Goto https://web.whatsapp.com/ from the PC/Mac you have linked to your printer. 

you can then "share" to printer the content you want to print.

I got the texts but no picture or videos as file was too big to send on email.   There's a lot of images

I've just gone onto my PC but conversation you can print only goes back about a year.   

Can only seem to print or make PDF one page anyhow  how do I print the whole year (many pages)?

Whenever I’ve printed to PDF it creates a document of as many pages as necessary to fit the content.

It's only allowing me to print one page!  Am i gonna have to go through the whole year's messages and print each  individual pdf separately?

I seem to be able to export whole chat to a .txt file (going right back to when chat started in March 2023).

Have you tried it? I only ask because your screenshot included the Pages Per Sheet setting, 1 page per sheet. That’s just an indication of how much text it will save per page. If you knew that, apologies.

Yeah just tried to print normally (not pdf)and it only printed one sheet.

So this is a comparison of the two ways you can present the WhatsApp messages.  I just thought the one with images and authentic looking messages looked better.   It's for a solicitor to look at.  I dunno whether to stick with top one with no images and compact (entire convoy though) or the other one.   It's for a solicitor.   Most 95% irrelevant waffle though
