Hi @Justplainjane,

Welcome to the HP Support Community

 I'd like to help!

I undersand the printer is printing in a large font.

To assist  better-

1) Does the copy print out the same way? 

2) What's the application you are trying to print from? Have you tried printing from a different application or devices? 

While you respond to that , try and use the scale to fit or resize option to reduce the font size.

Change print settings from the app you are printing from.

1. Open a document, photo, or webpage, click File, and then click Print or click the Print icon  to open the Print window.

2. Open the printing options. The button or link name depends on the app you are printing from.

   • Windows 10 Photos app: Click More settings at the bottom of the settings list.

   • Microsoft Word: Click Printer Properties.

   • Paint and WordPad: Click Preferences.

3. Click the tabs on the top of the window or click Advanced to access available settings for your printer.

   

 Scale or resize the printout: Print to fit on different paper sizes, scale to fit a selected paper size, or change the percentage of the original size that prints under Resizing Options on the Features or Effects tab.

Also, refer to -HP print settings guide (Windows, Mac) | HP® Customer Support
