Operation Manual

Printing
Quick printing
To quickly print a document or drawing, click on the Print File Directly icon on the Standard
toolbar to send the entire document to the default printer that is defined for your computer.
Note
You can change the action of the Print File Directly icon by sending a document
to the printer defined for the document instead of the default printer for the
computer. Go to Tools > Options > Load/Save > General and select the Load
printer settings with the document option.
Controlling printing
For more control over printing, use the Print dialog by going to File > Print on the main menu bar,
or by using Ctrl+P. The Print dialog (Figure 227) has four tabs where you can choose a range of
options, which are described in the following sections.
Note
The options selected on the Print dialog only apply to the printing of the current
document that is open in Draw. To specify default print settings for LibreOffice, go to
Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Print.
