I like to print the completed puzzle from my computer adn take it with me on the bus to work...to check myself..but now I get a small version, very hard to read, and not complete. Adjusting my printer mode does not help. Why has this been changed? Please change it back..
Thanks
The change was made by Google -- to get the full size, click on the puzzle to open and then save it wherever and print it from there. That should give you the full size.
