Like + most GNOME applications, Evolution uses + the gnome-print system, so if you've used any other GNOME + application to print, you should be able to print from + Evolution immediately. + + + 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 displays an image of 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 (Fit) or match the + width of the page and the window (Fit + Width). If you're satisfied with the way it looks, + click Print to send your document on its way. + + + + + + + + + + + + File or Printer? + + The printer selection window, shown in , lets you choose the format for + printing— at this time, only Generic + Postscript is available— and whether to print + to a file or to an actual printer. If you choose a printer, + you'll be asked for the printer command (probably + lpr) which your system uses. If you + choose to print to a file, you'll need to decide upon a + filename. And of course, you'll want to choose a number of + copies, and whether to collate them. + + + + + + + + + If you're printing a message that's more than one page, you'll + have the option of choosing which pages to print. If you're + printing a calendar entry, you can decide what range of dates to + print. And, if you're printing contact cards, you can decide + whether to print only the selected cards, or all of them. + + + When you're ready, click Print to print, + Preview to have a look (or another look) + at the preview, or Cancel to cancel the + whole deal. + + + -- cgit v1.2.3
