2Using Your Printer Software
Desktop Printing
Desktop printing is useful when you have a number of documents to print at once, or when you have a document that is already formatted for printing on a particular printer. There are two methods to print documents from the desktop. To perform desktop printing, either:
•Drag the icons of the documents you want to print to the desktop icon of the printer you want to use.
OR
•Select the icons of the documents you want to print, then choose Print from the File menu. When the Print dialog box appears, select your print options, then click the Print button.
