Title: Printing with FireFox.
Post by: UncleUB on August 24, 2009, 12:41:45 PM
Hi all,

Is there an option using Firefox to enlarge the text before printing.

That's some question......coming from a Printer Guru............ :lol:

Opera has file>print options>scale.....................I would think there is something similar in FF but cannot be more accurate as I don't have FF... :)

Did I not say it was only temporary........ :lol:

I think I have sorted it........although it does seem easier to do in IE7.

It works like Opera does on this but the sequence is File>Page Setup>Scale  :)

Hi Jazz,

Do you mean.............File>Print Preview>Scale..?

Two options in Firefox

file>page set up>format and options>scale

or

file>print preview>format and options>scale

In both options the "scale" bit may be greyed out, to get it "live", uncheck it's neighbouring box "shrink to fit page"

Yes you are correct TD,just shown a bit differently,so apologies to Jazz who was right in what he has posted.

(Being a Guru makes one check things several times to be certain)  :D

Glad it's sorted - I just set out the route I use for doing it - habit I suppose.  Still, I suppose a Guru does need to know ALL the ways to achieve peace and printing - that's what marks them out from us everyday wannabes!  :)
