How do you print from Office Web Apps?
When I try to print from OWA, I have to convert the document into a PDF, then save the file, then open the file (grrrr), then chose software to read the PDF, and only then I can print it. What am I doing wrong here? Is this really the way OWA works or is Microsoft just messing with me? Is there an easier way to print documents from Office Web Apps?
Answers
Here are the instructions from Microsoft. All I can say is check them over carefully to make sure you're not missing something...
"To get a printout that preserves the layout and formatting of your document, use the Office Web Apps printing feature--not your web browser’s Print command.
"In the Word, Excel, and PowerPoint web apps, look for Print on the File tab. In OneNote Web App, use your browser’s Print command, or open the notebook in OneNote to print it. If you don’t see a Print command in the Excel or PowerPoint web app, you’re probably looking at the document in SharePoint, in which case you might get the best results by opening the document in Excel or PowerPoint to print it."

OWA is pretty weak when it comes to printing. You can either continue to do it the way you have been, or just open them in MS Office and print from there. I would go with option 2. I don't know why Microsoft doesn't spend some time and effort to improve this.
