| Capability Summary | Supports opening the print workflow from File > Print inside a presentation, checking print preview, setting printer, copies, and range, and printing in single-slide, multi-slide, or handout layouts. | PowerPoint supports printing slides, handouts, notes pages, and outlines, with print range and layout options. | Google Slides supports printing from File > Print and also offers Print settings and preview for handout landscape layout or printing with speaker notes. | Notion can print a page directly in the browser, while the desktop app requires exporting to PDF before printing, so it is more page-oriented than presentation-oriented. | Acrobat Reader focuses on printing PDFs and supports page range, preview, and multiple pages per sheet for exported presentation files. |

Overall Conclusion
If you want to preview and print a presentation directly while editing it, WPS offers a straightforward path for everyday presentation output on macOS. If you need more specialized notes-page, outline, or PDF-focused print workflows, PowerPoint, Google Slides, or Acrobat may also fit specific needs.
