Snipping Tool, W10, Print Preview

[Khandro]

This is a great tool but I can't figure out how to see in advance what I am going to print. I can only press 'print' and hope for the best. A piece of text may come out on two sheets split down the middle or just printed a map which did the same. Anyone know how to adjust the size of the snip to fit on an A4 sheet, please?

Save the snip as a file (jpeg or whatever).

Then open the image in an image viewer program and print from that.

Or if you have an office program open the word processor and import the image and adjust the size and print from that.

As VHG says save the file as a jpg and you can open it in Paint.

Type 'paint' in the W10 search bar and access it from there.

I paste it to a Word document and adjust the sizes from there before printing.

I always do this, for one main reason.

If you print from an image viewer program they often try to print a "photo quality" so use a lot of ink.

If you print it from Word it prints it as a document so uses less ink.

Mind you the photo quality will be worse if you print from Word (still ok but not photo quality), so it depends what you are going to use the image for.

Thanks all. It's pretty obvious when I think about it, I was simply using the on-screen 'print' command.

You can do it directly in the Snipping Tool.
