CSS and Windows DPI Setting.

[Kiran Math]

Problem : Printing from web browser (IE ) with different window DPI setting
( Font size).

I have a very simple css file.
.A1001{FONT-WEIGHT: normal;FONT-SIZE: 12px;FONT-FAMILY: Arial}
.A1002{FONT-WEIGHT: normal;FONT-SIZE: 15px;FONT-FAMILY: Arial}

Now when I use this CSS file in the HTML page and print the page from IE
6.0 ,
notice the following :

- If the windows is using DPI setting - Normal ( 96 DPI)
The printed page has a bigger font size.

-If the windows is using DPI setting - Large (120 DPI)
The printed page has a smaller font size.

Questions -

How to make the printed page consistent ?

Thank you

It sounds as though you may need @media print. Have a look at:

Thanks . Yes that helped when I used a different stylesheet for printing and
using physical dimension like points, mm, etc. instead of px as
96 px is not always 1 inch (72pt).

Thank you,

For IE6 there are 4 new properties which query the DPI and whereby one can
zoom the page
