Printing in Canvas

Can I print a copy of the syllabus?

Hi, Caroline,

You can print the syllabus as it displays in Canvas by using the print function in your browser. However, if your instructor provides a PDF version of the syllabus, I'd recommend downloading and printing that instead. (If no PDF is included, you could reach out to your instructor and see if a PDF could be made available!)

Hope that helps,

Erin

Printing the syllabus directly from Canvas provides an embarrassingly ugly output with terrible page breaks whether I use Chrome or Safari. I have to use Landscape as the tables run off the edge of the paper in Portrait.

I prefer to do the following, which leaves out my pictures, but looks at least readable

1. Open the Syllabus

2. Edit the syllabus

3. Click on the </> to go into HTML model.

4. Click at the top of the syllabus, select all (CTRL or CMD A), and then copy the html content to your clipboard.

5. Open a blank text file in a text editor and paste the content and save it with the extension .html.

6. Open the new file in a browser and print it or export it to PDF.

I loose my pictures (with a little editing I could keep them) but at least the page breaks work and the tables fit on the Portrait page.
