trouble printing off the internet

13 years ago

I would like to print an article but the print is so tiny it is hard to read. But when I enlarge the print, it will not fit and I loose part of the article.
How to I make the print larger, and still have it fit on the page even if it takes an extra page.
Thanks
Marie

Copy/paste the article into a Word document
Change the font style & size to whatever suits you.
FILE:SAVE AS, give your document a name, then print it.

This is a lot easier than trying to make a web page print the way you think it should.

Anyone order appliances off the internet?

I purchased a GE Mongram Microwave from US Appliances. Just like above, I got exactly what I ordered, got a great price, and the transaction occured smoothly. Delivery time was a couple of weeks, but I wasn't in a hurry. One tactic that I used when shopping around for appliances was to print out pages from web sites such as US-Appliances for the models I was interested in, and then ask the local dealer to match the price shown. Some dealers said they wouldn't/couldn't drop their prices, but others dropped their prices right away. With some diligence, I was able to get local dealers to match all the lowest prices I found on the internet. I like buying locally anyway, whenever possible. So the moral of the story is that shopping around on the internet may help you get the best price locally.

you need to use the print option from with in the email program. For example on hotmail it has a print icon there on the hotmail emails. do not just use your file print option like you normally do.

Thanks to all of you who responded. So far, nothing has helped...One more thing it might be is the file that was placed on my computer when I installed my HP scanner, by the name of hpcmpmgr.exe. This is a systems diagnostics program that collects information on drivers, etc; and offers updates when needed. I noticed it pops up in the bottom tray about every 15 minutes. I don't care to have my system diagnosed, and would like to be rid of this hidden file. No way to uninstall it. If I uninstall my scanner, will it also take the exe file or is on here to stay? Has anyone found a way to get rid of this file? I am somewhat computer challanged, so please make it simple.Thanks again!! Ida

Two Internet Explorer 8's running...

If you have turned Tabs off, did you have 2 IE8 windows open at the time you saw 2 IE8 processes running? I'm guessing that you did and that is exactly what I would expect Task Manager to show. If you did not have 2 windows open, then something else is going on. You didn't say how much memory is in the machine, but if you have only the minimum then IMHO using tabs would better than opening multiple IE windows.

THANKS!! it worked. I am so proud of me----being not that good on computers LOL
Now, it is in documents, went to documents, and cannot make the print larger. This is information for a internet stamp class I am taking and it comes from the US Post Office. Some history stuff. Could it be they have some sort of block on it???
Any ideas???
Thanks

If you have created the document, you can highlight any selected text and make it as large as you want...just change the font size as needed and then SAVE the document. If it still does not print as desired, then you have another problem and I won't guess what it is.

Thanks to all, my printer is OK, but I think it is the document that is the problem. Because of where it comes from, I think I will just order it instead of trying to waste ink to print it out.
Thanks again

I have word 2010 and when I copy and paste like that I often have a problem. I copied and pasted a book list from the internet and wanted to edit to save paper. I couldn't change anything. It took me a long time but finally found out how to copy and paste with text only, no formatting.
