The following is for use with Internet Explorer 7, but may be the same or similar for other versions or web browsers.
For emails or general web pages, one way is to highlight the area of print you want printed, Right click on the highlighted area, or go to menu bar at top and select “File”, then click on “Print preview”. You can also just right click on the page and choose Print Preview, or go to your menu bar at the top of your web browser, click on "File" then "Print Preview”, without highlighting everything.
Find the drop down box "As laid out on screen" and change to "As selected on screen", this should make a big difference as to what you see will be printed out, but if you still need to change it further, then change the “Shrink to fit” setting to change it to increase or reduce the image size that you want to use, something like 90% (there is a custom option at the bottom of the list if you need to set something unique in between what's listed) and see how it changes the print size of what is to be printed out and choose a percentage that looks and works best for you without cutting off text/image somewhere. This will make it larger or smaller when printed out as seen on the preview print window depending on what you choose.
Another way that usually works to make the print larger when printing internet stuff & emails is by changing the view size on the screen to a larger size in your web browser (this is separate from your other setting you've already setup). Go to the menu bar at the top (i.e. Internet Explorer), click on "View," then "Text Size" then select a size like "Larger" or "Largest" (something higher than what you're currently set to.)
Sometimes adjusting the current window's magnification (lower right corner of screen or Ctrl button + scroll wheel on mouse) can have an affect on print size.
The only other method is to copy & paste the text into a text editing software like Word and adjust the text size there. If you're using a text program, then you simply adjust the size of the text to a 12 or 14 point, or larger, font size (adjust depending on the font and size you need) and that should do the trick.

You can't increase the font size with your printer. It does not have an option for that. You need to increase the size from the source of which you are getting the data from before you print
Example: if you wanted to print a word document, you would go to the taskbar on the top and change the font settings prior to printing.
Or do this
Open up the what you want to print
Left click and highlight either part or the whole area you want printed
Right click the highlighted area and click print preview
Change the box "As laid out on screen" to "As selected on screen" doing this will let you print all or part depending on what is highlighted
In the box Shrink to fit, change it to increase or reduce the size font that you want to use
Click print, and go to Page Range, and make sure you add a dot to SELECT
Click print
