Windows 10 mail printing on one quarter of page

Today, I printed an email from Windows 10 Mail.  The Mail app version is Version 16005.13426.20316.0.  I printed by clicking the "..." at top right, then selecting Print.  I was printing to letter sized paper.  Print preview looks normal.  However, when I print, the print is compressed into 1/4 of the page, and is so tiny as to be illegible.  The entire page prints in the top left quarter of the paper.

Printing a test page is normal.

Print from Word is normal.

I have tried more than one emails from Mail, and they print the tiny version to the top left quarter of the sheet.  It happens whether I print on one side or double-sided.

Here is the print preview (normal).

Here is a scan of the paper sheet.  The actual printout is only in the top left corner.

    While I do have an HP printer I don't think it's an HP problem... You see, if I try to print from my Windows 10 Mail I get the same results as everyone else is noting - extremely small print.... HOWEVER if I go online to Outlook.com I can print the email received perfectly fine... Thus, it's my belief that this issue resulted from something in the recent Windows 10 update...

    I just hope it's fixed pretty soon!

    You didn't have to purchase Outlook, if that's what you did. You could have just typed "Outlook.com" into the Search bar. That is Outlook on the WEB from where Mail is getting all its stuff. It prints well from there. But maybe you get extra benefits from the purchase, I don't know.

    Thanks. After installing my email accounts on Outlook I am now able to print full page emails. Same computer, Epson ET-4750. Outlook works Microsoft Mail does not.

    I have spent an hour with Microsoft and then was told I had the wrong person and then he said he would contact me to the proper person - 40 minutes and no response - now I get an email saying this:

    We sent feedback on MAIL. Nothing from MS. Thought they read these posts here. Same issue for so many, starting at the same time. And nothing from MS? Exact same issue. Upper left corner in very tiny font. Is Microsoft doing anything or reading these issues? Lots of folks have the same problem, starting at the same time, but no MS involvement or resolution?
