    I print a web page from time to time and sometimes the type is too small to read on the print out. Is there a way I can make the type larger on the printed version?

    Try this ....

    First go to File > Print Preview and use the right hand drop down box to scale the page to the paper and see if that does the trick (IE7,8)

    If not View > Text Size and increase the text size and then scale to fit the paper - or print in landscape.

    Thank you, it worked


    Pete, once again you solved a problem for me. I printed larger with your first suggestion; but I did not do the shrink to fit thing. I scaled it to 150% and got the larger type. I wasted a lot of paper because it printed a 4 page article on 21 pages, leaving a lot of pages blank. But this the first time I've done it. I'll play with it A little and see if I can't perfect it and not print the blank pages.

    In parenthesis you wrote IE 7, 8. Am I correct in assuming the IE stands for Internet Explorer and the suggestions you offered will only work in Internet Explorer 7 and 8?

    Yes - IE = Internet Explorer - common usage and such shorthand saves my typing finger :)

    I don't have access to a copy of IE 6 any longer, but as I recall there was no means of scaling in Print Preview - several years since I last used IE 6 :)
