print size is enlarged - how to reset

1. HP Photosmart C3146 All in One

2. Windows XP

3. No error message -  I used the disc to make it work

4. None that I remember - I ususally use this printer to make pictures for the kids to color.

5. I am trying to print an exchange lable for Amazon - but the printer is somehow set on enlarging the screen.

Please use plain text.

Re: print size is enlarged - how to reset

If it is trying to fill the whole sheet basically, one of the print settings is probably check marked in the box for 'fit to page' which tries to stretch it to reach the borders on at least 2 sides. If instead 'print at actual size' is selected, then it prints well at the actual original size. 

 

This document covers information regarding settings for specialty items, but should help you find what you are looking for:
