Press Ctrl+P (PC) or ⌘ Command+P (Mac). This action will bring up the Printing window. You'll see a preview of the printed version of the page.

Choose a printer. If the desired printer isn't already selected, choose it now.
Select the pages to print. If you don’t need to print all pages shown in the preview, specify the page range you want to print in the blank field(s) under “Pages.”
- To access additional settings, such as duplex printing (if supported by your printer), click More Settings at the bottom and adjust accordingly.
Click Print. This action sends the webpage to your printer.
- You also have the option to save the webpage as a PDF.
Safari
Access the page you wish to print in Safari. To open Safari, click on the blue, red, and white compass icon usually found on the Dock.
- If you’re printing an article with ads (and prefer to print only the text and images), consider enabling Reader Mode. Click the button with four horizontal lines on the left side of the address bar, if available for the current site.
Press ⌘ Command+P. This action opens your Mac’s Print dialog window, displaying a preview of the print.
- Websites are optimized for screen viewing, so the printed version may appear differently. Scroll through the preview to review the print-out, and then proceed with adjustments if necessary.
Choose your printer from the “Printer” drop-down menu. It may take a few moments for your printer to appear in the list.
Click Show Details to access more printing options. This option is located at the bottom of the window.
Choose which pages to print. If you don’t want to print all the pages shown in the preview, tick the box next to “From” under “Pages,” then specify the page range.
- For instance, to print pages 1, 2, and 3, enter “1” in the first box next to “From,” and “3” in the second box.
Select additional preferences. Before printing the page, review the remaining print options to ensure you have chosen or deselected all desired options.
Click Print. This action sends the webpage to your printer.
Microsoft Edge
Launch Microsoft Edge and open the page you wish to print. You can typically find Edge in the Start menu.
- If the article you're printing contains ads, consider enabling Reading View to exclude ads from your printout. To do this, click the open book icon located on the right side of the address bar at the top of Edge. Note that Reading View may not be available for all websites.
Press Ctrl+P. This will open the Print dialog box, showing a preview of the printout.
- Websites are designed for screen viewing, so the printed version may differ slightly. Scroll through the preview to see the final printed document.
- Printer options and menu names may vary depending on your setup.
Select your printer from the drop-down menu. It's located at the top-left corner of the window.
Choose which pages to print. Click the “Pages” drop-down menu and select your preferred option.
- To print the entire page, choose All pages.
- To print only the current page, select Current page.
- For custom page selection, choose Custom range and specify the range, e.g., 1-3 for the first three pages.
Adjust size and margins as necessary. If parts of the page are cut off in the preview, choose Shrink to fit from the “Scale” menu to ensure the entire page fits the printing area.
- To increase white space around the printing area, select Moderate or Wide from the “Margins” menu. For narrower margins, choose Normal or Narrow.
- For additional options such as double-sided printing, click More Settings at the bottom.
Simply click Print. This action directs the webpage to your printer.
