# Printing with Evolution

This is a very short chapter, because printing with `Evolution` is not a complex task. Like most GNOME applications, `Evolution` uses the gnome-print system, so if you've used any other GNOME application to print, you should be able to print from `Evolution` 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.

# Print Preview

Print Preview, appears both as a button in the printing dialog and as an item in the File 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.

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 (Fit) or match the width of the page and the window (Fit Width). If you're satisfied with the way it looks, click Print to send your document on its way.
