Print size is controlled by the setting in View / Size -- and then the larger/smaller, etc. This also controls the printsize in Outlook Express. Internet Explorer default settings will frequently override other browsers, especially ones based on the IE engine. IE is still the vast majority choice for browsers. And, while many people do not know how to change display settings, some of them do know how to make "some" settigs changes through File/Edit/View, etc.

Personally, I rarely dink around with the default screen resolution; however, I do edit my Appearance in display settings -- working with a combination of "larger" there and then, finetuning it through View/Size.

People with vision handicaps frequently are aided by a tech support person to find Internet Options / Accessibility and check "ignore font sizes specified." I sometimes use that for sites that keep fonts unbelievablly tiny (what would appear to be about 8pt type if they were in printed form AND are not affected by View/Size). Unfortunately, this blows out other sites and renders them unreadable as text overlaps, etc. I know how to turn off/turn on these settings; most don't. Once set, always set.

Readability is therefore controlled by a combination of Display properties: screen resolution and appearance choices, plus by View/Size AND Accessibility options. Printing is controlled by View/Size for browser settings, whether it's printing a website OR email.
