<title>Printing with Evolution</title>

<para>
|
|
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.

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.

|
|
<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 shows you what would happen if
|
|
you were to print 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 (the <guibutton>Fit</guibutton> button)
|
|
or match the width of the page and the window (the
|
|
<guibutton>Fit Width</guibutton> button). None of these buttons
|
|
changes the way the page will be printed, but they do let you
|
|
get a better look. If you're satisfied with the way the things
|
|
look, click <guibutton>Print</guibutton> to send your document
|
|
on its way. If you'd like to change it, just close the
|
|
<guilabel>Print Preview</guilabel> window and make the changes
|
|
you want from your mail, calendar, or addressbook.

<title>File or Printer?</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The printer selection window, shown in <xref
|
|
linkend="print-dest">, lets you choose the format for
|
|
printing— <guilabel>Generic Postscript</guilabel>,
|
|
whether to write to a PDF file, and whether to print to a file
|
|
or to an actual printer in Generic Postscript. 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.

<title>Printing to PostScript?</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
PostScript is the file format used by most laser printers,
|
|
and in UNIX world is the easiest way to print to a file.
|
|
However, most systems running Microsoft Windows can't
|
|
recognize or handle PostScript files. You'll need to print
|
|
to PDF if you want to share your file with Windows users.

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 <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.
