Google Maps Suddenly Sucks

Why can't I print big maps anymore? That's my beef with Google right now. I made the switch to Google maps quite a while ago, and I did it for one reason...printing big maps. I am a map guy, not a text directions guy. Yahoo always gives a little tiny destination map that is all but useless, but with Google maps, I could easily get a highly detailed map that would fill a printed page.

Not any more. I typed in some directions today, and hit print from the file menu, and got no map at all, just text. I hit the little print button on the screen, which popped open another window with, guess what, a tiny map. It would print, but tiny maps are useless to me.

Get a clue Google. People use your map service because they can print good maps. Why have you taken this feature away?
