Have you tried scaling it to the paper size when you print it?

[mat1912]

yes, it wont seem to do it ! just thought screenshot would be an option but im thick on things like this lol !

If you want to continue using a screenshot then open an empty document in a word-processor program (e.g. Microsoft Word, Works Word Processor or OpenOffice Writer) and paste the image into that. You could then adjust the size of the image to fill as much of a page as you want, probably changing the page orientation to landscape if you want to fill the whole of a sheet of A4, and print it from there

^^^ you can also use some text editors, e.g. wordpad, that allow images to be inserted in a page if you don't have a word-processor.

hi all
sorry to interrupt,
but i was looking at that google street map last night.
to save an image, just click on file top left of the google screen, then click save, and then click on save image.
i saved lots to my documents and the pics came out full size and really clear when i looked at them later.
you could then attach your pic to an email and send it off to your parents..?
