Hi,

Acrobat, Mail, Safari, IE and BBedit under Panther print at 1/16 of full
size on the lower left of the page regardless of the printer selected. You
can even see it in 'Print preview'. Any ideas? It's really p*ssing me off.

Haven't heard of this before...

10.3.2 update isn't far off though

Paul,

have you got anything but Standard in the Preset popup menu in the Print
dialog box? If so, choose Standard and try that.

If you already have Standard there, or if changing it back to Standard
doesn't fix it, go into Layout in the popup menu which starts as "Copies
& Pages" - does it list show 16 in the Pages per sheet popup menu? If
so, change it to 1 and see if that helps.

If it keeps defaulting to 16, as a workaround try changing it to 1 and
choose Save As... from the Preset popup and call it 1-up or something.
The Mac OS X print system should remember the last used preset - you can
change other attributes on a one-off basis (number of copies, pages to
print, etc) and it will revert to the saved status of the preset at the
next print job.

Hope that's of use

Sean
