155499 2003-06-26 23:40:00 I am trying to enlarge a small graph pattern to full page size. I can enlarge it on the computer, but it still prints out at the original size. I have and Epson Perfection 1250 scanner and a Canon s330 printer. I've tried using the print-to-page option and anything that looks likely to do it, but no go. Is there some software that I can use or what? I'm not sure if the scanner should be used to enlarge it or the printer.
Thanks, Black

I'd recommend that you download Irfanview, a small free image manager that allows basic resize/resample cropping, and filters.

Use irfanview to resample (using the lanczos filter for best results) to the size required, then use irfanview's file > print... menu. Irfanview's print menus has easily found and adjusted options for changing the layout, positioning and size of the image when printed. You'll want to select either "fit to page" or "best fit to page"

good luck
