<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.

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 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.

<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.

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.
