How do I get a selection of a web page to print larger?

I have added the Print Selected text 04 add on. I first blue out the text that I want to print. I then go to the print icon and increase the print size from 100 to 125,150 or 200.This increases the size of the selected text. I then right click the selected text and choose Print the selection. The selection then prints but at the 100% ,rather than the 125 or 150%.

I think that extension bypasses the normal print settings. I noticed some of the reviews complain that the text is unformatted.

Here are a couple alternatives for printing the selection:

(1) Print Edit - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/print-edit/

With this extension, you make your selection in Print Preview

(2) Nuke Anything enhanced - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nuke-anything-enhanced/

With this extension, you select in the page normally, right-click, and choose Remove Everything Else. Then you can print normally (i.e., don't choose Selection in the Print dialog)
