Issues with Paint double the size of my print image

Question

Paint is doubling the size of my image for printing. I can see that I am not the only person having this issue. I spent 5 hours yesterday with two different chat people and neither of them resolved the issue. 7099091820 this is my case number.

Hello Denise Fancher, welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

I understand your situation. Don't worry, please try these steps:

• Open your image in Paint
• Click File (top-left)
• Hover over Print and click Page setup
• In the Scaling section at the bottom:
  • Select Adjust to
  • Set it to 100 (should read "100% of normal size")
  • Make sure it's not on "Fit to page"
• Click OK, then test print.

If still too large:

1. Click Image → Resize
2. Choose Percentage (not Pixels)
3. Set both to 50
4. Click OK
5. Repeat the Page Setup > 100% steps above and print

I hope this finally solves it for you.
