&lt;p&gt;The printer just prints what is on the screen or the part you select it to print (example: a section of an excel spreadsheet). Make your font bigger on the screen before printing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;DIV class=CommentText&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&amp;nbsp;as for the laptop dealies, customer service was very helpful for me. i spoke with them about my laptop order(which was still inside of the original build time), and they were happy to give me a free upgrade to next day shipping without my even asking. i think this drama about bad customer service and rediculous shipping times is WAY overblown. have some patience people... the issues are being experienced everywhere.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I wouldn't be so upset if I hadn't been promised time after time that my laptop was going to be shipped on or before the ESD. Now I am on my 6th ESD with another promise of 3-4 days &amp;amp; it will be shipped.&amp;nbsp; And I was informed by each CSR I talked to that no they wouldn't even think of upgrading me to next day shipping.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://en.community.dell.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=29048" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Dell Q2 Preliminary Results Released</title><link>http://en.community.dell.com/blogs/direct2dell/archive/2007/08/30/27617.aspx#28824</link><pubDate>Thu, 06 Sep 2007 15:06:53 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">e3197daa-ef0d-4a70-8402-29215ff9a0f2:28824</guid><dc:creator>Ryan Murphy</dc:creator><description>Its a shame you released those inspiron laptops with so many problems. Has to hurt to come in third for Q2 sales. Roughly 300,000 less than apple, and a 1.4 million less than HP. I like the new laptop line, however i canceled my order and will not order one for a while because I'm worried I'm going to get a rushed and defected laptop.&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://en.community.dell.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=28824" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Dell Q2 Preliminary Results Released</title><link>http://en.community.dell.com/blogs/direct2dell/archive/2007/08/30/27617.aspx#28804</link><pubDate>Thu, 06 Sep 2007 13:28:49 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">e3197daa-ef0d-4a70-8402-29215ff9a0f2:28804</guid><dc:creator>bec</dc:creator><description>YES PEACE&amp;nbsp; AND HOPE that my business can with stand a 4 month delay on a laptop that I was counting on as a start up tool....know what maybe I should move on and find a company that will back up their orders....how does that look for a bottom line I AM sure that a lot of others feel the same.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;What happens when ALL the dissatisfied customers that you have created DO NOT buy again from your company....AND customer service that people cant even understand is not good business either.&amp;nbsp; GOOD LUCK IN THE FUTURE!!!&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://en.community.dell.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=28804" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Dell Q2 Preliminary Results Released</title><link>http://en.community.dell.com/blogs/direct2dell/archive/2007/08/30/27617.aspx#28682</link><pubDate>Wed, 05 Sep 2007 23:19:19 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">e3197daa-ef0d-4a70-8402-29215ff9a0f2:28682</guid><dc:creator>Justin</dc:creator><description>&lt;H4 class=CommentTitle&gt;&lt;A class="" name=28043&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;SPAN id=_ctl0____ctl0____ctl0__ctl0_bcr__ctl0___Comments___Comments__ctl23_RawName&gt;iDell&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;A id=_ctl0____ctl0____ctl0__ctl0_bcr__ctl0___Comments___Comments__ctl23_NameLink title=iDell&gt;&lt;/A&gt; said:&lt;/H4&gt;
&lt;DIV class=CommentText&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;"The M1330 is not the thinnest notebook in the world. The MacBook is 2.75 cm while the M1330 is 3.38 cm. &lt;/STRONG&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;BR class=khtml-block-placeholder&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;I would not be surprised if they also had other inaccurate information on their PR."&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;wrong sir, Dell said it is the world's thinnest 13 inch notebook, pay attention to detail please, it will make everyone's life allot easier :)&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;Thanks&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://en.community.dell.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=28682" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Dell Q2 Preliminary Results Released</title><link>http://en.community.dell.com/blogs/direct2dell/archive/2007/08/30/27617.aspx#28515</link><pubDate>Wed, 05 Sep 2007 06:30:20 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">e3197daa-ef0d-4a70-8402-29215ff9a0f2:28515</guid><dc:creator>MoneyGuyBK</dc:creator><description>&lt;P&gt;All this Dell bashing on Dell ''Corporate" "Blog" ??? so sad indeed&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You know, Dell has the right to publish on their blog what they feel necessary.&amp;nbsp; when you click comments it is just that: ''comments about the blog'' not complaints about what is not related.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;I too ordered a 720 and it was delayed, which made sense as it was a new product.&amp;nbsp; the Laptops/Notebooks in question are delayed because of suppliers' incompetence delievering what is ordered, not Dell's desire to delay shipments.&amp;nbsp; These delays are not particular to Dell, and are evident with other manufacturers, especially when ordering one with LED screen.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;Please people, post your complaints in Dell Forums, post your Comments here.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;My reason for posting this is that for the first time tonight, I read a few blogs here, and it seems that 9 out of 10 comments are nothing but complaints.&amp;nbsp; Can we just try to stay the course.&amp;nbsp; There is a place for everything and there is a time for everything.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;* I for one am glad that Dell has blogged about their financials, being a Dell Stock-Holder it is great for me to hear about their success here firsthand.&amp;nbsp; Thanx Dell, Thanx Lionel and the gang.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Peace&lt;/P&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://en.community.dell.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=28515" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
