Hi Maxie thanks for replying. i am running windows 7,64 bit. and yes i tried a test print and it came out ok.the heading was large (as you would want it) and the wording was good.so i can't understand why it prints small.

Good Morning try printing from Word Pad make sure it is set to 100% in the print preview page Do you have the software that came with your printer? As for EXPATSHIELD have never used it myself .

hello again Maxie.i tried printing from Wordpad and it worked.printed all sizes. then i tried again on Abiword,
and it came out small i then tried again set it 48 on the screen, and it came out about 12. so i am going to uninstall it and reinstall it see if that helps. anyway thanks for all your help.
