    My screen is 1400x900 and when I printed a page it was too small. How do I make the page bigger?

    You need to provide more information.

    What are you trying to print?
    What OS?
    What program are you using?

    ...etc. Don't ignore the people with the free answers.

    Zoom in with the lower right magnifying glass. Or File-Print Preview and zoom.

    If you increase the font size in your browser (ctrl + scroll wheel), does that change the size of the font in your printed page?

    Ctrl+scrollwheel is the shortcut for the zoom function.

    Are you sure you're setting the print preview settings correctly? Set "Shrink to Page" to 125% or 150% and it will print out larger.

    What website are you trying to print from?

    Dougx,

    With less information comes less answers. I have to agree with those above. What kind of printer, what web page? Is it a PDF opened in IE? Your not going to get any help with 3 word or 1 sentance answers.
