Let’s get started!
1] Print Clutter-free
The option removes any unwanted material.
Open the webpage you want to print and press the Immersive Reader icon, if visible. The icon may not be present on all websites.
Then, go to the Settings and more menu, choose Print.
Alternatively, you can right-click on any empty space on the page and select Print from the context menu – or use Ctrl+P.
Choose the desired print settings you want and then, hit the Print button.
2] Print a web page using the system Print dialog
Open the file or a webpage you want to print.
Navigate to Settings and more, choose Print.
Here, click the Print using system dialog link under More Settings.
Hit the Print button.
3] Print part of a webpage in Edge
If you want to print only a part of a webpage,
Click and drag over a section of text or images to select the printing portion of the page.
Next, right-click the selected text and then choose the Print option from the context menu displayed.
Configure the desired printing options and then, select Print.
4] Print page numbers in the page footer of Edge
If you want the page numbers to appear in the footer, you can add the settings related to it. Here’s how!
Open the website or PDF document you want to print.
Form the upper-right corner of your browser window, choose Settings and more menu and then, select Print.

5] Add the date to the page header in Edge
It is a standard practice to mention dates in the header region of a webpage. So, to add the date to the page header,
Open the website or PDF document you want to print.
Select Settings and more >Print.
Then, choose More settings > Headers and footers.
6] Remove or include the web page background when printing
To do the needful, follow this navigation path, Settings and more > Print > More settings > Background graphics.
Here, check the Background Graphics box.
Note – If the print preview or output appears somewhat different from the web page you’re printing, enable the Background Graphics option.
7] Change the orientation of output different from what is visible in print preview
Often, the settings you configure fail to yield the desired results or behave erroneously. For example, your printer might be giving prints in landscape even though you chose Portrait mode in print preview. To resolve this issue, follow the steps given below!
Press Win+R in combination to open the Run dialog box.
In the box that opens, type Control and then press OK.
Next, go to Hardware and Sound.
Under it, select View devices and printers.
Right-click your printer and choose the Printer properties option.
Thereafter, select Preferences.
Now, switch to the Layout tab under Orientation and change the orientation setting to Portrait. This should permanently fix your problem.
So, when you want a physical copy of a document or a PDF file, try the new Microsoft Edge web browser to access it and share it with others.
