Did it just print at the top of the page?
You could try changing your "page set up" to landscape rather than portrait, which is the default?

when you press 'file' you find page set up, print , and print preview...if you go to 'print preview' at top it has picture of the paper , portrait and landscape click to see which fits best.

OK, I'll try, though not an expert!

At the top of your Internet box on the screen you should be able to see a grey bit that says File Edit View Favorites Tools Help

If you click on File, one of the things that appears should be Page set up
Click on that and you should see Portrait (with a spot by it) and Landscape (with an empty circle) Click on the circle and then try printing again.

OK, we'll try something else.
Give me the details of what you're trying to print and I'll see what happens for me. Pm me if you want.

Couldn't you print it out the normal size and that take it to a photocopy shop and get it enlarged?
