About This Feature
Overview
Print is the printing feature in WPS Office for Mac Sheets. It helps you print the current worksheet to a local printer or review page layout in print preview before output.
Core tasks include:
- Open print settings: Open the print preview window from the menu or with a keyboard shortcut.
- Print from the Home tab: Start printing directly from the main toolbar.
- Set print options: Choose the printer, paper settings, print range, color mode, pages per sheet, and scaling.
- Adjust margins: Use preset margins or drag margin lines manually in preview.
This feature is useful for reports, schedules, checklists, finance sheets, and other worksheets that need paper output. Print preview helps you check layout first and reduce repeated adjustments before printing.

| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In WPS Sheets, you can open print preview directly and adjust the printer, paper orientation, print range, color, pages per sheet, scaling, and margins in one workflow. | Excel for Mac lets you preview worksheet pages from File > Print and make print-related adjustments before printing. | Google Sheets lets you open print settings from File > Print and customize margins, page breaks, headers, footers, orientation, and paper size. | Notion focuses more on page or database export. In the desktop app, pages or databases are typically exported to PDF before printing. | Acrobat focuses on PDF printing and supports printer selection, page range, page sizing and handling, orientation, and other print settings. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS keeps worksheet editing and print preview in one flow. Distinct: print options for worksheet output are grouped in a single preview interface for faster review before printing. | Compared with WPS: Excel also supports worksheet print preview, with its official page focused on preview and print adjustments. | Compared with WPS: Google Sheets uses a web-based print flow, and some browsers download a PDF before the final print step. | Compared with WPS: Notion does not provide a native spreadsheet-style print workflow for full-page databases in its desktop app. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat is better suited to printing finished PDF files rather than editing and printing worksheets in one place. |

Overall Conclusion
If you want to print a worksheet right after editing it, WPS keeps print preview, page checks, and print settings in a more direct workflow. Other products can handle similar output tasks, but the path may shift toward browser printing, PDF export, or PDF-first printing.
