Vista - Tiny printing

Hi

I have just started using Windows Mail having previously always used
Outlook. I am having a number of issues but the worst one at present is that
whatever font I use on the screen the emails I print use a font so tiny as
to be illegible. Any suggestions?

John

Hi,
Windows Mail is using settings from Internet Explorer. Go to IE> View> Text
size. If you don't have the Menu Bar enabled, it's under IE> Page> Text
size.

Hope this helps,

The printed output from WM is controlled by settings in Internet Explorer.

Text Size = view>text size
Margins = File>page set-up.

HTH?

Unfortunately this does not solve the problem. It increases font size on
screen but the printing is still tiny and illegible. Any other suggestions?

You checked FILE|PRINT|PRINTER PREFERENCES? In my Canon set up there
are print size options listed. Your situation may be different.

Hi,
If Outlook is still installed, look at the Outlook info at

That DOES work -- You must change the text size in INTERNET EXPLORER!!

I did!!!! All that does is make my screen font in IE much too big and makes
no difference whatsoever to the print size, which is still tiny.

I can print normally from my old Outlook 2003 and from every other program
except Win mail.

Hi,
Sorry, I don't know then what else could be causing the problem except a
printer option/setting- maybe something like "Print _% of original size" or
"Fit to page."

Have you checked the printer manufacturer's website for Vista compatible
drivers?
