Hi there! I see you’re having trouble with Tiny Print app printing the text too small on your Mac running OS X 10.15. Let’s figure this out together.

Just to get a better idea:
- Are you noticing the text is small only when printing from Tiny Print or from other apps as well?
- Have you already tried adjusting any print settings before printing?
- What type of printer are you using?

In the meantime, here’s a good step-by-step approach you can try to fix the text size issue:

1. Open the print dialog in the Tiny Print app: When you go to print your document, a print settings window should pop up.

2. Check for any scaling or sizing options: Look for terms like “Scale,” “Scaling,” “Fit to Page,” or “Actual Size.” Sometimes the default setting may shrink the content too much. Set scaling to 100% or choose “Actual Size” if available.

3. Print Preview: If available, use Print Preview to see how the content will look. This helps verify if the size is appropriate before printing.

4. Adjust text size within the Tiny Print app: If the app allows text size adjustment before printing, increase the font size on your document before hitting print.

5. Reset printer preferences: Sometimes the printer driver settings on your Mac can affect print output. Go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners, choose your printer, then open Options & Supplies and see if you can reset or check default preferences related to print scaling.

6. Try printing a test page from another app: For example, open a TextEdit file, type some text, and print it with similar scaling options. This can help determine if the issue is app-specific or printer-related.

If these steps don’t solve the problem, let me know exactly what you’ve tried, and we can explore more advanced settings or check if there might be a software update for Tiny Print or your printer drivers.

Does this sound good to start with? Are you ready to go through these steps?
