Use Excel with your keyboard and a screen reader to print worksheets, workbooks, and selected cells. We have tested it with Narrator, JAWS, and NVDA, but it might work with other screen readers as long as they follow common accessibility standards and techniques. Keyboard shortcuts help you quickly print what you want, the way you want.
