Print a page or part of an email message

You can print an entire email message in Outlook by opening the message and then selecting File > Print.

If you only want to print a single page or subset of pages, you can do that using the Print Options dialog box.

Important: Because of the numerous printers available, we're unable to provide troubleshooting information for specific printing issues such as the printer not responding, clearing the print queue, or cases where Outlook isn't able to find your printer. For troubleshooting information, see your printer's manual or manufacturer's website.
