Windows 10: Shrink image option missing in printer properties

Last month, I took an image to be printed, and as it was too big for its purpose, I was able to click on a box on the print page, to print at 50% (other percentages were available).

Today, following the exact same process, I am wanting to shrink an image on the print page......but the option to print at any other percentage has completely disappeared!!!!

NOTHNG has changed....using same PC, same process (even switched from selecting print on word toolbar, to right clicking and selecting print) same software, no updates have been installed, same printer....everything! Where has the box gone that contains these options?

Have I woken up in a parallel universe or something???

I suggest you to follow the below steps how to go to printer settings.

• In the search box type “control panel”.
• Click on “device and printers”.
• Then you can right click on your printer and then click on properties, change accordingly.

Text Box Printer Properties

A small amount of trial and error will let you change the name like so:

• Control Panel
• Devices and printers
• Right-click the printer
  
  
  
  
  
• Left-click Printer properties
  
  
  
  
• Click Change Properties
• Type the desired name and click OK.

 

No option to shrink volume

Hi,

The OEM partition is a company created partition wherein the copy of your Windows and other software are stored. In the event you need to reinstall your Operating System or restore to factory settings, you don't have to use an installation disk. You may
delete the OEM partition if you don't plan to restore your device to factory settings anymore. However, we suggest leaving it as is.

The Primary partition is also the same with OEM partition. The only difference is we create it during Windows fresh installation.

You have two ways to create a partition:

• Clean Install Windows 10
• You may use 3rd party software to manage your disk partition without reinstalling your Windows.

Let us know if you have other concerns.
