trying to print at 200%
I have an HP Photosmart & I have scanned a quilting design into my computer..... my quilting book says I'm supposed to "Reproduce at 200%" so....when I try to print it.... with no scaling..... I've changed the top line to 200% but it has printed out even smaller than the original, bleah! Can anyone give me a hint, or should I give up & take it to town & have it enlarged on a photocopier? Thanks!

i've always scanned into the computer----sized it on the computer- then printed the size i want- (the size i have it on the computer) that's the reason for scanning it-so you can size it- otherwise you could just print with out scan- it's easier though to just go to a copy shop- (sometimes)
but you should be able to size it on your computer.

Our office copy machine will only copy up to 120%. If I want larger I enlarge 120%, then take that copy and enlarge 120%, and so on until I get the size I want. Your printer may have some default in it that doesn't allow you to print larger than a certain percent.

I too have a HP photosmart. Don't use it for copying pics tho. I found out that u can't enlarge on this 1. The one I had before could, sooo next time I'll be more diligent as to the functions. Have found out, thru trial & error, that if u enlarge on the 'view' of the document 1 or 2 times, the test square will be 1 inch.
