|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On Android, WPS lets you open the print flow from the upper-right menu, choose a printer, enter print preview, and adjust common settings such as color, copies, and single-sided or double-sided printing. | Microsoft Word lets users preview a document before printing and choose copies and other print settings from the print pane. | Google Docs and Sheets let users open File > Print and adjust settings such as margins or page orientation before printing. | Notion supports exporting pages or databases as PDF, and browser pages can be printed; desktop printing usually depends on exporting first. | Adobe Acrobat lets users print PDFs and adjust printer selection, duplex printing, grayscale, and scaling options in the print dialog. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS keeps printer selection, preview, and common print settings in one Android spreadsheet flow. Distinct: It is well suited to quick spreadsheet printing on a mobile device. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft's official guidance here focuses more on desktop document printing, with less emphasis on an Android spreadsheet print flow. | Compared with WPS: Google's official guidance focuses on browser-based document and spreadsheet printing on computer, rather than a native Android spreadsheet print path. | Compared with WPS: Notion often relies on PDF export or browser printing, rather than a direct spreadsheet print preview workflow. | Compared with WPS: Adobe is centered on PDF output and PDF print controls, rather than mobile spreadsheet print preview as the main scenario. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS is a practical choice when you want to preview and adjust spreadsheet print settings directly on Android. If your work is centered on browser documents, knowledge-base pages, or finished PDF files, the other products may fit those scenarios better.
