-gschem can output PostScript files suitable for printing by using **File→Print...**.  This displays the "Print..." window.
+Printing schematics can be carried out by using **File→Print** to access the "Print" window.
-Here, you can choose the paper size and orientation to use, and what area of the schematic or symbol to print.  There are three options for the "Type" of print:
+Here, you can choose which printer to print to, and access various other printer-related settings (depending on what your printer supports).  You can also **Print to File" to generate a printable PDF, PostScript, or SVG file.
-  * If "Extents with margins" is selected, everything visible will be printed, with a margin automatically added on all sides of the page.
+To preview what the schematic will look like when it is printed, click the **Print Preview** button.
-  * "Extents no margins" also prints all visible objects, except without allowing any margin.
-  * With "Current view", only the objects currently visible in the schematic view area of the [[main window]] will be printed.
-Output can be directed either to a PostScript file, or to a command (such as ''lpr'' on Unix systems).
