Most programs do not print a stretched or resized font.
Print is too dark or smudged
These are possible solutions. Try one or more of the following:
Make sure the ink is dry before handling the paper
Remove the paper as it exits, and let the ink dry before handling.
Make sure the Quality/Speed setting is appropriate for the paper type loaded in the printer
