I have my control panel display settings set to 125%, and after reading forums now realize that is a problem.
However when I change this to 100% my printer output enlarges so that it is not satisfactory.
My question is how do I get my print specs to work properly with the Control Panel display set at 100%?

Have you tried opening the specification and saving it again?

I have opened a OE$ spec, renamed(saved as), and then tried print preview, with no different results.

I am now starting to question whether the spec was written(at time of install) with the control panel display setting set to 125%. Would this make a difference?

Osis: You are likely correct: The spec was created on a system with large fonts enabled and "juggled" to make it work.

This all relates to the WYSIWIG (What You See Is What You Get) nature of Windows printing.

Is there an "easy" Fix for this?

Probably not.
