Print-jobs are rendered as styled HTML and served from an embedded webserver. Your local web browser is launched to load the print-job and give you printing options like paper size, page orientation and margin size.
So if you have a local browser that can print, and VS Code can launch it, you can print.
The print icon on the toolbar prints the document in the active editor.
If you have a text selection that crosses at least one line-break you can right click and choose Print from the context menu to send just the selection to the printer. In the absence of a multi-line selection the entire document is printed. You can control the position of Print in this menu, or remove it altogether.
Or you can right-click on a file in the file explorer pane and choose Print from the context menu.
There are a number of settings. Most of them you just need to read the descriptions on the settings page, but we're old school and we wrote a manual. If things aren't going your way, maybe you should read it. If you're having first-use problems, the manual contains a troubleshooting guide.
Some things you can configure:
- the colour scheme used for syntax colouring
- whether or not you want line numbers
- alternate browser for printing
- line spacing (leave yourself more room for handwritten annotation of code)
