Have been using printers for 6473826473218 years

Current works printer costs £46738264387214

Same problem

I just want to print an A4 documents to A3

If I gave that instruction to a chimpanzee it would assume i want A4 document to be enlarged to fill the A3 sheet

ONLY a stupid printer would print A4 document in the middle of A3 piece of paper

Yet they ALLLLLLLLLLLLL seem to do just that

The first printer company that can crack this money logic can have my next order for 46738216487321 printers

Anyone know how to print (AND ENLARGE) A4 document to A3?

Surely it must be there

The printer Im using is a £765843975483295 Kyocera but I have many printers I can do it on if someone can give me a clue

Thanks!
When will the "Edit" and "Quote" button get fixed on the mobile web interface?

    Do you have a print option of to fit?

    What are you trying to print? Word document, photo etc......

    On Word I'm guessing you'd change paper size of the document 1st before trying to print it.

  • It'll be in your "Printer Properties" or "Advanced" bit of your print dialogue box. There should be a "fit" or "enlarge" or something like that. Trouble is it depends on your Kyocera driver software, and I don't have one!

    The alternative is to change the paper size setting to A3 in your program, but that probably means you'll end up having to reformat it to fit the extra space.

    If your Kyocera printer driver doesn’t offer a fit to A3 option try printing to PDF or XPS first.

    CutePDFWriter and Microsoft XPS both allow you to set output paper size to A3, and to scale to paper size to A3.

    [FONT=&quot]Then open the PDF or XPS file and print that to the Kyocera printer[/FONT]

    My good old Macbook gives the options to select paper size, "scale to fit" or "Fill entire Paper" when printing, easy.
