Hoopdee "Dupe" and other observances

From today's paper:  "The Energy Department says U.S. households spent an average of $2,912.00 on gasoline, or almost 4 percent of their pretax income, the highest percentage in 30 years."  ON WHAT PLANET?!?  Using the Energy Department's 4%, that $2912 translates to a pretax income of $72,800.  There are no absolute income numbers published that I could find for 2012.  The most current I located was for 2006, which listed approximately 68 million households had less than $58,000 for pretax income.  I'm going to let some other financial whiz extrapolate for current year percentages.  In essence, many households are below $72,000 annual income, thereby increasing the gasoline outlay above 4%.  Proof again that numbers can be made to say whatever the accountants wish them to say. Car commercials 1:  Subaru shows a mom who's very proud of her safety conscious son.  While son is driving with a friend, son is not lured into doing stupid stuff.  Preparing to turn into the driveway, the camera shows a dry, sunny street.  The camera in the yard shows everything as being wet.  Son exits the car and the scene is once again sunny.  (I don't do drugs). Car commercials 2:  The northeast Ohio Ford commercial shows many vehicles with a distorted Ohio license plate, but, wearing my Polish CSI cap, I determined the plate to read, 6NX 9704.  Question?  Why distort the number and why is the same plate on different vehicles, while other cars and truck have no plate at all? TeePee commercial:  When are we going to see the blue bears actually USING the toilet paper?!? GACK-OH:  What the #!+*! is up with the lizard and now a pig selling insurance?!?

NEED A LITTLE HELP HERE...Please

Feel free to pass this along to Marissa Mayer, CEO of yahoo!.  If I had an email for her, I'd send it directly, but alas, poor Yorick, I do not. 
I've been a loyal user of yahoo! mail since the day my fingers hit the keyboard.  Nary a problem with the program.  However, a few days back, I re-printed an email from my in box.  Quickly, I noticed how tiny was the size, as opposed to the initial printing.  After uttering the proverbial, "huh," I spoke to my local pyooter guru about it, wherein he quickly responded, "Dunno, Dude!"  At least he was being honest.  I then began an Internet search.  I'm always amazed at how many options are available that have no relation to my search.  Aren't YOU?  I took a short break.  Next, I located a help line phone number for yahoo! help..............WRONG!  If you've never done this, give it a try.  Soon enough, you'll understand the definition of stress and the urge to scream.  The help(?) center is in a secret location that even Jeff Probst hasn't yet found, probably named, Keeponhopinyanky.  Mix an indecipherable accent, delivered by a man who night owls, reading those radio commercial disclaimers at a rate of 147 words per second.  Got that?  I'm not done.  Picture all of this...PLUS...noise is coming from what sounds like 94 people all talking at once, while under a capsized bath tub.  NOW, we're on the same page!  He and I took turns saying, "HUH?".  I had to hang up.  Listen UP, all you corporate high tech money savers!  We'd like talking to people who speak our language and can relate to the nuances WITHIN our language!  Phew!
The only sensible suggestion I got from the online sites was to highlight the desired print area...right click while on that area, then click print preview and make sure "as selected on screen" is selected...in the box Shrink to Fit, change to increase or decrease to desired font size...click Print...go to Page Range...click Select...click Print.  This worked, BUT for that session only.  After printing, the teeny size returned on the next page I wanted to print.  I could not find a way to make the change permanent.  ARGH!  I even tried doing a System Recovery, but that had no effect.
Can someone please advise how I can reset the software to print actual size again?
