Cleans up printing for Gmail.

Image from store Pretty Print Gmail

Description from store UPDATE: Because of Gmail changing the way it operates on the backend, there is no easy fix for multi-printing (where you select multiple emails from the main gmail window) not working. I'm going to have to unfortunately deprecate that feature. -- PrettyPrintGmail lets you print Gmail emails easily and prettily. Simply select all the emails you'd like to print, press the extension icon next to your address bar, and hey, presto! Your selected emails will get printed. Bonus: it removes the Google logo and other junk from the print view as well! Only want to print a single email in a long thread? Simply click the down arrow near top-right of the email (next to the reply button), and select Print. Voila, prettified email. IF YOU'RE TRYING TO PRINT MORE THAN ONE PAGE OF EMAILS: Because the extension doesn't have any access to your Gmail account, it can only print the emails currently being displayed on your screen. This means that if you want to print an entire label's worth of emails, you'll have to do that one page at a time. Note that Gmail lets you configure how many emails appear on the screen at one time up to a maximum of 100. Check this guide for more info on how to configure that: https://www.pcworld.com/article/228718/Gmail.html Pressing the extension icon getting annoying? Try Alt+P. If that doesn't work, follow this guide to firmly set a shortcut for Pretty Print Gmail: https://www.howtogeek.com/127162/how-to-create-custom-keyboard-shortcuts-for-browser-actions-and-extensions-in-google-chrome/ PRETTY PRINT GMAIL FEATURES ------ (DEPRECATED) MULTIPLE PRINTING: From the Gmail main page, select all the emails you want to print, and press the extension icon (printer button). You can also press Alt+P instead of pressing extension icon but if some thing else uses this shortcut then it won't have the intended effect. Note that all of your emails will be compiled into one document. This takes time, so please be patient. PERSONALIZE YOUR PRINTING: Right click extension icon and press Options. Now, select whether you'd like subject / from / to / date + time to be printed for your emails! SINGLE THREAD PRINTING: Simply open an email thread, and press extension icon. SINGLE EMAIL IN LONG THREAD PRINTING: Open the particular email you want to print, click the down arrow near top-right of the email (next to the reply button), and select Print. Voila, prettified email. Check screenshot #3 if this is confusing. ----- FAQ: Q. It's not working :( A. Aww. Please send me an email! Q. Wrong emails are being selected for printing :( A. Refresh Gmail - Go to label/folder - Select emails and click the Pretty Print Gmail icon. It's possible that you selected other emails and that's confusing the extension. Starting from a clean slate will help. Note that on the main Gmail page (i.e. the one you get when you first go to gmail.com, if you select emails in Primary tab and then switch to Forums tab without first unselecting the Primary tab emails, the Primary tab emails are also selected and printed. Simply switch back to the Primary tab and unselect the emails you don't want printed and try again. Q. I can't find the extension icon! What do I click to print my emails? A. If you can't find the extension icon (orange printer button) next to address bar, click on the three dots on the extreme right of address bar. A popup with a number of extension icons should show up. One of these (the orange printer one) will be PrettyPrintGmail. Right click on this and click 'Keep in Toolbar'. ----- If extension icon is pressed outside of mail.google.com, it will simply navigate to mail.google.com. Currently works for Mac, Windows, ChromeOS, and Linux. Note that this extension is meant for Gmail only. It does not work for Inbox (by Google), but if you use Inbox there's already an easy way to print emails - click the Print button. ----- Icon credits: Plainicon from www.flaticon.com.

(2021-02-10) Anna Mantovani: Doesn't Work!!!! Constantly getting an Error and no way to contact customer support.
(2021-02-10) Ky Gardner: It was really helpful the first day I downloaded it but hasn't worked since.
(2021-02-03) Bob Violence: No longer works. Just says "ERR".
(2021-01-16) C Fleck: Worked okay until early 2021, when it gives "ERR" for anything but printing directly from a single e-mail's page. I can do that already with normal printing! I need this for printing sets of e-mails as a single file.
(2021-01-03) Vlad Medves: Took me a few minutes to get it working but once it did it worked beautifully and saved a lot of hassle combining multiple emails into one.
(2020-11-05) Brian McBride: Sorry - it's not working and frustrating. Surely we all appreciate if someone goes out of his way to build a solution for a problem; However, it is very frustrating and TIME CONSUMING to try working with something lie this extension to get a bulk print from my emails. Because by now I have wasted an 1.5 to make this extension work and if I had just started printing one by one would have been done by now. Now I will be into my third hour fixing this. So, If you put out an Extension then make SURE, PLEASE, THAT IT WORKX. Thank You.
(2020-09-05) Adrian Walton: I have only used to print a single email but it works nicely... eliminates the Gmail header for a nice professional print. Thanks for this useful tool.
(2020-04-09) Coy McDaniel: I like that it takes the GMAIL header off of email which I do not need, so I am appreciative of that. Where I wish is worked better was to print out 'expanded' emails individually. I may be missing something but I want one email per page, since what I am printing will fit on one page. To put this another way, if I have ten emails that say 'Hello' on the first line, if I use this extension I'd want 10 separate pages as opposed to 2 or 3 pages with multiple emails on each page. I've played with it but it doesn't seem to work for me. Tips? Suggestions?
(2020-03-30) Raymond Staudenmeier: Brilliant. Simple to use, good for selecting several emails at once and printing to file. I can't speak to larger printing attempts, I have only done 16 or so at a time as I need to. for this purpose it is awesome. Thank you.
(2020-03-02) Julian Bruce: worked perfectly for me, thank you!
(2020-02-28) Michael N: Hi Chivan, I want to say thank you for taking the time to write and share this plugin. You did a great job and your plugin is very useful to do something that the dummies at Gmail should've done by now. Keep up the good work. Cheers
(2020-02-19) Sky Blue: Not pretty at all, the formatting has all gone.
(2020-02-10) Joseph Lane: Doesn't work with more than a handful of emails selected.
(2020-02-07) Erwin Halik: Super Nützlich um einen Stapel von E-Mail Belegen zu drucken!
(2020-01-29) Akash Kumar: Appreciate the author Unfortunately, even though I've "unthreaded" my emails so that they show up individually, somehow the app finds instances where I've forwarded the emails to others, which I definitely do not want to be part of the bulk print. ANY chance I can somehow address this and print only the labeled emails and not instances where I later forwarded them? Even if not, thank you!
(2019-12-05) Sheridan McGinn: Really useful, thanks Shivan!
(2019-12-03) Melissa Strodtbeck: Thank you for creating this print ability - great job! I, too, ran into the ERR message, but having read the reviews, I knew to refresh the browser, and ~voila~ it worked like magic!
(2019-11-29) David Averbuch: Initially - only displayed ERR. BUT, after I refreshed the gmail tab it did work.
(2019-11-25) Ayana John: ERR message received. Did not work at all.
(2019-11-22) Onur Tatliadim: Hi, it is not working for me. I tried selecting a few mails and clicked alt+p, and it gave the ERR msg. I also tried clicking on the icon and still nada. Any suggestions? If this work, it will be a life saver for me. Thanks!
(2019-11-06) Alex Fong: I just used it to compile 86 emails and it took me roughly 10 seconds from adding extension to getting my pdf file. I appreciate it and it is super convenient. Thanks again! Don't understand why everyone seems to be struggling so much and giving it such low reviews.
(2019-10-25) Babu Kumaran Nalini: Works like a charm!
(2019-10-12) Garry Lloyd: Doesn't work. Selected 10 emails. Clicked on icon. Looks like a small error message. either CRR or ERR. Uninstalled.
(2019-09-18) Ryan Emmer: It doesn't work, I get an ERR message, whether I select one email or 3 emails or 20 email or 50 emails....it would really be great if it worked!
(2019-09-14) James Thompson: Its pretty amazing that gmail has no simple way to print multiple emails. This extension works as described, and is a big help and time saver for those needing to print multiple emails.
(2019-09-10) Pedro Baracho: This is great, does exactly what I needed. Small feature suggestion: allow to re-order the e-mails. In my case, it made more sense if I could print them in chronological order from oldest to newest.
(2019-09-05) Rick Richard: I get the ERR on the icon, works from one account, bit not the account I need. Any suggestions?
(2019-08-29) Ben Schaefer: Restart your browser after installing the plugin and it works like a charm. If you're on a machine that's short on RAM or processing power though, be very patient and/or break the job into smaller chunks. It took a solid minute to process 100 emails/600+ pages for me, and I'm on a rather powerful PC.
(2019-08-26) Jon Wu: Worked great! Printed hundreds of pages of emails at once. One thing it didn't do is print single emails (unthreaded / conversations off). It also doesn't have the option to hide previous messages in an email chain (as Gmail does in the UI by default), which is what made my printout so big, but that content is in the emails themselves.
(2019-07-30) Nick Hartman: It has done exactly what I wanted it to do, print out multiple emails at once. This makes things much more efficient for me at work. Good extension.
(2019-07-23) Admission - OWU: Just added this extension, selected 40 emails and printed. It worked!
(2019-06-19) Admin YourAllStarTeam: wow! this is really helpful tool! was able to print 29 emails in one click. *after installing the extension, close/restart your chrome browser then continue with your work!
(2019-04-17) Cristian Iordan: It doesn't print the emails that I selected - it just picks the ones from the top of the list (most recent). Useless.
(2019-01-29) CES: Einfach nur auf das rote Drucker Icon oben in der Chrome-Leiste drücken. Funktioniert wunderbar, allerdings werden nur so viele wie angezeigt werden (50) gedruckt bzw als pdf gespeichert.
(2019-01-23) Works as described. Would love an option to exclude printing images/graphics in the emails.
(2018-09-26) Proyecto Pide un Deseo México: Funciona estupendamente bien en Ubuntu 18.04. Imprimió un PDF correctamente, conteniendo todos los mensajes seleccionados. Yo puedo después editarlos y acomodarlos según me convenga.
(2018-09-04) Cory Shallow: doesn't work. :( come on, a lot of this need this utility
(2018-08-31) Ho-Kyeong Ra: Bulk printing works: I selected emails i wanted to print in bulk, and print using "alt + p" but by clicking button, i get error icon on the chrome. it did what i had to do so i'm thankful p.s. i created label > added things to print > select 50 > print > remove label and repeated "select 50 > print > remove label" process
(2018-08-07) Evergreen Unlimited: Cannot seemed to print beyond 50 email first set.
(2018-08-06) Sachin Sharma: It seeks permission to your mail, drive, sending, deleting EMails thru your account and then extension DOES NOT work.Then it asks for Donations.
(2018-07-13) Alfonso Fabra: NO funciona
(2018-07-03) Kim E: Worked on first try. Easy and did exactly what I needed it to do. Time saver! Thanks!
(2018-06-01) Feppe Ikkelkuk: Many people, including myself, get the ERR message. I understand that the developer has built this in own time, but PLEASE respond to us all. You have made a very useful application. Let's make it work!
(2018-04-27) Jason Disbrow: Doesn't work, get ERR nothing happens. running latest version of Chrome
(2018-04-04) Rodrigo Oliveira: Worked once. Now only "ERR".
