About This Feature
Overview
Print is a document output feature in WPS Office for Windows spreadsheets. It is used to send worksheet content to a printer or review the print result before output.
Core capabilities include:
- Print documents: Open the print panel from the File menu, then set the printer, copies, and range before printing.
- Print preview: Check page layout, margins, page breaks, and zoom before printing.
- Batch print: Add multiple files in one window and apply print settings together.
This feature fits daily report output, paper archiving, and multi-file processing. It helps reduce layout issues before printing and improves efficiency when handling multiple files in sequence. A distinct benefit is that printing, preview, and batch processing are grouped under a related workflow on Windows.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports document printing, print preview, and batch printing, with settings for printer, copies, and print range before output. | Word supports File > Print, page preview, copy selection, specific page printing, and color options when supported by the printer. | Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides support File > Print in the browser, and files can also be printed as PDF downloads. | Notion supports printing from the browser through File > Print, or exporting a page as PDF first; the desktop app does not print directly. | Acrobat supports PDF printing, duplex printing, grayscale printing, and page scaling options. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: In spreadsheet workflows, WPS keeps print, preview, and batch print in a closely related path, which is practical for handling multiple files in sequence. | Compared with WPS: The official page focuses on single-document print and preview steps, and does not describe a batch print entry in the same workflow. | Compared with WPS: Printing depends on browser-based steps, and spreadsheet printing continues through a web print flow or PDF download flow. | Compared with WPS: Desktop users need to export to PDF first for direct app-based output, so the print path is less direct. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat is centered on PDF output settings rather than native spreadsheet editing followed by batch printing in the same office workflow. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Print is well suited to Windows spreadsheet work that needs preview, single-file output, and multi-file output in one related workflow. If your work is centered on browser collaboration, page export, or PDF-focused printing, the other products provide their own official paths.
