printing pages

Hi all -

I've been absent for a while, so I hope I can come back in with more
queries....

I have been developing my "Portsdown Hill Geology" site, and it is getting
so big, i decided the best way to proof-read was actually to got back to
that funny idea of paper and pen :-o
(ok, so it's old tecnology, but i can read better from print than screen).

But I seem to have a problem with printing out;

I have a css-print page (code given below) that successfully supresses the
printing out of the navigation bars (I use a table structure), which works
fine.
The alteration of the font-family also works (my screen shows Comic Sans,
the print shows arial).
But the print is always tiny, whatever I do to the font-size.

Can anyone tell me why would that be - as I want larger font on my printed
pages.

The site is at
http://www.bbm.me.uk/portsdown

But the home page doesn;t use the print style sheet - try
http://www.bbm.me.uk/portsdown/PH_030_Where.htm

for a page with the style sheet.

(I have yet started checking for cross-browser compatibility and
accessibility issues, but i will.
The site grew from a plan of 5 pages to about 100 and i'm trying to get the
content done before playing with the html, which is a pain as i want to
develop my web design skills - but the geology distracted me!
So if there any geologists out there interested in palaeogeography, rocks,
fossils, the cretaceous period.....other comments also welcome :-)
How to write for geologists *and* "the interested layman" is also a
challenge - but not one for this list).

Sorry to witter on -

many thanks for any help -
