Hi @Pilot-Bob,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

Thanks for reaching out! If your HP ENVY Photo 7855 All-in-One Printer is printing your Excel spreadsheet at a smaller size than expected, but it looks fine on screen, you can enlarge it when printing by adjusting the scaling settings in Excel's print options.

Option 1: Use Excel's Scaling Feature

1. Open your Excel file.
2. Click on File > Print.
3. On the Print Preview screen, look for the Scaling option (just below the printer selection).
4. Choose one of the following:
   • Fit Sheet on One Page – if your content is too small, this will stretch it.
   • Custom Scaling Options – click this to manually set:
     • A larger % of normal size (e.g., set to 120% to enlarge).
     • Or specify how many pages tall/wide you want the sheet to print on.
5. Once adjusted, click Print.

Option 2: Adjust Page Layout Before Printing

1. Go to the Page Layout tab in Excel.
2. Under Scale to Fit, adjust:
   • Width / Height to "1 page" to stretch content.
   • Scale % manually to a higher value (e.g., 125%).

This helps enlarge the printout while keeping it centred and readable.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
