# tiny print dialogue box

 * The print button opens a tiny print dialogue box in upper left corner. It is 
   not apparent that this needs to be expanded to see the print options and preview,
   and it is not easy to click on the corner and drag to expand. This is not very
   user friendly. Is there a way to get the print dialogue box to open in a more
   normal size? I am using Opera (which normally uses a new tab for its print dialogue
   screen), and the website is [http://fedwardsconsulting.ca/?page_id=92](http://fedwardsconsulting.ca/?page_id=92).
   
   Thanks

 * We just tested your page on safari, chrome and firefox. Since Opera is a standards
   based browser, we are confident it should work there as well.
    have you tried
   using another computer to see if the issue is not local to your local version
   and setup of Opera?
 * The print dialogue screen is not something the plugin can control, only trigger
   to open.
    what happens when you simply click on file > print and the print dialogue
   box pops up there`?

 * Thanks for checking into this. I did test on two machines, one running XP the
   other Windows 10, with the exact same result. I had also checked ^P which brings
   up a new tab in Windows 10 and a close to full screen print dialogue box with
   no borders or address bar on the XP machine. Neither laptop has a print dialogue
   box that looks like the one produced by Print-O-Matic. I also see that the print
   button works fine in Firefox on my XP machine (don’t have Firefox on Windows 
   10 machine).
    Thanks

 * I downloaded Firefox an Chrome onto my Windows10 laptop, and the print button
   works fine in both these browsers, as you also found. It just seems like a problem
   with Opera.

 * Just checking how your ‘list’ is doing. Have you had a chance to check why the
   print box is not working correctly in Opera?

 * [@fedwards](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fedwards/):
    I’m just zapping
   through this forum to check, if there are answers regarding the print-o-matic
   plugin. I tested the link you posted: [http://fedwardsconsulting.ca/?page_id=92](http://fedwardsconsulting.ca/?page_id=92)
 * And I see, that it works very well (I use firefox). How did you manage, that 
   the printpage closes, when you click the Cancel-Button in the print-dialog? On
   my page this doesn’t work 🙁 When I click “Cancel” in the print box, then the
   print page is still open, and I have to close it manually. [http://wordpress.webdesign-aus.koeln/](http://wordpress.webdesign-aus.koeln/)
 * Is there a way to let it close automatically, simultaneously with the print-box?

 * We can add the ability to control keeping the print window open or close after
   print/cancel to the next version. In the meantime, this is hard-coded into the
   plugin, and must be changed manually. How good are you at navigating javascript?

 * Hi Baden, thanks for your response.
    I’m fairly good in javascript, so I would
   give it a try.

 * Glad to see the close option was resolved. I notice that some programs will open
   the tiny print dialogue box in Opera, but then the window expands as soon as 
   the preview is loaded. Other programs will open a large print window in Opera.
 * I hope you can find a solution to the print window problem in Opera.
