There are a variety of ways a desktop user can print files. They fall into two major categories: printing from the desktop and printing from an application.

Ways to print from the desktop include:

Selecting a file in File Manager and choosing Print from the Selected menu or the icon's pop-up menu
Dragging a file from File Manager to the Front Panel Printer control or the Personal Printers subpanel
Dragging a file from File Manager to a printer in the Print Manager main window
To print from an application, use the Print command, usually accessed from a menu or other control within the application's window.
