When I print and email or information off a web page the font print size is very small. Is there a way to increase this so that it is easier to read? I can print from,say, note pad in any size font I wish, but cannot find a way of altering it when printing otherwise. I know that the printer I am using (it is the Canon S900) is not fully supported in Windows 7.

Don't know if you've got this sorted by now, but isn't the printed font size controlled by your browser/mail client regardless of OS.

I use Win 7 as my main OS and never have any problem even though Win 7 doesn't support my printer ( I have to use Vista drivers ). I can change the size of the printed output using the options in my browser ( Opera ).

You need to change the print options in the client (Outlook I guess?) you are using.

Thanks for the tips. Yes I find that I am able to get larger print by increasing the font size and setting it from fit on page to (say) 100%. However that only works when I print using it from the file option. If there is an option on the web page to print it still prints it very small, I am actually using Travel Line to plan journeys around London by bus. Still I can live withthat though it is rather annoying.

I think there are two options that will help. Untick "shrink to fit width" as the way the website is layed out, it shrinks it (a wide-screen website) to fit a portrait page. As this is not needed, leaving the "shrink to fit width" left off, will print the page the normal size. (Backwards I know, but I did not program it. ;) )
Or use the option to View a PDF of the journey, I think the website offers that as well. Then print from there.  :thumb:
