Paint is kind of a useless program for most stuff. I have linked to the Irfanview web site below. This is a nice small free program. Be sure to also download and install the plugins. Open the program, click to open the pattern you wish to print. Click File, click Print... and now you see your pattern in the small window near the top right of the window. Look just to the left and there are options to enlarge prior to actually printing off your pattern. You may need to play a little to get comfortable but Irfanview is not really a hard program to master and it has many features if you look around. Here is a link that might be useful: Irfanview

Susan, I am not sure if any of my suggestions might be able to help but I have used dalelabs.com and mpix.com. Great quality from both. If you are doing just prints then I might suggest mpix over dale. z_joe

It depends on how the picture was taken? What resolution? What megapixel is your camera and did you shoot at the highest resolution? How large do you want your print? Screen resolution and print resolution are very different. I could view a print on line at 72dpi and it would look great. Don't try to print at that resolution tho. It would be best to print at 300dpi but I've been pleased with 5x7s at 250dpi. Walmart digital printing (on line) will warn you if you try to upload a photo and print at a size and resolution that's less than optimum. Monica

I'm not sure I get what you mean by "copy from a machine". You mean - print a page that you're looking at on your computer ? It depends on which program you're printing from. In a program like MS Word, you can set the font size for the whole page or just part(s) of the page. In a browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox, there are settings for font size that are global and affect every page and thus how large the words will print out. For many programs like browsers or say, Adobe Reader, you can also set in "Print Setup" the scale or zoom factor to 100%, or 90%, or 80% or the like, which will affect the size that pages print out. And some of them will keep the last setting. So if you change the scale to 150%, and a week later decide to print again from that program, it will again print at 150%. If I'm not sure how things might turn out, I often use Print Preview, usually (in Windows) in the the "File" drop down menu to see how a page is going to print out. Also many printers have a "Show before printing" setting which gives you one last chance to see what's going to happen.
