Printing from internet

When I try to print pages from the internet - for example returns instructions and label from Amazon - the print font is so large that not all of the text fits onto the page. In the instance of the returns label only half the label printed out. I have reduced the printing font from 16 to 12 but it printed out exactly the same. I have a samsung colour laser printer and I have only recently had this problem.

There is no font setting that applies to printing. The way to change the size of the text that is printed is thru the Scale control in the Print Preview window or thru Page Setup...

As far as printing to labels, you need to make sure that the correct Paper Size is selected - which can be done by hitting the Print button in the Preview window and then opening Properties... and then selecting Paper Size for the selected Printer.

I went into print a page that I had had a problem with and went to page set up and chose "Shrink to fit". I had never had to do this before, but there must have been some updates that disturbed the printing process. All OK now, thanks.
