How do I increase the size of this image so I can print it out?

I tried printing out this image but it came out too small. How do I make it bigger?

In the same Print dialog box that you showed, deselect the "Scale to Fit Media" and enter larger dimensions until the preview looks right.

 

The way the preview looks now, it looks like there's a lot of empty white around the image. That's why Scale to Fit Media isn't filling the page like it should. If you don't want all that empty white space, exit the Print dialog box and use the Crop tool to take it out.

Sorry - I was hoping for an answer. PS used to allow user to size their images. Now that option is not available?

Nothing has changed. In the current version of Photoshop (24.6), you’re still able to resize in the Print dialog box as shown at the top of this page.

 

The option is further down in the Print dialog box, so one thing to make sure of is that you’ve either scrolled down or resized the window. Because if the Print dialog box is left at its original small size and is still showing the top of the options list, the Position and Size options might be further down out of view.

 

If the Position and Scaled Print Size options are not editable, that means Scale to Fit Media is selected. Deselect it and you get access to manual sizing, either by entering values or dragging the handles in the preview.

No,I do not need to change printer settings. I need print options on the computer to allow printing only the magnified image.
