It seems that only in very few places on the web can I resize my text,

I do this often, because most pages print edge to edge, which is hard
to read, so I print 2-up (two shrunken pages, side-by-side and rotated,
on one sheet of paper) to mimic columns. But if the print is too small,
I try to enlarge it before printing. Sometimes it works; most times it
doesn't.
Is there some CSS thing that either helps or hinders the print version
taking the same resized text as the screen version? Although my reason
for discovering the failure is not common, I suspect that people who
enlarge text on the screen will want it larger on paper, and I don't
want to get in the way of that.
Interesting question. It is especially pertinent if you are thinking
about using "Zoom" layouts, which make it even easier to enlarge text in
ways that don't break a page into an unreadable mess. (1)
Imagine letting people switch to a zoom layout and then print from that.
This is a scenario that calls for no print style sheet, and having the
zoom sheet set for type="screen, projection, print".
Another scenario suggests having no explicit print style sheet, or one
that makes absolutely no font-size declarations.
