Print 2 pages per sheet but doesn't use all of page so print is very small

[Kierinda]

I am trying to print 2 pages per sheet. It does print this but doesn't make use of the full size of the sheet and as such, the print is very small. HP Envy Photo 6230. I've tried portait/landscape/actual size/fit to printed area but all have same issue.

Thanks.

One thing that can cause this result is having set a two-sheet option in Properties and then adding the Multiple sheet option.  The result is a "double" 2-sheet option setting. 

What?

The fix:  Set the Properties to Shortcut "Everyday Printing".

Select the Paper size but do not add the "sheets per page" option in the Properties menu.

Click OK to save changes in Properties and leave that menu.

Set the "Multiple" page option (sheets per page) in the main print menu.

Test by selecting a page range and print just two pages of your document.

Example - Adobe Reader DC /  2-sheets per page

Print_PDF_2_sheets-per-page_4
