# Chapter 9. Printing with Evolution

If you've printed from most any other Gnome application, you should be able to print from Evolution without much trouble.

Whether you're printing a message, a calendar page, or a selection of address cards, you can choose to print directly to a printer, or save the print output to a postscript file. You can also use the preview feature to see how your printed output will look.

# Print Preview

Print Preview appears both as a button in the printing dialog and as an item in the File menu. In both places, it does the same thing: it opens a new window that shows you what would happen if you were to print the current message, calendar, appointment, or address card.

That window allows you to select which pages you want to see, and how close you'd like to look at them. Zoom in or out, fit the page to the window (the Fit button) or match the width of the page and the window (the Fit Width button). None of these buttons changes the way the page will be printed, but they do let you get a better look. If you're satisfied with the way the your paper looks, click Print to send your document on its way. If you'd like to change it, just close the Print Preview window and make the changes you want from your mail, calendar, or addressbook.
