Printing from "Quick Look"?

[oldmoondog]

Does anyone know how to print from Quick Look? To avoid opening Office products, which take forever to load I tend to look at attachments through Quick Look. Is there a way of printing direct from there, rather than going through the tedious loading of Word or Excel etc?

Have you tried Command - P?

Quick Look is just that, if you want to print a file, it has to be done with an app that is capable of opening the file you are looking at.

If it is PDF, Preview is fine. If it is Office documents, then it usually the Office tools unless you have other tools installed that can handle those files..

That works for me with almost any file opened using only Quick Look, but no options presented or available as to any print options.

Thanks. Tried it but it does not seem to do anything. Just get the dull tone of wrong key etc.

Yeah, you cannot print from Quick Look.

Yeah, you cannot print from Quick Look.

A bit of a generalized statement isn't that when I just posted that I could, and so can others according to a quick google search???:

Unless Yosemite broke that as well…??? I'm using Mavericks and Quick Look printing also works on my wife's iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

The problem with printing a document from Quick Look (yes it's possible) is that the application which is the default for the document opens and does the printing. Exactly not what the OP wanted.

So when you say you can print from Quick Look, what you're really saying is that you're using Quick Look to invoke the application which is the default for the document in order to print it. ;P
