I have an HP3200 LaserJet and an HP 1220 DeskJet on this particular computer
and both are able to zoom the image before printing. I don't think it has
to do with inkjet vs. laserjet, but probably the specific printer and its
driver. I would bet that Staples, where Tod was printing the manual, has a
new enough printer that has the zoom feature. It's just a matter of getting
the operator to adjust it ... if they know how.
