[ARCHIVED] Printing from New Quizzes

[sallen3]

For our midterms and finals we are required to submit a "hard copy." Is there a way to print what I've spent hours working on? New Quizzes does not have a "print" feature. 

Also, screenshotting each question is not acceptable.

I would like to clarify that I was in discussion with Canvas representatives through their chat as well as e-mail in regards to this thread's question. The response given to me was that because Canvas is designed to be 100% online, there is no possible way to print from the "New Quizzes" quiz assignment. 

Of course they do mention that you could do a screenshot of each question or copy and paste each question (with each of the answer options) over to another program and print from there. I have inserted a picture of the e-mail without the representative's name, but did include the reference number for legitimacy.

 @sallen3 , greetings! I definitely understand your frustration. We have a number of faculty who need printed copies of their quizzes for various and legitimate reasons. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to do this with new quizzes. I did a search in the New Quizzes User Group and in the Open Ideas for new quizzes, the top two vote-getters are - https://community.canvaslms.com/ideas/1055-printable-pdf-exportable-quizzes & https://community.canvaslms.com/ideas/2086-create-question-banks-from-msword" modifiedtitle="true" t.... My recommendation is to vote and comment on both of these.  

The rest of the information I've included below is not going to help you since you are using new quizzes, but I'm going to add it here in case someone using legacy quizzes comes across this post.

This is our current workaround - Print Canvas Quizzes UserScript. 

I also stumbled on this option that was just posted early this week, but it's also for legacy quizzes - How to Print Canvas Quizzes. Side note: We just tested this in our office and WOW does it print nice. The formatting makes it look like a "real" exam. 5 gold stars!

The Legacy Quizzes, being the old quizzes, already has the printing option. But our principal is asking us to tag standards to each question so that they can be traced for data purposes. Old Quizzes does not assist with this. That's why I was more focused on the printing from New Quizzes. 

Also, it is protocol for us to print out our midterms and finals for submission to be 1) looked over for approval and 2) have a copy for record purposes. That's when the problem arose that we cannot print the exam. 

Again, thank you for the assistance!

This is not a solution, people.

Thanks for the effort, but the question is specifically asking about printing New Quizzes, so this answer is pretty much useless, and it shouldn't be marked as a 'Solution'; this is misleading.

Hello @sallen3 ,

Did you ever find an easier way to print New Quizzes than taking screenshots of each question?

Thanks for any update!

Really needing this option. I cannot understand why this isn't a very high priority. To use this in senior schooling we need the ability to hand in copies of students tests and rubrics to the education board for moderation.

I am not sure if this will work with New Quizzes, but you can give it a try.  I do not use new quizzes yet, so I have not tried it out.

This is a chrome extension that will create a pdf file from the page you are looking at.  It is not as nice as the javascript that is available for classic quizzes, but it is a possibility.

I really hate having to use work arounds, but if they get my job done now, it is a big help.

New Quizzes really need to be able to be printed, Not all students have tech options.

screenshots are not an option because of various question types, Drop down menus, etc may not show the options when screenshots are used. 
Also printing allows for ESE and ELL accommodations.

Please add an option to print.  We have students with disabilities who need a hard copy.  We have situations where our teachers need to submit a printed version of assessments.  We have students who need print options for access reasons... etc.

I used Firefox and was able to successfully print.

Thanks to everyone who has participated in this thread. Here are the instructions for printing a quiz in the New Quizzes tool:  How do I print a quiz in New Quizzes?

This option doesn't work - it only prints the first page. Super frustrating. I have tried the CANVAS print goodgle extension. Doesn't work. This is super frustrating. Somwtimes laptops don't work, wifi goes down etc. I really love new quizzes but without a print function i might have to go back to classic
