Hooked up Printer to the Mac through Airport-Printing very small

I just hooked up a new MacBook Pro today and hooked it up to a network through a Airport Extreme Base Station. I hooked up a Canon Pixma MP510 printer to the base station.



Everything seemed to go fine with this setup until I printed. I printed a web page from Safari and also a word document from Microsoft Word for Mac. Both of them came out very small. The web page took up only around a half of the page or less vertically and horizonally. It's like the whole image was compressed 100% almost to the point that it was impossible to see pictures or read the text. It was the same way with Word. I have another setup where I have a different printer through a base station and on a MacBook Pro and have never had this problem. Any idea of what's causing this?

    Are you sure that you aren't printing 4 -up?
