My printer is suddenly printing in a font so small I can hardly see it
Anything I print that is not from the Internet or email is fine. Any and all saved documents etc print as they always have. But suddenly anything from the Internet or any emails that I print are so small I can hardly read them.

Then try reading Fix printing problems in Firefox
I think u have to reset Firefox printer setting at 1st in the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. Then in the Search field, type print.print_ printer. After dat right-click on the print.print_printer setting and select Reset then at the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button and then select Exit..,
