With my old printer I used to be able to enlarge a copy without using the computer it was a Canon. My new Canon won't let me do this. Are there any reasonably priced printers that will let me do this please.
Any help gratefully received.

It perhaps depends on what you would call 'reasonably priced'. A number of years ago I gained an old Brother laser printer (for free) that would enlarge and reduce copies in 1% increments and I used this feature extensively in some design work I do and when my colour printer failed, wanted an inkjet printer that would do the same. It took a lot of digging and reading manuals (that often don't specify such details very carefully) to find one that worked as I hoped.
I ended up with another Brother and been very happy with it - it's an All-in-One printer that will copy, scan, fax etc. - mine is currently £250-ish and is model MFC-J4540DW. But looking at the Brother site, they appear to have other slightly less featured models at lower price points too - like the Wireless A4 4-in-1 personal printer - MFC-J1010DW which is £142.80 SRP - but probably available for less. Looking at the manual, it does appear to do custom enlargement/reductions from 25% - 400%.1 -
For your printing needs, consider checking out printers with a feature called 'standalone copy enlargement.' Brands like Epson, HP, and Brother offer models at reasonable prices that allow you to enlarge copies without the need for a computer. Give those a look, and hopefully, you'll find one that fits the bill. Happy printing!
