After printing a doc. that was in large type, then other docs that appear in smaller font on screen also print in the same larger font.

Cannot find how to restore the regular font size I was used to before doc. with very large font size apparently set some option in Firefox to larger font as default. Tried turning printer off to reset any default settings there, but did not correct the problem. Checked options under tools/options/content/fonts and colors and these are set to default of Arial 12 which is what it should be.

Chosen solution

The easiest place to adjust print scaling is on the Preview screen. You can call up Print Preview for the currently displayed page using either:

  • Print button on the graphical menu (the one accessed using the "3-bar" menu button at the right end of the main toolbar)
  • File menu on the classic menu bar (if you do not normally display the classic menu bar, you can activate it temporarily by tapping either the Alt key or the F10 function key)

Then you should see a bar above the document with controls for scaling, orientation, etc. Does that help?

This was somewhat helpful. However, don't know where to find "print scale setting". Did not find it in Firefox Options (I don't think, but may have missed it). Do I find the "print scale" option in the settings on the printer itself?
