About This Feature
Overview
Print in WPS Spreadsheet on Windows is the built-in output and preview feature for sending worksheets to a printer or exporting them as printable results while checking page layout before output.
Core tasks include:
- Open print settings: open the print preview window from File Operations > Print or with Ctrl+P.
- Print from the Home tab: start printing directly from the Home tab.
- Set print parameters: choose the printer, paper size, orientation, page range, color mode, pages per sheet, and scaling.
- Adjust margins: use preset margins or manually adjust them in preview and check the result in real time.
This feature is useful for printing reports, preparing meeting materials, checking page breaks, and refining worksheet layout before output.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports opening print preview from WPS Spreadsheet with Ctrl+P or the print entry, then setting the printer, paper, range, color, pages per sheet, scaling, and margins. | Excel supports File > Print to open print preview, review page output, and show draggable margins with print settings. | Google Sheets supports File > Print with margins, page breaks, headers, footers, orientation, and paper size settings. | Notion lets you export a page or database as PDF and then print it; the desktop app does not provide a native spreadsheet-style print panel. | Acrobat focuses on PDF printing with printer selection, duplex, grayscale, scaling, and page-size-related settings. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: You can move from worksheet editing to print preview in the same spreadsheet workflow and prepare output with worksheet print settings and margin adjustment together. | Compared with WPS: Excel also provides full preview and margin adjustment, with its guidance centered on the File > Print workflow. | Compared with WPS: Sheets works well for browser-based print setup, but it depends on a web environment. | Compared with WPS: Notion is more export-first for printing and is not a native spreadsheet print workflow. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat is better suited to printing finished PDF files rather than setting worksheet layout before output. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Print fits worksheet-based printing tasks where you want to preview, adjust settings, and output in one place. Compared with spreadsheet products, it covers the common print preparation flow directly inside the editing experience. Compared with Notion and Adobe, it stays closer to worksheet printing rather than export-first or PDF-first workflows.
