Printing From Windows 8 Apps
Printing from Windows 8 apps is not as straight-forward as from standard (non-Windows 8) applications. Windows 8 apps do not have standard menu bars, or menu tabs from which to choose the print command. For Windows 8 apps, you use the Devices interface from the Charms bar to select a printer.
To print from a Windows 8 app, follow these steps:
1. Open a Windows 8 app, such as Maps.
2. Open the Charms bar.
3. Click Devices. A list of printers and other printer-related options displays, as shown in Figure 34.12. These other options vary depending on the devices and applications installed on your computer. For example, in Figure 34.12, the following four devices are found:
FIGURE 34.12 Displaying the Devices list when printing from a Windows 8 app
- HP DeskJet 970Cse: An ink jet printer connected to my computer.
- Snagit 11: A program that enables you to save an image file of the document or image that you are printing.
- Microsoft XPS Document Writer: Enables you to save the document or image as an XPS file.
- Second Screen: Projects the document or image on a second monitor connected to your computer.
4. For the example here, we want to choose to print to a printer so click the name of a printer installed on your computer. A screen similar to the one shown in Figure 34.13 appears. This screen varies depending on the printer options available.
