I am trying to get the date and time on a picture I took. I have figured how to select the photo. When I print it though it will not show up.

Any help appreciated

Try increasing the font size, sometimes that works.

How do you increase it on the camera?

You are printing direct from the camera and you're using the A330 camera I assume, what printer? if you list that info, someone here might know how it's done, David K for example.
You might have to print via a computer camera program if the printer can't read the exif tag info, some camera brands store stuff in attachment tag info that other devices like printers aren't aware of.

The camera can't pre-print the date on the photo itself, the image exif contains the info, once you select insert date in the Pict-Bridge menu on the camera on a selected to print photo it's up to the Pict-Bridge compliant printer from that point whether it happens or not, if it doesn't happen, it's a problem with the printer...from what I can see, looking at the info in the handbook for my camera. (check the Pict-Bridge settings in the camera carefully, make sure they are set properly)

How do you get to the Pict-Bridge settings?

It's all covered in typical sparse fashion in the A330 - A380 instruction manual. Have a read, beginning on page 145 on the DPOF settings and 147 thru 149 on the Pict-Bridge menu and settings....lots of luck.
