HP DeskJet D4160, prints too small

I have a similar problem as "Judys".  My HP D4160 printer did fine for years, but now all of a sudden, it's printing the font size 2

for the last six months.  I have uninstalled/reinstalled software, and I

updated drivers to fix the problem.  (Updates locked up my printer.) I removed the updates.  I was unable to find the software where I can change the font size.  Can you tell me where this information and how can I solve this problem?

Hi - a couple of things you can try:

-If you use Internet Explorer, click view, text size and to increase the size of the text to the largest (you will see the change on the screen, but it should print this way as well).

-If this does not work, take a look at this (HP Smart Web Printing) utility that offers HP.  I would recommend you install and use when printing on the web to see if you can get the results you're looking for.  You can download it, for free, here.

Hope that helps.

  • Microsoft Paint - Image is normal on screen but prints too small?

    Microsoft Paint - Image is normal on screen but prints too small?

    When I'm in the paint all my settings are the same that I use always and my image appears normal size on the screen but when I go to print I put it on the scale to fit on page 1 x 1 (so it's all about a piece of paper), but then I have print preview and the image is just a 1-inch picture in the upper left corner. I had done several times in the past and never had a problem. Why does the image offset? Also when I remove the scale down to 1 x 1 page it can tile the image on 4 pages. So if the image is the great whys it shrinks it do much when I as a single piece of paper? Help!

    Go to the options of paint by clicking on the top left of the menu bar icon (the one to the left of the 'Home' that looks like a sheet of paper lined w / an arrow next to it).  Choose 'Properties' from the menu drop down.  Keys to your measurements of paper (ie. 8.5 x 11 "or 8.5" x 14) depending on the direction you have chosen - portrait or landscape (under print options: Page layout) which should solve your printing problem.  Unfortunately, the program seems to use some default preset every time that you open the Paint program.  That's how I came across your question;  I'm trying to find how to change the default setting. During this time, I guess that we just have to continue to change it before printing.

  • HP Deskjet D4160 printer range: use a printer on a network.

    Well, I have a HP Deskjet D4160 printer. I installed on my HP laptop on windows 10 home. Now, I want to use the printer on both computers, but on a single network. I don't want to install the software of the printer on my main computer in my room. I have 10 home windows on my desktop in the bedroom. So, how can I get this done?

    You only usually one network at home, regardless of the SSID. Install the software on your in your room can connect you, or use Windows file and print sharing. Simply search the web file and print sharing. However... Sharing installed printer drivers for you.

  • HP Deskjet 1512 - Page too small / Unknown Error

    I just bought HP Deskjet 1512 all-in-one printer. Installation went normally, however, I can't print anything Windows Vista 32-bit. Here are the various error messages that I get:

    "An unknown error has occurred" - FireFox

    "DΘmarrer can't feel" - WordPad

    "DΘmarrer can't feel" - MSPaint

    "Page too small to print a line" - the notebook

    Another oddity is that WordPad will display only a single letter per line. Microsoft Word displays not only any text whatsoever, not even of previously, working document. Any attempt to print from MS Word results in nothing happens, not even an error message. If I uninstall the printer and then Word, WordPad and all previous documents, poster correctly once more. Only when the printer is installed I see these quirks.

    I tried everything and nothing has solved the problem. I have uninstalled/reinstalled the disks and drivers online. I used the Print and Scan doctor says all right. Checked all cables, rebooted, reconnected, crossed the 50 of the obvious things to check. As far as I can tell everything works; ink, printer, scanner, copy, etc.. I have made copies and scanned with no problem. Test maintenance pages also print without problem. I suspect that the problem is the printer drivers for Vista. For some reason, it says page is too small, so clearly I have paper loaded into the machine and selected letter size in the main tray.

    Is there something that will fix this problem? I may need to return to this unit and back to Canon.

    Finally, I returned the printer for a refund. Thanks for trying RnRMusicMan

  • hp deskjet 1510 printing too dark

    Hello

    As says the subject, my HP Deskjet 1510 printer is printing too dark. Does anyone know how to change this?

    Thank you

    Thanks for the reply.

    You try to print a photo, if so what program? If you print word documents, try printing in draft mode.

    I would like you open the printer from the desktop icon or go to Start> all programs> HP> Deskjet 1510> 1510 Deskjet series. The Printer Wizard, click the estimated ink levels> Services> print quality diagnostic report, not this dark printing page as well?

    Welcome to the Community Forum of HP.

    The provision allowing to adjust font sizes - in most cases, at least - is done at the application level.

    So adjust the display and scale printing, before you send the print to the printer.

    Most applications call this preset Print print preview function: print preview is available in the browsers, editors, and viewers like Adobe Reader documents.

    I'm not at all familiar with the Sumatra PDF Reader - maybe this PDF Reader does not preview before printing?

    Perhaps, if it is available, print preview does not offer the necessary adjustments to allow printing to adjust the scale or the size of the page as appropriate.

    I can offer the following: it may or may not be useful, although it may point you in a direction that helps you to find a solution to your dliemma with your player of Sumatra.

    Manage the print with preview output before printing

    Please, take a look at the section on PDF files.

    At the very least, you can consider the following strategy:

    • Enlarge an area of a page to the screen you need to print
    • Create a Snip of this region
    • Save the capture as an Image
    • Print only necessary as big Snip

  • DeskJet 3510: Print too large Deskjet 3510

    Lately, whenever I have print anything it is printing too big - margins are off page. I did the align printer and can't find anything in the settings of the printer for this affect where it prints the correct size - it is not set in landscape mode and is set to portrait, so I do not understand why it feels like landscape. Anyone know how to solve this problem.

    @Pita56

    Welcome to the Community Forum of HP.

    Most of the time, the size of the police - margins, the scale - and 'together General' that you print the page is managed in the application you are using at the time that you configure the print job.

    In most browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer), publishers of documents (Word, free) and PDF (Adobe Reader and Foxit) readers, this "setup" is run a program or a called subroutine print preview.

    You (in other words, the print job) can get into trouble when the scale of the Page does not match the study - maybe the margins are not (and must be) set "Fit to Page".

    Font sizes may be too small - or large - for similar reasons, but it can become a little more complicated than that.

    It is also true that certain documents and Web Pages are best printed in landscape mode in Portrait - and it is not always clear in glancing at the Page that is best.

    You might take a look at the following and see if the explanations and examples can help you sort through what is happening in your situation:

  • Photosmart 6520: Prints too small

    I'm more able to print a normal size postage label. I used to and now suddenly it prints so small that there is no way a factor could read them. Any ideas?

    Hi @Pattinyk.

    Welcome to the Forums of HP's Support. May be that the print settings need to be adjusted. You print what program postage labels?

  • My smaller websites, do not fill the screen. Print too small. Changing the font in 'Options' does nothing.

    I have downloaded Firefox and IE. With IE, my home page fills the screen and I can adjust the display size (police). Now with Firefox, the homepage (FOX News) is crumpled in the middle with very small print and I can't find hoe to adjust the display.

    You can use an extension to set a page zoom and the size of the default font on the web pages.

  • The printer prints too small fonts when I try to print a Web page.

    My new printer is Photosmart D110a. It is printing documents from Microsoft word, but when I try to print a document on a website, the font is so small that I can't read. How can I adjust the settings of the printer so that the font size is a 12? I don't think I have properly configured wireless controls, but I need to make a cloud of printing or things like that. I'd appreciate any help you can give me.

    OK, well, when you print, use file > print or Ctrl-P on the window that appears click Preferences, and then click the effects tab.  See if you print in Acutal size, like this:
