Unable to increase font size when printing on textedit. I am trying to write a letter. I am able to increase font size on document . But when I print, the font is tiny. Please , how do I fix this font problem so I get decent printed copy? Thanks in advance
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.7
Check the format of the document in TextEdit. It must be Rich Text to change font styling.

Do you have the same Font Size issue when printing from another Word Processing application ?
From the Format menu, choose "Make Rich Text."
TextEdit is primarily a text editor, not a word processor (but can do both).
A text editor doesn't have any formatting associated. It is just plain text primarily used for writing code.
If you want to write documents in TextEdit, you must use Rich Text Format.
Building on previous suggestion
TextEdit >> Setting
Rich text or Plain text ?
Still doesn't change print correctly. I tried to do a screenshot but... I do see settings- font: plain text or RTF. I can't change those. I did inherit my husband's Mac in August. Although I'm the administrator, perhaps there's something wrong and presents it doesn't allow me to change anything. Thanks for your help.

Then, that would confirm to me
TextEdit is configured to use Pain Text
Then change from Plain Text to Rich Text
I am not clear - sorry.
The font on my document is set at 24 font. But will only print as a 14 font. Thanks
