margin

How can I get text printed out larger? It prints too small to read.

I have an hp psc 1610 all-in-one printer. When I print articles from the internet the text is too small. The options to change size only seem to affect the screen size, not the printer size. It prints fine in my word processor, etc.

File > Page Setup > '''Scale''' <br />
100% or Shrink to Fit is usually the best.

Print too small to read from printer with Page shrink on 30%

When printing some emails on Xerox 7225 the print is too small to read even with page shrink on 30%. latest email is from an AOL account and header lines do wrap. This problem is new.

Select the email
'File' > 'Print Preview'
You can change the size of the font by changing the 'Scale'.
increase the Scale to increase the font.
so start by selecting: Scale = 100%
When all looks ok, click on 'Print' button

The toolbar displays File, Edit, View, etc. print too small & barely able to read. How to enlarge print. Also background color of toolbars hard to read. It is black. make larger?

The Menu Bar, Roboform Bar in general all toolbars the print is too small and barely able to read. Please tell me how to enlarge the print. Also, the background color is black and hard to read. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Use this extension to adjust the font size for the user interface:
*Theme Font & Size Changer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/theme-font-size-changer/
Increase the String pref layout.css.devPixelsPerPx from 1.0 to 2.0 in 0.1 or 0.05 steps to adjust the size of all fonts and other elements in Firefox.<br />
In current Firefox versions this pref is a String value parsed to a float and allows to fine tune the dimensions of all elements (user interface and web pages) more precisely.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages if the above steps made the text too large.
*Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/

Print is too small can i reset it

the print on my printer is too small is there someway to reset it

Hi there,
I understand you're having an issue with the font being too small when printing. I will certainly do my best to help you with this!
I just have a few questions so I can help you better.
Which model of printer are you working with?
What operating system is on your computer? (Windows or Mac?)
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?
If it's from the computer, what program are you trying to print from? (Such as Internet Explorer, Microsoft Word, etc.)
Once I have this information I should be able to assist you better!

Print Too Small from Photoshop CS4 with HP 8500 All In One Printer

I'm running Windows XP with CS4 and latest patches and drivers. When I print an image to my HP 8500 All in one printer, the printout is too small. Instead of a centered 4 x 6 image on the page I get a 1 x 1-1/4 inch small print of the image in the upper left hand corner.
I re-installed CS3 and it works perfectly as do any other print options, such as word, etc. But from Photoshop CS4 I can find no way to print to this printer without the image shrinking in size. If I print to another printer at the same sitting, the image is fine. So it's a PS CS4 vs. HP 8500 unique problem I guess.
I've see this post in other forms and no help as yet. Does anyone have this one on their radar. I really like this printer, but it's quite annoying.
By the way, If I print to a PDF from PS CS4, the pdf file image is fine. That's another end around for printing also. HMMMM.
I did contact HP and they put the problem squarely back on Adobe. No partnership there.
Thanks,
Glen

Will the printer print from any app?
I know it sounds like a dumb question, but you didn't actually say... And I admit to looking for software problems on an occasion or two when I had forgotten to plug in cables.

Flex PDF Printing too small need 8 1/2 x 11

I am using Adobe Flex with IBI's WebFOCUS Enable. Once I export my SWT file to Adobe Flex in PDF format works fine on the screen until I print. Printing on 8 1/2 x 11 paper shows up in the lower left hand bottom about 4 times too small. I heard it has to fit Adobe flex pallet or be shrunk. Is there some conversion software to remedy this? Please adivse. Joe

Quick look at the "save as" feature has a list a mile long, including vector, autocad, xml, and more. Personally, I haven't used the program beyond playing with it and researching to discover it cannot do dates with the time period I need (though I imagine there might be a way to manually create the dates).
I've found Timeline Maker, and it looks like it can do what I need without a large learning curve. However, I would very much like to learn how to work most effectively in InDesign (rather than spread my learning across several programs). I do have a subscription to Lynda.com, and I have worked through a few tutorials, but I didn't apply what I learned immediately thereafter...and it seems I've forgotten much of what I learned!
If you have any recommendations for a novice working with InDesign CS5 who is trying to make a print book with maps, timelines, and perhaps an ebook with animations, I'd be grateful.
Presently, I'm setting up files to correspond with my outline. (Trying to manage chaos.) Any input in that regard would be appreciated. Since I'm working alone, I don't have the benefit of seeing any "industry standards".)
Thanks again,
Stacy
