My ol' eyes thank you in advance. :-)

Long ago I began using screen shot captures for receipts and saving as a file. No real reason to print it out on paper and I have a record of it.

First, stop using Chrome.

Second, use Adobe PDF. You can more easily archive receipts and make them searchable.

In addition, you may also redact information when you print stuff out.

Safari on MacOS.....

I’d like to help, but more information is required and I suspect your dilemma is self-imposed.

You have great advice in comments thus far.

But you fail to mention your OS platform.

I’ve been in tech/IT for decades, slow to adopt iOS, working primarily in MS, currently in Win11. I save ‘receipts’ in several formats, but it depends on the origin of the receipt.

Paper receipts: I prefer to scan or take a photo with the iPhone, ESPECIALLY the thermal receipts (which fade to nothing over time AND heat sensitive). Text searchable in iOS. I email them to myself.

Online purchases: ‘Receipt’ is a misnomer. I prefer to take ‘snips’ (MS Snipping tool) which are screenshots. I also email them to myself for a history/archive.

Admittedly, I’ve been slow to adopt digital storage, but that worm is about to turn fully digital.

I, too, have aging eyes and understand the issue, but don’t understand the unstated need to adhere to ‘printing’ (the presumption is PAPER).

I recommend moving forward - as I’m doing; that’s not just a metaphor - by focusing on digital archiving (conditional upon your OS platform, obviously), which offers you more options, including the ability to digitally zoom/enlarge.

To be frank, mention of IE is alarming. Choose a stable/secure browser, ensure your OS is modern/updated (please don’t share that you’re using Win7 as to why ‘IE’; NOT what we want to hear in this security environment, ESPECIALLY if you’re doing online purchases) and don’t get stuck on ‘print’ for browser usage.

Ok, I have a recommendation for Firefox, which I think I can look at on my wife’s computer where she works.

Outside of that, uh, does anyone here have relevant / current experience with other browsers? Brave? Opera? Others?

For now, at least, it’s Windows 10 / 11 as the OS.

This is what I do.

Go to your the Print section in your web browser.

Select Microsoft Print to PDF.

Click on the print button and save where you want to save the file.

All you are doing is creating a PDF file of the webpage.

I use Firefox (with NoScript) in any situation where I worry about privacy or security. I only use Chrome for things like video streaming, and I only do that on a separate computer!

That being said, I use Firefox’s ability to “print” to a PDF file to save receipts etc. Also, the Print Preview function is pretty useful before actually outputting the PDF file. I would not save receipts etc. as images unless I had no other choice.

Depending on the exact PDF display software, you can often copy the text part of the displayed PDF file and paste it as text into a spreadsheet, email, etc. This can be handy for financial purposes. And, of course, you can print it on paper.

P.S. Adobe turned the PDF standard over to ISO in 2007, so now there is lots of good PDF software available.

Why are you using Chrome? Firefox is still better, even though losing functions with its Quantum version. Ctrl+p or File>Print brings up:

You can also hack FF to enable multiple tab rows.

IE11 has no support from Microsoft. They even be removed it from windows 10/11 in an update. “The company detailed that it will release a Microsoft Edge update to permanently disable the legacy Internet Explorer desktop app on select versions of Windows 10 in February 2023”

Firefox and Vivaldi are good web browsers. Both are based on the open source Chrome. Chrome itself is to kludgy.

I use Firefox and the print preview allows ‘Fit to page’ or a percent so you can increase greater then 100%. Then you could take your screenshot.
Press F11 on your keyboard will remove the toolbar so you have a bigger screen. F11 again will return the toolbar.

I did these modifications to Firefox to make it work better then the default look. https://davidswebsite.com/Firefox_tabs/firefox_tabs.html

I use Foxit PDF Editor as the editing is as simple as using Word as an example to edit text. Adobe is not as easy plus costs far more.

I use ‘SnagIt’ to capture text from images and use ctrl, alt, T to start the capture.

After installing, de-cluttering, and now having used Brave some...

The print preview display of the page to be printed is not “life size”. It appears all Chromium based browsers have this small page preview. (displays 7” tall on my 24” 4:3 business monitor)

Drat!
