You might know that you can print a range of pages from a document by typing in the range in the Print dialog box.
But this can be tedious and lead to errors, especially if you’ve added section prefixes to your pages (which must be typed in the Range field). Happily, there’s a much quicker and easier way to tell InDesign which pages you want to print.
Just select the pages you want to print in the Pages panel. You can Shift-click to select a contiguous range, or Ctrl/Command-click to select (or deselect) individual pages.
Then, from the Pages panel menu, choose Print Pages.
You can also right-click on any page in the panel and choose Print Pages from the menu at your cursor.
The Print dialog box opens up and the range is already inserted for you!
Note: If you’re working with a non-facing pages document, the command will appear as “Print Spreads” instead of “Print Pages”, but it works just the same.
