The help page for trying to print my how-to worksheets.
If you aee using A-4 size paper scroll down for some instructions.BASIC
If you click on the image, it should open up a new window with the image.
You should be able to print or save from there.
WRONG SIZE, WRONG PLACE
If your printer dialog box has a feature for borderless printing, try that, it will help center and fill the page to the edges.
ANOTHER TRY
Sometimes the printer dialogue box doesn't work, so click on the image and drag it to your desktop, where it will become an icon.
* Then right-click on the icon to get a menu, choose print
* Now, you should get a preview with a small image and choose to fit the picture to frame. Choosing the fit picture to the frame should allow a full image to fill the page.
If it doesn't
* From the same preview, choose options (not print) then...
* click on printer properties, then
* Features then
* Next click fit the page or borderless
* Then ok
* Then print.
ANOTHER METHOD
If it does not come to the correct size, then save it to a word document. You can do this by right-clicking on the blog picture and choosing a copy image on it. Next, open up a blank word document and paste it to the word document. It should come to the correct size and orientation.
My newer coloring pages have an optional pdf file link (PDFs need you to download the temporary file and then open the temporary file and print from there, it is straightforward, just a couple of clicks.) You might try to convert the image to pdf. You can download a free word to pdf tool online if your program does not already have one. Or if the pdf is not working, try to convert to word. Often a pdf converter will do that.
IMAGE SIZE
If it still doesn't come in the correct size, click on the image you pasted into word- it will have some lines around it and circles in the corners. Put your courser on the corner circle and drag to enlarge the image.
IMAGE MOVEABILITY
If the image refuses to go where you want it to go on your page, then right-click on your mouse, choose the image settings on the list (near the bottom) choose to put the image in front of the text feature. Then it should go where you want it.
UNDO YOUR PRESET MARGINS
If the image does not want to fill the page or wants to go to the right side and part of it disappears, then the preset margins are in the way. If that happens, look to the toolbar at the top of your screen and click on the tab for page layouts. On the left is an icon for the margins; click on the icon and scroll to the bottom for the custom margins feature. Reset the margins to 0 and save (It will only affect this document). The image should fill up the page and print nicely.
