“Why is Printed Text Smaller than Onscreen?”
 
By default, NoteBook prints a page exactly as it appears onscreen, including how the text wraps.  If you print a Notebook that has a very wide window, NoteBook has to scale the text in the printed output to maintain the same text wrapping.  You can turn off this scaling in NoteBook’s printing customization options.  Choose File → Print to reveal the Print sheet, then in NoteBook’s custom printing section choose the “Conform to selected paper size” text wrapping option to disable scaling.  If you’re running Tiger, choose “NoteBook” from the Print sheet’s Options popup to see NoteBook’s customization options.
