Help with laser printer.?
28.April, 2009
When I print something from online, the whole page is squeezed into about a third of the sheet of paper. This only occurs when it's printed online, not when I print from MS-Word. The printing properties are the same, it's set to "Actual size".
The printer is a HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni.
When you are printing stuff from the internet (web pages, email, etc.) the reason for the small print is that it is related to the size of the monitor and it's viewing setup (the higher the screen resolution, the smaller the print will be when printing it out even though it looks good on the monitor).
One way you can make the print larger when printing internet stuff & emails is by changing the print view size on the screen to a larger size in your web browser (this is separate from your other setting you've already setup). Go to the menu bar at the top (i.e. Internet Explorer), click on "View," then "Text Size" then select a size like "Larger" or "Largest" (something higher than what you're currently set to.)
I think the best method for internet printing is to go to your menu bar at the top of your web browser, click on "File" then "Print Preview". At the top of the window there should be a small window with "Shrink To Fit" in it. Click the arrow for a drop down list and choose something probably above 80% or more (maybe 100 or 125%) and see how it changes the print size of what is to be printed out and choose the one that looks and works best for you.
The only other method is to copy & paste the text into a text editing software like Word and adjust the text size there. If you're using a text program, then you simply adjust the size of the text to a 12 or 14 point, or larger, font size (adjust depending on the font and size you need) and that should do the trick.
Best of Luck.

I'd check the print preview in your browser to make sure it's at full size when you print it. I've seen that happen by accident in Firefox when I had something set to a larger or smaller size to fit better on a page and I forgot to change it back.
Hope that helps!
