How can I generate a print preview using Google Chrome?

Does Google Chrome have a Print Preview feature? It doesn't seem to appear in the main menus. If it does, how can I activate it?

There's no Print Preview in Google Chrome. You can find discussions about this topic in numerous threads on the Google support site.

The best way of getting any kind of print preview is to use a virtual PDF printer, and just print what you want as a PDF. That way you don't waste any paper and you can see exactly how the printed document will look.

Another option is to use the "IE Tab" extension ~

and then use IE's "print preview" from within chrome.

You can do this now.

To force your page into print preview mode:

  1. Press Command+Shift+P (Mac) or Control+Shift+P (Windows, Linux, Chrome OS) to open the Command Menu.
  2. Select Emulate CSS print media type
