<chapter id="usage-print">
<title>Printing with Evolution</title>
<para>
This is a very short chapter, because printing with
<application>Evolution</application> is not a complex task. Like
most GNOME applications, <application>Evolution</application> uses
the gnome-print system, so if you've used any other GNOME
application to print, you should be able to print from
<application>Evolution</application> immediately.
</para>
<para>
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.
</para>
<sect1 id="printpreview">
<title>Print Preview</title>
<para>
<guibutton>Print Preview</guibutton>, appears both as a button
in the printing dialog and as an item in the
<guimenu>File<guimenu> 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.
</para>
<para>
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 (<guibutton>Fit</guibutton>) or match the
width of the page and the window (<guibutton>Fit
Width</guibutton>). If you're satisfied with the way it looks,
click <guibutton>Print</guibutton> to send your document on its way.

<title>File or Printer?</title>
<para>
The printer selection window, shown in <xref
linkend="print-dest">, lets you choose the format for
printing— at this time, only <guilabel>Generic
Postscript</guilabel> 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
<guilabel>lpr</guilabel>) 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.

<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
When you're ready, click <guibutton>Print</guibutton> to print,
<guibutton>Preview</guibutton> to have a look (or another look)
at the preview, or <guibutton>Cancel</guibutton> to cancel the
whole deal.
