Join David Rivers for an in-depth discussion in this video Printing files directly from Windows, part of Windows 8 Essential Training.
When you need to print a file you can save some time by printing it…directly from Windows 8.…In other words, you don't need to launch a program to open up the file and…print it from there.…A Word document does not need Microsoft Word to be printed.…Or if you're printing a photo, you don't need to open up one of the Photo Apps…to print it from there.…You can do it all from File Explorer.…That's what we're going to do right now by going to the Desktop tile on our…Start screen, give it a click.…Next, we'll find the Exercise Files.…Mine are right on the Desktop.…So double-clicking the folder opens up File Explorer where I see a list of my…different files and file types.…
Now some of these, of course, we would never print, a video file, an MP3 file,…but we might print a PDF, we might print one of these image files as well.…Let's go to Gallery1, for example, and just click it once to select it.…If we wanted to print this out for somebody, all we need to is go to the Share…tab on the ribbon and then choose Print from there.…
