If you have more than one printer, you can select which printer you want to print from using the drop-down menu next to "Destination." You can also select "Save as PDF" to save the print preview as a PDF so that it can be printed later.
By default, Google Chrome will print the entire web page, but it may take several pages of print paper. You can see what will be printed on which page in the print preview window. If you only want to print some pages, select Custom in the drop-down menu next to "Pages." Enter a range of pages in the field below the drop-down menu (e.g, 1-3) or enter the page numbers you want to print separated by commas (e.g, 1, 4, 5).
By default, Google Chrome will only print 1 copy. If you want to print more than one copy, type the number of copies you want to print in the field next to "Copies."
Use the drop-down menu next to "Layout" to select the page layout. You can select "Portrait" or "Landscape." Portrait prints the pages from top to bottom. Landscape prints the pages from side to side.
To print using color ink, use the drop-down menu next to "Color" to select Color." Select "Black and White" to use black ink. Color prints can use up a lot more ink. If you are mostly printing text or images that don't require color, consider printing in black-and-white. Use color only if you need it.
If you want to set any additional print settings, you can find them under the More Options menu. This allows you to select your paper size, adjust the size of the print, print multiple pages on one page, turn off footers and headers, and more.

Select additional print settings (optional). Use the drop-down menus next to the options below "More Settings" to select any additional print settings you want to select. The options below "More Options" are as follows:
- Paper size: This allows you to select the size of the paper your printer is using (e.g. letter, legal, tabloid, etc).
- Pages per sheet: This allows you to select how many pages you want to print on each sheet of paper. Printing multiple pages on one sheet will reduce the size of the print.
- Margins: This allows you to adjust the size of the margins in the print.
- Scale: This allows you to adjust the size of the print.
- Options: Click the checkboxes to toggle headers and footers on or background images.
