About This Feature
Overview
WPS Print is the built-in document output feature in WPS Writer for sending the current file to a printer and checking page layout before printing.
Core tasks include:
- Print Document: Open the print window from the File menu, then choose a printer, copy count, and print range.
- Print Preview: Check page layout, margins, and page breaks before printing, and adjust the preview zoom level.
- Batch Print: Add multiple files in a separate window, then apply settings and print them together.
Common use cases include printing contracts and notices, reviewing papers and reports before output, and handling multiple files in one print session. The feature helps reduce layout issues before final printing and improves efficiency when several files need to be printed. For quick access, you can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+P.

Google also notes that pageless documents may appear differently in print preview. | Notion desktop does not print pages directly; the usual path is to export content to PDF first and then print the exported file. | Acrobat Reader provides File > Print, preview, page range selection, orientation settings, and duplex printing when the printer supports it. |
