Printing Multiple Copies

To print more than one copy, adjust the number in the 'Copies' field at the bottom of the preview window.

For example, if you want to print three copies, change the number in the 'Copies' field to 3.

Selecting Specific Pages

If you only need to print specific pages from your Google Doc, you can do so by defining the page range.

In the 'Pages' field, enter the page numbers you wish to print. Separate them with a dash, like so: '5-10'.

Once you've reviewed and adjusted your print settings, click 'Print' or press 'Cmd + P' to initiate the print command. Then, wait for your MacBook to send the job to your printer.
