You will manually increase font size in your document as you want then take print out.

Hi

you can try this

Add Custom Paper Size

To define a new page size (form), follow these steps:

  1. Click the Start menu, then Control Panel, and finally View devices and printers.
  2. Click a printer in the list (e.g. Print2PDF), then click Print server properties.
  3. In the dialog box that appears, check the box for Create a new form.
  4. Give the new page size a unique and descriptive Form name, such as ’24×36′ or ‘Custom A size’.
  5. Select Metric or English units as required.
  6. Define the page size with the long dimension as the width and the short dimension as the height.
  7. Click the Save Form button.
  8. Click the OK button when finished.

Create Custom Paper Size in Windows 7

The new sizes should now appear in the page size selector in the Print2PDF Configuration. If it does not appear, then it is it too large or too small to be printed by Print2PDF

(or)


Choose how the print copy should look

To choose print options, you need to open the document, file, or picture that you want to print. Most print options are located in the Print dialog box, which you can access from the File menu in the program that you're using. The options that are available to you will depend on the program and the printer that you're using.

Printing your document

On the File menu, click Print. In the Print dialog box, use the Page Range box and the Number of copies box to specify which pages you want to print as well as how many copies. When you're done, click Print.

Hi Carole,

Please try going into your printer properties (start> control panel> printers and other hardware>select that printer>PROPERTIES) and check each tab (if there are more than one) looking specifically to see if there is a check mark or the 'radio button' is selected on an option that says something like 'fit to one page', or 'fit to page', etc.

An even quicker 'fix' would be to see if you have an option in the properties to reset all settings to default-- which would return any changes made to where they were when you first used the printer.

Hope this helps
