I don't know why this is happening but when I print from my Canon i950 printer the print is tiny, barely readable. I'm using the larest drivers for OS X.

Is there a place where I can change the default font size that it prints?

I don't have this problem when I use it on my PC.

I guess print center in Jaguar is the one to blame..

Although I don't have the sweet Canon i950, I face the same problem. In some apps.. especially Safari or TextEdit, my HP DeskJet 932c gave me small text output; but no such thing if I use Camino to print the same website.

On TextEdit, I have to pump up the font size in order to see a bigger font size on the prints.

I have not noticed this problem so far with the same printer. What app are you printing from?

It's when I print from either Safari or IE.

There was a KB about this... Try changing the window size before printing. I can't remember if you're supposed to make it larger or smaller, but try both. Also make sure you are printing at 100% in Page Setup.
