  3. Double-click the contact to open it.

  4. Click File > Print.

  5. A preview of the printed contact will show on the right. If this is the format you want and you want to print all pages, click Print. Otherwise, continue to Step 6.

Print some or all contacts in your address book

To print some, but not all of your contact list, first filter your contacts so that only the contacts that you want appear. After your contacts are filtered, the printing steps are the same as if you are printing all contacts as outlined here. For information on filtering your contact list, see Use Outlook's built-in search filters.

  1. Click People or the People icon at the bottom of your Outlook window.

When you use File > Print to display the Print view, which contains both printer settings and print preview, the current window may shift to the background, behind the main Outlook window. You can minimize the main Outlook window to bring the Print view back to the foreground. For more information on this problem, see Print preview problems in Outlook.

Important: Because of the numerous printers available to consumers, we cannot help you troubleshoot any issues with your printer. For troubleshooting information, see the manufacturer's manual or Web site. You can also ask questions in Microsoft Office Communities.
