Excel Printing using the Print button

If you want to quickly print out the worksheet that is open in the Excel screen, you can do so by using the Print button on the standard toolbar. Clicking on this button sends the active worksheet directly to the printer, using the current print settings.

Use this button when you want to print a single copy of a workbook. Just realize that, unless you have previously set a Print Area, you are going to get all the sheets in the workbook that contains data, not just the sheet that is on the screen.
