    Kritiraj BhandariBy Kritiraj BhandariSeptember 11, 2023 Gmail 4 Mins Read

    You could receive all sorts of documents in your email, such as a receipt, contract, invitation, and more. Printing an email to create hard copies for archival purposes, legal documentation, or record-keeping can have multiple benefits.

    Whether you’re looking to print a single email, an entire thread, or attachments, this article will show you multiple ways to print an email.

    However, note that if the sender has turned on confidential mode before sending the email, it will prevent you from printing the email.

    Here are the steps you will need to follow in order to print selective emails from your Gmail on your Chrome browser.

    1. Open Gmail on your web browser. 
    2. Select and open the email. Then, click on the three-dot icon and select Print.
