Printing - printing so small that you cannot read it.

IE7 does the "shrink to fit" which is a nice feature at times but sometimes
it prints so small that you cannot read it. I found this article.
http://msmvps.com/blogs/spywaresucks...18/689883.aspx However,
it refers to kb932538. I cannot locate the article. Not being able to print
from the Internet in a font that is readable is really a problem for me. Does
anyone know of a solution?

What are you printing where you see this small font, Sheri (e.g., an OL or
OE message)?

KB932538 is not publicly available KB article.

If this is mail you are having trouble printing, the article is not yet
available but the blog tells you to get the fix. Note: if they determine
that you have to problem of printing from OE or Outlook you won't be charged
for the call.

I am having the same problem with printing. It is so small I can not even read any articles. I have a new printer and I also have a new computer. I called canon for the printer. I did numerous tests and my printer is fine. I also called E machines it is not a problem with the computer. I called micro soft they informed me I need to pay 59.95 to register with them as my warranty is with E machines. I have only had this computer for aprox. 2 weeks. It is a micro soft problem and they want money to even talk. Micro told me to go back to the store where I purchased the Computer. Mary

Re: fonts

You know, it's really unethical to sell a computer to someone so
ill-equipped to use one. There ought to be some kind of background
check, or something.

Re: fonts

Hi Mary,

Thanks for your question, it's a common problem now that Internet Explorer
scales pages when printing. Check out this online help topic, it has some
ideas that might help you when printing.
