Print font size settings

I print out a lot of web pages. The font size in Safari is so small I can hardly read it. How do I increase the font size of the printed page.

iMac G4, Mac OS X (10.4.5)

There are two ways, but I think the best for your purposes would be to
go into the Main Safari menu, top left, and select "Preferences."

Under "Advanced" make sure Universal Access is checked.
Then change the "Never use font sizes smaller than . . . "
to an increased font size. If it's 11 now, try 12 and 14 to see which one works better for you.

This will make both the fonts on your screen
and the fonts printer out larger.

Thanks for your suggestion. I tried it and the change was miniscule. I bumped the font size to 18 and it increased its size from about a 10 to a 11 (Ariel) Then I tried Times, then Veranda. What it did change was the discussion message board. That went haywire so I switched to Firefox to read it. Somethings I prefer in Safari but at least Firefox gets the job done.
Thanks again.
