If you mean on the screen, open System Preferences > Displays. Click Scaled and choose one that suits your needs.

Document printout size When I printout a pdf file on my Mac, the document is smaller than when I printout the same document on a Windows computer. The Mac printout has a 1 1.2 inch left margin. There is essentially no margin on the Windows printout. I prefer the larger printout. Is there a setting on the Mac to adjust the printout margins or size?

Printing text from any program (Pages, Preview, Safari..) is printed as blank space, after update to MacOS Big Sur Hello, I have just realized if I want to print any text from any program in my Mac (Pages, Preview, Safari etc.), it is printed as a blank page. Even if I change color, font, size etc. However, if I make a picture (in Gimp) from it, it is printed succesfully. Also any other pictures (even those which contains letters - such as scans etc.) can be printed as well. All these problems occured right after I have updated my Mac to OS 11.1 Big Sur. I have tried to reset the printing system, checked font book but still nothing which is "text" can't be printed. I assume it is problem with the latest update because other computers can print with same printer without any problems. Does anybody have any idea or same experience, how to solve this problem? Is there any MacOS driver which allows to print even text, not only pictures? Thank you. This is wierd and annoying.
