[Trlog] Latest Manual

[Robert Tellefsen]

Hmmm
You may be right.  This is a hp PSC500, one of those copier/scanner/printer
units and the driver may just not have that feature.

I'd print it on my LaserJet but then no color.  Maybe I'll try the Staples
bit myself.

See you at the dinner.

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.
