| Chrome prints micro small when printing | MarP | 5/2/09 9:48 PM | Whenever I print something from Chrome, it prints it so tiny that a whole page prints onto only about 1/8 of the page on paper. It drastically shrinks the size of everything, as if I "zoomed" way out. If I open the same page on IE7 it prints totally |
| Re: Chrome prints micro small when printing | KenKen | 5/19/09 9:42 PM | This same thing happened to me and around the same time...what gives? Funny, because around the same time I had to start clicking show images for ALL my gmails again and show images does not stick...... |
| Re: Chrome prints micro small when printing | tjorrino | 5/20/09 5:05 AM | This is kind of important, isn't it? I mean, I can't even USE Chrome half the time because of this. How do you get their attention? |

| Re: Chrome prints micro small when printing | mortyla | 5/29/09 2:00 PM | Same problem. To work around, I cut and past the HTML to Firefox and print from there. |
| Re: Chrome prints micro small when printing | MarP | 5/29/09 8:38 PM | Weird: what works for me and what I'm doing all the time now is printing it to PDF995 Printer (internet download) which makes it into a PDF document and save it to my desktop. That gives me the right size etc and then I can print to my printer from t |
| Re: Chrome prints micro small when printing | tjorrino | 5/29/09 8:42 PM | The copy and paste the HTML method is kind of the obvious solution. Why even use Chrome then? They need to fix this. I can't believe it's not a big issue with them. |
| Re: Chrome prints micro small when printing | danielebert | 5/31/09 8:54 AM | I agree brothers and sisters! I won't take all these extra steps to do a pront - I tried chrome to save time (faster) and be more efficient. Otherbig gaps I think are form fill and spell check. It's gotten to the point that i go back to firefox to |
| Re: Chrome prints micro small when printing | rborloz | 6/1/09 11:28 AM | Same here. I'm shocked that this isn't being addressed!. Similar to MarP, I have Fine Print as a virtual printer but it can't do much with the condensed output. It appears, that they're trying to make sure that all displayed pages print on a single p |

| Re: Chrome prints micro small when printing | mortyla | 6/10/09 2:54 PM | Finally got the answer to our problems. I downloaded Safari 4, it's fast and it prints the way we want. Further, it has a good password function. TRY IT! |
| Re: Chrome prints micro small when printing | Ed Who | 6/11/09 7:39 AM | I see many of us have the same problem without a solution. I had grown to let the Chrome, but I have to open my old explorer to print everything. You can imagine how small mapquest directions are. :) |
| Re: Chrome prints micro small when printing | Shawn (Googler) | 6/12/09 2:59 PM | Hey guys, The more information provided, the better we all can observe commonalities to diagnose what's going on.

| Re: Chrome prints micro small when printing | tsygyg | 6/13/09 1:05 PM | Using a Lexmark x1150 with the most updated printer drivers and chrome 3.x I don't think the printer model is the issue here, it's chrome Every time I try to print something out it is about 50% of the original size, it is a big issue and is keeping |
| Re: Chrome prints micro small when printing | milkman81 | 6/14/09 8:33 AM | I been having the same problem - prints about 1/2 size on page.

| Re: Chrome prints micro small when printing | KenKen | 6/14/09 8:42 PM | Chrome version 2.0.172.31. HP C4250. Have IE8 also. IE prints fine, Chrome is about half the size with REALLY wide margins. |
| Re: Chrome prints micro small when printing | KenKen | 6/14/09 8:58 PM | So, I just installed the developer version. I did notice one thing. I have my printer default set to fast draft to conserve ink. I noticed that if I printed in normal mode, a gmail print job comes out fine. If I have it set to Fast Draft, I get wider |
| Re: Chrome prints micro small when printing | MarP | 6/15/09 6:08 AM | Thank you SOOOO much for posting this!! This perfectly fixes the problem! much obliged! |
| Re: Chrome prints micro small when printing | bboard | 6/15/09 7:09 AM | This answer helps. I was using the fast draft setting on my HP printer and getting a tiny page. If I use 'Normal' or 'Fast Normal' the printed page is good, but still about 15% smaller than I get with IE. I would like Goggle to fix this. |

No need to change your printer default. After clicking Print, I changed properties / print quality from default fast draft to Fast Normal and it pri |
| Re: Chrome prints micro small when printing | SDinjens | 6/17/09 3:32 PM | Came here with the same problem. I guess the suggestion works, though I'd like to note: 1. It's a workaround, not a solution (I still want to use my Fast Draft setting!) 2. Margins are still rather large IMHO. Thanks for the workaround though! |
| Re: Chrome prints micro small when printing | Shawn (Googler) | 6/17/09 6:30 PM | Guys, thanks for all the teamwork here and thanks KenKen for posting helpful advice for others to see as well. The additional information help and we'll be looking into it. |
