Report Printing Very Small

I'm trying to determine if this is a driver, .Delphi Prism, or report issue. We are using a Star TSP650 printer to print transaction receipts at a cash register. The report prints fine in the designer. However, when printing from Prism it comes out very tiny. I would need a magnify glass to read it. If I print to a different printer, it still comes out tiny.  All other reports print out as expected to other printers.
I was first using the PrintToPrinter method but then was convinced that I had to use the RAS method of printing. Here is my code. This is from standalone exe that runs alongside a Delphi XE program which communicates via TCP messaging. The reportdocument is configured in a different method.
method TReport.executeprint;
var
  reportClientDoc : ISCDReportClientDocument;
  printController : PrintOutputController;
  printRptOptions : PrintReportOptionsClass;
begin
   try
      reportClientDoc:=reportDocument.ReportClientDocument;
      SendTCPMessage('DONE');   
      printController:=reportClientDoc.PrintOutputController;
      printRptOptions:=new PrintReportOptionsClass();
      printRptOptions.PrinterName:=sPrinter;
      printRptOptions.JobTitle:=sReportName;
      printController.printReport(printRptOptions);
     except on E:Exception do
       begin
          MessageBox.Show('The report 'sReportName' failed to print. The error will be shown upon clicking ok.','Error',MessageBoxButtons.OK,MessageBoxIcon.Error);
          MessageBox.Show(E.Message,'Error',MessageBoxButtons.OK,MessageBoxIcon.Error);
       end;
  end;
end;

In the report designer, I enabled "No Printer" with no luck. Then I enabled both "No Printer" and "Dissociate Formatting Page Size and Printer Paper Size" with no luck. Then I tried only "Dissociate Formatting Page Size and Printer Paper Size" with no luck.
Most of those options also disabled the "New Page After" feature of Details "a" of the report and the report just came out in a long receipt with very tiny text.
I am using Service Pack 1 for Visual Studio 2010 and Crystal Report 2008 Service Pack 4.
On a side note when I switched to using RAS for printing, the client workstations receive Class Not Registered -CrystalPrintControl. This [link|http://www.crystaladvice.com/crystalreports/fix-class-not-registered-crystalprintcontrol] fixed the issue on the testing computer but it will become a huge problem once we redeploy the new printing exe.  I saw on another [thread|Class not registered - CrystalPrintControl - havent seen an answer; that it may be addressed in service pack 2 which will be a big help.

    my 6500a prints very small, there are no settings in printer pref. that allow enlargement

    Hello MartyTheArtist,
    May I know  you installed Basic Print Driver or Full Feature Software?
    I am not holding 7110 printer but I have access officejet 6700 and Photosmart 7510.
    Anyway, you should able to see the similar print options if you did install full feature software.
    When you print, under the print advance options, there is an option  called. "HP Real life Technologies".  You may on this option  and it will "automatically remove redeye in photographs and to automatically adjust high-contrast photos to reveal details that are otherwise lost in shadows. I have attached the screen shot for your reference."

    I am an amteur photographer and personally, I do prefer to do post processing jobs in Photoshop first and then use the printer just to print by choosing the apporopirate photopaper and using Best Mode.
    May be you might have differnet preferences way of doing it. I am just sharing my way of printing photos
    By the way, when you install Full Feature Software, you have the option to install HP Photo Creation Software which is very simple and easy to create greeting cards, photo books and many other things. Maybe you might give it a try if you have not tried.
    Kindly let us know if you have more queries

  • EPrint printing very small

    I'm printing from Outlook 2010. When I print directly, I have no problem. If I send an email to print via ePrint, it prints very small. I think it's something with the driver (HP OfficeJet 7500). Does anyone have any suggestions? 
    Thank you!

    Hi RenewHeather,
    ePrint only renders the job as it comes and it does not change the size of the fonts.  In order to print out the larger fonts, you should change the font size before printing (via the email app).

  • C3150 Printing very small

    I have a Photosmart C3150, with Win7 using Firefox. Just all of a sudden it started printing very small whenever I print anything from my email or from my banking or actually anything from the internet. Could someone please help me get this back to normal. I don't know what made this happen but it is totally driving me nuts. It is so small I can't hardly even read it. I am having to do a copy and paste everything into a word document and I don't want to have to do this everytime. Please Please help me!
    Thank you.

    Hi
    Thanks for thinking along these lines but no is the answer. I found that printing from the preview screen would give this effect earlier on.
    If I choose file / print or use the print icon in the normal Writer page it just prints small.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue? Some how the printer is receiving instruction to print in this way but the print options dont appear to offer a solution. I have tried defaulting the settings but this has had no effect.

    In Windows------hold down the Cntrl key and then tap the + key to enlarge the size of the font.  Use Cntrl - to decrease it or Cntrl 0 (zero) to return it to the default.

  • Trying to print very small picture on HP C7280

    Hi,
    I am trying to print a picture of my son to go into a tiny frame mounted on a ring.  The problem is, the finished product needs to be about .6" x .75" and I don't see where I can go (if I can) to get the dimensions to print this small.  I have edited the photo so that it appears this small on my computer, but the smallest option I can get the printer to print is 3x 4.92, which is obviously way to large.  Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you!

    How you enable double-sided printing can depend on the applications from whick you wish to print. Example: if I print to my HP PhotoSmart  from Safari, I get this print dialog box:
    (Edit: OOPS! Note that I forgot to switch printers when i took the scene-shots, so ignore the "Brother" reference. It's should look the same for your HP.
    Note the selection labled "Safari" near the bottom. If I change that form "safari to "Layout: I get this:
    Note the option for two-sided printing appears for your selection. If I print from Word, the box is different:
    The "Copies & Pages" option can be changed to "Layout" when you click it, again allowing the selection of two-sided printing.

  • Printing very small

    Hi,
    I am using a Pentium 4 with XP Home PC and have been for many years a MS Office user. In Word I can use a blank page and produce a letter and have it printed on my HP PhotoSmart 7550 printer and its produced as it is on the screen.
    Having recently migrated to SO 7 (3) and producing a non pre-formatted document in Writer and printing it, I obtain a miniscule print at the top left hand of the page (about a quarter of the normal size). If I have a multiple page doc it will print all of this on one page.
    However, If I produce a document using a Writer pre-formatted document, it sometimes prints as usual (such as a mail merge doc) but single page docs print small even if they originate as a Word doc printing normally under MS Word.
    I have looked at 'Options and Configuration' choices but cannot find a solution to overcome this issue. I have downloaded the PDF manual but no obvious solution is identified. I have looked at the 'Forums' and no good!
    Please advise what my problem is?

  • Report in PDF Format is Very Small , Why?

    I run the report in browser , it is ok, but when taking output in PDF display is also ok , but when prints the report, it prints 3/4 size of actual report, means very small.
    How to over come this problem.
    Can any one help me.
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    Is your reports executed on UNIX or on Windows ?
    If it is executed on UNIX, do you generate a PCL output or a Postscript output ?
    There is a known probem with PCL with the decimal separator used in the output.
    In this case, the variable LANG can be used to fix this problem.
    Example ::
    LANG=en_US ; export LANG
