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

Yosemite Apple Mail tells me one of my gmail servers is offline. I can receive but not send.

I have 3 Gmail accounts on my MacBook Pro which has recently been updated to Yosemite OS x 10.10.1
Storage 1TB. RAM 8GB
Internet access (Webmail) works fine on all my gmail accounts, so the servers are definitely online
I am now having trouble with Apple Mail and my main Gmail account
I can receive e-mails OK but am unable to send
Mail keeps telling me the smtp.gmail.com server is offline and I should verify my user name and password
On Webmail I am able to both send and receive emails
It seems the problem lies with Apple Mail
I have tried the app specific password a couple of times
It doesn't work
I have tried connection doctor and everything is green except outgoing smtp which just spins
Today, another of my gmail accounts is showing the same problem
Is there a conflict between Yosemite Apple mail and Gmail?
It's a long winded workaround, but can I set up a shortcut to webmail on all three accounts and dispense with Apple Mail?

There's a sequence of steps in the support article for each of several possible scenarios of a connection failure in Mail. Please describe in detail what happened when you followed the applicable sequence all the way to the very end, without skipping any of the steps. That's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem.

Yosemite Apple Mail search not working

Upgraded Mac mini from Mavericks to Yosemite.
Search within Apple mail is not working.
Come to think of it, search everywhere seems to be broken. It's as if Spotlight is not working too well.

FINALLY I found a way to fix this issue, at least for me:
Boot into SAFE mode: OS X Yosemite: Start up in safe mode
Run Applications -> Disk Utility
Click on your hard drive's volume
Click and run Repair Disk Permissions
Reboot
Voila! Fixed at last!
I also found that Alfred was hanging on startup, probably same reason as Alfred uses Spotlight in the background.
No more issues.
What's weird is that I finally bit the bullet and installed Yosemite on my 13" Retina MacBook Pro and had no spotlight issues whatsoever. Weird.

Font size in writing mail is too small for first two lines and then switches to 12. How do I change this to start and stay in 12.

When I want to reply to a message or just compose one, the font size is Times Roman 10 which is too small. After two lines it becomes 12. How can I change the font to start and remain Times Roman 12?

Mail > Preferences > Fonts & Colors > Message font: > Select ... 14
This survives closing and reopening Mail. When you open a New Message window, the body text will now be 14 point.
That's how it works on my iMac with OS X 10.8.1 but it refuses to change when selected on our new MacBook Air with the same OS and Apple Mail version. Is there something about the track pad that it doesn't recognize the click?

Yosemite Apple Mail - Troubleshooting - Connection Doctor

hi to all out there,
Apple Mail under Yosemite OS X 10.10 (14A389) can be a pain ...
#1 Connection Doctor :
there is this fine 'OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages' here
http://support.apple.com/en-us/ts3276
look at it, the image, the second in particular, next following ''Tip: If you see a spinning gear in Mail or the Mail Connection Doctor, choose Window > Activity to learn what Mail is doing.'
Take a look at the 'Account Name' column.
it looks quite similar on my macs apart from the fact that i detailed, for quite some time and quite some Apple Mail versions in the past, the accounts with -- to me --meaning-ful names, such as 'gbacc1(at)gmail.com', etc.
in apple mail prefs, and sys prefs, i thus could always spot what accounts and providers i employed when using the same entry for 'Description' and 'Email Address' in Apple Mail preferences account tab. (it too had advantages in the past when i did dirty finger jobs by tweaking the mail library, see below)
the apple mail preferences window may read :
#1 Account Type : Google IMAP; Description: gbacc1(at)gmail.com; Email Address: gbacc1(at)gmail.com; Full Name : ....
#1 Account Type : Google IMAP; Description: gb2acc(at)gmail.com; Email Address: gb2acc(at)gmail.com; Full Name : ....
#1 Account Type : Google IMAP; Description: acc3gb(at)gmail.com; Email Address: acc3gb(at)gmail.com; Full Name : ....
the apple mail 'Connection Doctor' window reads
'Status' column /green, or /red dot
and the 'Account Name' column 'Gmail' with the Account Type Column entry = 'Gmail SMTP' and the 'Details' = 'Connections and Loging to server succeeded.'
however, if something went wrong, the 'Details' entry may read 'Could not connect to ... checkbox in the Advanced tab of Account preferences.' (and the Status dot = /red)
as can be seen there is nothing to be seen, well, not any detail on which one of the gmail-accounts it is that causes problems
neither the 'Show Logs' nor the 'Show Details' yields any help/detail
in my case, there also is an odd issue with some accounts in 'Connection Doctor' being entitled correctly ('Account Name: gb2acc(at)gmail.com') whereas others, according to the simplified example list above, are merely assigned as 'Account Name: Gmail') ?¿!¡
it would help if one could identify, clearly, from the 'Connection Doctor' what account works and which one doesn't. that would be a working doctor, in my books. right now, it looks as if the doctor lacks some skills ...
#2 apart from experiencing these problems with AOL, and gmx, with that evil windows live crap accounts too, and gmail, the Apple Mail.app tends to ask over and over again and again for passwords (receiving, or sending mail). that is very annoying. in previous Apple Mail versions such issues were overcome with re-building mailboxes completely (eg. deleting the envelope-files) but these days it is really a big pain getting work done with Apple Mail --- i really hate (after having, eventually, received more or less all emails) that Apple Mail might ask me again for my passes when trying to send replies ?¿!¡
that 'Connection Doctor', and the 'Activity Window' do leave me with sort of a placebo-like win-crap info which delivers no info.
mebbe i grew very old and me memory (for that sake, me intellect, to be precise) fades but did we have such in os 6, os 7, or even Tiger and Leo ?
methinks it got worse with SL and beyond ... but then again it may be just me -(
btw. concerning posting & editing pop-up/pop-in : 'You have included content in your post that is not permitted.' is not of great help whence no details on 3vil l3tter-combos are given, methinks ...

another issue not noticed before : tho i have all notifications set OFF, and all automatic 'check for new messages', Apple Mail can't be stopped in (a) sending notifications for some but not all accounts (out of a sudden it started) and when fired up it checks for some (aol accounts) automatically.
no way to turn it off.

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.

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

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
