About This Feature
Overview
Print is a built-in printing feature in WPS Office for Mac for collaborative spreadsheets. It helps you preview output, adjust print settings, change margins, and export as PDF before printing.
Core tasks include:
- Open print settings: enter the print preview window from the menu or keyboard shortcut.
- Print from the Home tab: start printing directly from the toolbar.
- Configure print settings: choose the printer, paper, range, color mode, pages per sheet, and scaling.
- Adjust margins: use preset margins or drag page borders manually.
This feature is useful for paper handouts, meeting materials, proofreading, and PDF archiving.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports print preview in collaborative spreadsheets, with paper size, orientation, print range, color, pages per sheet, scaling, margin adjustment, and export to WPS PDF. | Microsoft Excel provides Page Setup for orientation, scaling, paper size, margins, headers and footers, and print area settings for worksheet layout control. | Google Docs and Sheets support File > Print and allow page orientation, paper size, and margin settings; full page setup control depends on pages format in Docs. | Notion supports printing pages in the browser or exporting to PDF; full-page databases are typically exported to PDF first before printing. | Adobe Acrobat focuses on PDF printing, including fit-to-paper and percentage-based scaling for finished PDF files. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS keeps print preview and common print settings in one workflow for collaborative spreadsheets. Distinct: it supports both direct printing and PDF output in the same flow. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft offers more detailed worksheet page layout controls, but its guidance centers on worksheet page setup rather than collaborative spreadsheet output. | Compared with WPS: Google relies more on a browser-based print flow, and pageless or pages format can affect print results. | Compared with WPS: Notion is more focused on page export and documentation retention, with fewer spreadsheet-oriented print controls. | Compared with WPS: Adobe is stronger for printing finished PDFs, rather than editing and printing collaborative spreadsheets in the same workspace. |

Overall Conclusion: For users who need print preview and quick print setup in collaborative spreadsheets, WPS provides a direct workflow on macOS. Other products may be a better fit when the main task is advanced worksheet page layout, browser-based document printing, knowledge-base export, or finished PDF output.
