About This Feature
Overview
Print and Preview is a built-in spreadsheet feature in WPS Office for Android. It lets you check page output before printing, choose a printer, and adjust common print settings in one flow.
Core tasks include:
- Print preview: open the preview screen before sending the spreadsheet to print.
- Basic settings: adjust color, copies, and print mode from the preview workflow.
This feature is useful when you need to review spreadsheet layout on a mobile device, prepare paper materials, or print a worksheet while away from a desktop computer.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In Android spreadsheets, WPS lets you open Print from the top-right menu, choose a printer, enter print preview, and adjust 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 options; the official guidance mainly describes desktop and web document workflows. | Google Sheets lets users open File > Print, adjust settings such as margins and page orientation, then continue to print from the browser flow. | Notion supports exporting pages to PDF, and pages can be printed in a browser; the desktop app generally requires export before printing. | Adobe Acrobat lets users print a PDF directly and adjust options such as double-sided printing, grayscale, and scaling. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides a direct mobile spreadsheet flow that combines printer selection, preview, and common print settings in one place. | Compared with WPS: the official guidance focuses more on document printing in desktop or web environments than on an Android spreadsheet workflow. | Compared with WPS: the official guidance centers on browser-based printing rather than an in-app Android spreadsheet print flow. | Compared with WPS: printing is more export-oriented, with less emphasis on direct spreadsheet preview and print steps on mobile. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat is centered on PDF printing and output control rather than an integrated spreadsheet editing and printing workflow. |

Overall Conclusion: If you need to print spreadsheets directly from an Android device, WPS offers a continuous path from the print entry to preview and common settings. Microsoft and Google provide established print workflows in desktop or browser contexts, Notion is more export-focused, and Adobe is better aligned with PDF printing tasks.
