What am I doing wrong? Printing maps for CTC

I need to print maps for CTC from the Child's Geography CD, but they are really too small to read. They only fill 1/3 of a page. What am I supposed to do to get these to print in a more manageable/readable/usable size?

Mine printed as a full page. Are they printing as a word document or as a picture where you choose the size?

It's a pdf file for me and the map page reads at 80.2%.

Under the little printer icon, see if your "page scaling" is set to: Shrink to Printable Area
And...."auto rotate and center"

You should have a landscape as opposed to a portrait map.

Annaz did a super job of helping already, and she's given you some good things to check. I think you can see some of the pages printed from CTC's Child's Geography book on p. 29 at this link too - though some are the Travel Logs...

Maybe that will help give a visual of the size. HTH!

Okay, thanks. Mine were half that size. I had to use a different browser to open the PDF file and that helped. Thanks!
