When I try to print a page, either I get the whole page very small, or I only get a portion of the page. What setting am I missing?
I am trying to print a page from a web page. If I check, "shrink to fit" on the print/ page setup, I get the whole page but so small as to be useless. If I uncheck "shrink to fit" I only get about 1/3 of the page. I have tried the % function, and it only changes the size of the narrow portion I am already seeing. How do I print the entire page in a reasonable size?

If Firefox is not using the whole sheet of paper, this can be caused by Firefox having extracted the wrong paper size settings from Windows when reading the print driver data. Clearing it can involve finding some obscure settings, but here goes:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste print and pause while the list is filtered
(3) For each setting that specifically mentions the problem printer, right-click and Reset it. The fastest way is to right-click with the mouse and then press the r key on the keyboard with your other hand.
Note: In a couple threads involving Brother printers, the preference printer_printer_name.print_paper_data was set to 256 and when the user edited it to 1 that by itself fixed the paper size problem. If you use a Brother printer and see a 256 there, you can edit the value by doubling-clicking it or using right-click>Modify.
Any improvement?
