    Print Image is too small and unreadable.
    I am encountering a recurring problem while working with HP laserjet printers. The page is generated and prints out properly in a PDF format and can be successfully printed. But when it is printed directly to an HP Laserjet printer (generally a model 1018 or 1120 Deskjet), the printed image is printed so small it is practically unreadable.

    I have been recommending a method of printing the files using PDF files, but it is cumbersome and a little confusing for the user. Is there a simple fix for the problem without using the PDFs?

    Thanks.

    The PDF isn't printing properly to just that printer? Or is it to any printer you send it to? Go into print properties and make sure the file is set at 100%. PDF's are the best when getting a file from someone else, because if you don't have the exact version of software they used to create the file... then it could convert fonts and margins. PDF's don't change no matter what.. they are printable document files (print only, no making corrections to it unless you have the professional version of adobe reader). Hope this works, if not let me know and we'll troubleshoot some more.
