Smile! Because I think you are not totally alone. I was able to replicate your problem. Well, not identical but quite similar. Please see the attached PDF (2 pages) and I will explain what I did. I don't know why but I decided to go into my printer (HP Laserjet 4L) advanced properties and change the Print Quality from the default 300X300 DPI to 150x150 DPI, assuming this would change the _quality_ but not the size. To my surprise, what I got with 150x150 was what is shown in first page of the attachment. I then changed back to 300x300 and I got what you can see in 2nd page of PDF, not quite what you get but close. Another surprise. When printing a second, third, Nth time, without making any changes in printer's properties, the printout comes out at the proper page and text size. So, the tiny print happens only once. And yet another surprise. I went back to 3.71.03 and repeated the process of first switching to 150x100 dpi and the back to 300x300 and, this is the surprise, I got exactly the same that with 3.72.04, first a too large print, then a tiny one and, from there on, normal ones. So, although I have not exactly duplicated what happens to you, I must admit there is something wrong (at least strange) with TB's "print engine", for two reasons: - I always get the correct size when printing from TextPad, Word or other applications, no matter if I set up 150x150 or 300x300 dpi. - The "Print Quality" advance setting (150x150 or 300x300) in my printer is actually for *Graphics*. So yes, there is something strange, peculiar or however you want to call it, with TB's 'print engine'. -- Best regards, Miguel A.
