Print user manual/quick start guide?
I'm new at this so please be patient with me. My first question about calibre is there a way to print out the Quick-start or user manual/guide.

Open the book in the ebook viewer. Select the entry and click View. In the viewer tool bar along the side click the down arrows at the bottom. This will expand the tool bar to show all items. Click the icon that looks like a printer. If you click the down arrow next to the printer you can select print preview.

Thank you for your comment however not enough detail to be any help. Seeing everything in this site has to do with ePub, when converted to PDF it prints out 3 1/4 " by 4 1/4" and seeing the user guide is over 500 pages the would not do. Next time reader the post better.

I can't reader the post better because what you've written makes no sense.

I'm think you're tying to say that you've converted the quick start guide / user manual to PDF and have then printed it. However, the page size if very small?

In this case you have a ebook reading device profile selected. The profile causes PDFs to be sized to the size of the device's screen. Select the book, click convert. Under "Page Setup" change the output profile to Default. Also, Under "PDF Output" set the "Paper Size" to you're papers size (most likely letter). Then convert and the PDF pages will be 8.5 x 11 inches.

This was a waste of my time, or I'm not a smart as you or you think you are, this is my last post. Major waste of good time.

Usernone said to click the printer icon from calibre's viewer or open it in print preview click the printer icon to print the quick start guide.

He did not mention converting the epub to PDF although converting it to PDF and printing it is possible.

Good Luck.
