Chrome browser - a few questions

Marty999

I have switched from IE 8 to Chrome as my main browser and have taken to it pretty well, but there are few areas I am unclear on:

1) I can't seem to find a print preview option
2) IE 8 has the facility to 'send link by email' but does Chrome have something similar?
3) I have enabled Autofill but how do I use it? It does not present an autofill suggestion when I fill a form in.

I may have missed something obvious but if you could steer me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Thanks...

Rather suprisingly Chrome did not add a print preview option, however I do think there is a plug in available, I will look into it for you.

For now you can make your own print button in the bookmarks using java script : Most browsers have a print button so you don’t have to hunt for the correct menu selection or rely on remembering the keyboard combination. You can add a print button to your Bookmarks bar, making it easily accessible any time you need it.


1. Open Chrome.
2. Right-click the Bookmarks bar and select Add Page.
3. In the Name textbox, input the word Print.
4. In the URL textbox, input the following:
javascript:window.print()
5. Make sure that the Bookmarks bar folder is selected and click OK.
or just drag this link to your Bookmarks bar: Print.

Thanks for your quick reply Marleyboy, I have added the Print button as you suggested and yes that is definitely better than before!

Bump bump, any Chrome experts able to offer any advice please?

add the IE tab plug-in then click that to view the page you want to print - you'll then be able to use IE's print preview and print settings as normal.

Hi Jenna
Thank you for your help on this. I have installed the IE Tab Classic extension but how do I get it to work? When I click on the IE icon in the address bar, nothing seems to change?
