 Hi augiex1,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Forums.  I gather that you would like to learn how to make the font larger for your printed documents.

 

The font size is determined by the program that created the document.  The easiest way to change the font size is to modify it in the program that created the document. 

 

If you continue to have an issue, please let me know and please include the following information in your next post:

 

  1. What make/model/product number of HP printer do you have? How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
  2. How is the printer connected (USB  cable, ethernet, or wireless)?
  3. What operating system are you using on your computer? whatsmyos.com
  4. What program are you trying to print from? If you are printing from Internet Explorer, did you try the Small Text document that @garytech1 provided in the Solution Provided post?
  5. Do you have the same result when trying to print from another program?
  6. If this is a new issue, have you recently done any updates to your operating system or the program that you are printing from?

 

Thank you.

How do I set my printer for a larger font, as a standard. My new system prints so small I can barely read things. On some prints it will let me adjust print size, but I want to set the printer to print larger on everything.

How do I englarge my printer font

HP Recommended

When I print copies from my Hp Touchsmart 520 PC to my HP 4620 OfficeJet, the letters come out to small, to read. How can I enlarge the letters on my copies?
