Just discovered this yesterday. I ended up printing the email I needed from my phone, so this is definitely a Windows issue. Thanks for posting this as I was tearing my hair out checking settings and nothing was out of line.
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.

Yes. A simple announcement by MS could have saved many of us hours of frustration. Not to mention releasing an update without thoroughly testing it. Still crickets.

2020-12-17T17:39:20+00:00 It's working fine now. I don't see anything in my Windows Update history, so no idea what fixed it.
I never got a reply from Microsoft, but a post on the HP forum informed me that it was fixed.

Feels like I just woke up from a bad dream - yes, it seems to be fixed!!
Thanks everyone!
