About This Feature
Overview
WPS Print on macOS is the spreadsheet output feature in WPS Office for Mac. It lets you send worksheet content to a printer and review the page layout before printing.
Core tasks include:
- Print a document: open the print dialog from the File menu, choose a printer, set copies and print range, and start printing.
- Print preview: check page layout, margins, pagination, and zoom before final output.
This feature is useful for routine report printing, paper filing, approval materials, and other spreadsheet output scenarios.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports printing from the File menu and provides print preview for checking page layout, margins, pagination, and zoom before output. | Microsoft 365 lets users print and preview from File > Print, with settings for copies, page range, orientation, and two-sided printing. | Google Docs and Google Sheets let users print from File > Print and adjust settings such as margins and page orientation before printing. | Notion supports browser-based page printing, while desktop users typically export content as PDF first and then print the exported file. | Adobe Acrobat lets users print PDF files directly and adjust options such as duplex printing, grayscale, and scaling. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS keeps spreadsheet editing, print entry, and print preview in one workflow, which is convenient when you want to check layout and print right away. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft also combines print and preview, but its guidance is broader across Office apps rather than focused on spreadsheet printing alone. | Compared with WPS: Google relies on a browser-based print flow, and printed output can vary depending on page mode and browser print handling. | Compared with WPS: Notion is more centered on page export and PDF output than direct spreadsheet printing workflows. | Compared with WPS: Adobe is stronger for finished PDF output, while spreadsheet content usually needs to be exported or converted first. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Print on macOS fits spreadsheet-first printing workflows well because it keeps preview and output close to the editing process. If your work is mainly browser documents, exported pages, or finished PDFs, other products may fit those scenarios better.
