I'd never learn anything without you guys.
Apparently, the print size is governed by the settings in IE. See this 
article:

I experimented with this, and it works. With both IE and OE set to 
"Largest", the email prints in the largest font size. Changing the read 
size doesn't affect the print size, no matter how intuitive that may 
seem to be.
In the last 10 years or so I've probably printed 4-5 emails, so I'm not 
sure what you guys are up to, but that's another story.
