Solve : Web pages print too small?

Answer»

I have downloaded and installed Windows INTERNET Explorer 7 Beta 2 in order to properly size Web pages that I choose to print out. I printed a test Web page and indeed the text is correctly sized on the paper but now the print size is much too small. I have selected the Largest Text Size on my IE browser but still the print turns out small. How do I enlarge the text size so that it is easier to read on the paper that I print from a Web page? Any suggestions will be most appreciated. Thanks.
jandal :-?What is your screen resolution?

FlameFlame:

My screen resolution is currently 1280x1024 pixels. I right-clicked my desktop to find this out. I am very disappointed with the IE 7 beta that I installed. It may help in accurately sizing we :-?b pages to print but I hate the appearance. I miss my old menu bar with File, Edit, View, etc. on the top of the screen. I'm thinking of switching back to IE 6 Service Pack 2 if I can't RESOLVE this text size problem. Can you help me? Thanks.

janda;Is there a section on theyour new version of IE were it has the file, edit, view etc anywere?!?!?

If you can find it then go into view, then scroll down to text size and SELECT it to your prefrence. This is what you do on IE 6 so im not sure if it will be the same on your version. This sometimes happens to me but im using Firefox. Just changing it solves the problem.chriscool9:

With version IE 7 Beta 2, there is no section that has File, Edit, View, etc. The closest I can come is to click a Pages button, then scroll down to click Text Size. The text does print a little larger when I select Medium but I notice there's no change in size when I choose to print at the Largest option. Maybe I'm just too picky but I would prefer finding a way to print at a larger Text Size. BTW, I'm totally dissatisified with IE 7 and PLAN to switch back to my older IE 6 Service Pack 2. Any further tips you may have for me would be much appreciated. Thank you.
jandal Sorry mate ive looked all over the web for you and cant find anything that will resove your problem. Have you tried mailing Microsoft?

Edit: Here i did a little more looking for you, try pressing the ALT button and see if the toolbars appear.

This is the website i got all my information from.

Come back and give me the feedback. If it doesnt work go round to my friends and have a look with his for you.

I believe I have solved at least part of the problem! After spending a few days getting used to my new Internet Explorer 7.0 Beta 2 browser I finally found the section with File, Edit, View, etc. by clicking Tools, Toolbars, and choosing the Classic Menu option. Now I have the old, familiar toolbar that comes with older IE versions. IE 7 beta is great at automatically sizing web pages so one can print without worrying about having part of the text cut off. However, I still would like to find a way to enlarge the text size so it will print larger. But my battle is half won. If you'd like to try the new IE version, go to:

Thanks for your help, chriscool9.

jandalHahahah with all the problems people seem to behaving i think ill stick with my Firefox, thanks anyway. Well Ill keep up the research for you, but as i say i havnt got IE 7 so im not sure ill be any use.chriscool9:

You are very wise NOT to install IE 7.0 Beta 2 because I have been running into major problems recently. Since switching to IE 7 I can no longer copy/paste and when I click web links nothing happens. I am switching back to IE 6. There obviously are major glitches in IE 7. I guess we should all learn to just be satisfied and leave well enough alone. Sorry I steared you wrong, chris.

jandalNo worries buddy, good luck!
