Ctrl P does not do a good job of printing the dashboard. Provide a Print button which optimises printing perhaps defaulting to the filters & title on page 1 and the dashboard sheets in landscape on pages 2 to n+1

RE: Allow proper printing of Dashboards

We need this feature to push Power BI in enterprise. Any update on how soon a proper print / export would be available

RE: Allow proper printing of Dashboards

This is marked as "completed" - yet is there actually a way to print report title, filters, and every page of a long report out? Currently we're only seeing "Print Current Page" which is useless to us...

RE: Allow proper printing of Dashboards

I am not able to see the visualizations on the report print out. The only thing you can see are the single card information and the filter list. All my charts and other visuals are not on the print out. This is on the Power BI Service. I will try from the Desktop App, but it seems from the feedback that this may be a lost cause.

RE: Allow proper printing of Dashboards

This is partly addressed for the Power BI Service but not for PB Desktop.

RE: Allow proper printing of Dashboards

I would say this has not been completed due to the inability of the print function to properly layout the visuals as you see on screen. THe print output I get for 16:9 page sizes is totally unuseable. t shrinks some visuals, blows others up and overlays them on top of each other. Tried the Acrobat printer and our networked xeroxs. No preview, unuseable output.

RE: Allow proper printing of Dashboards

This only works on the server side, it does not work in the desktop version. Will you be adding printing to powerbi desktop?

RE: Allow proper printing of Dashboards

You can now print your reports, but it's not proper vector graphics or fonts, just a plain screenshot without menues arount. (And thus bad resolution...)
