When I print from Mozilla even though the page is correct size on my screen, when I print the font is sooooo big that it takes two pages of paper to print it all. The font is so big it takes two pages to print it all. HELP. Thanks, Pat Thomas

I have never understood where the font settings for printing come from. There's no explicit setting in Thunderbird about type sizes. If you're lucky, your printer driver will let you set paper size and margins.

When it has gone badly for me in the past I have used this add-on:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/printingtools/

…and one of its many capabilities is to set the typeface style and size for the printout. Maybe it will help you too.

How to install add-ons.
