Printing an email from Outlook can be a daunting task for some people. Some have reported difficulties in getting email printed and not seeing all the controls. In this article, we will discuss a step-by-step guide on how to print an email from Outlook.
First, log in to your Outlook account. Once you have logged in, open the email that you want to print. It is important to note that the message must be open. If you are just looking at the folders, you will not be able to see the necessary controls to print.
Once the message is open, scroll up to the top of the email. You will see a little “Actions” item. Click on it, and you will find the “Print Message” option. Click on it to start the printing process.
Once you click on “Print Message,” a printer dialog box will appear. It will display a window that has everything formatted the way it will show up on the printer. It will also automatically click on the “Print” button. You can choose your printer and other printing options from this dialog box.
If you are using an actual printer, the paper will start coming out of the printer. However, if you are using a virtual machine, you can choose to save the file in a folder on your machine. The file will be printed after it has been saved.
It is essential to note that the message must be in view for it to be printed. If you are using the reading pane, you need to click on the message to display it. The “Actions” item will appear, and you can scroll down to see the “Print Message” option.
In summary, printing an email from Outlook is easy. You need to have the message selected and at least have it in view somehow to print it. Click on “Actions,” scroll down or find the “Print Message” option, and then click “OK” or “Print” when the printer dialog comes up. Follow these simple steps, and you will be able to print your emails in no time.
