How do you print in Sublime Text 2

Question

Sublime Text 2 seems like a great editor   I just started using it a week ago in eval mode and it doesn t seem to have any printing functionality  This seems preposterous to me  but I can t find it anywhere   Is this a feature unlocked after purchase   I see no mention of that on the company website   Can anyone help

This isn t supported yet  You can use plugins to export the text into HTML or RTF first  and then you can print it out  if you want   Here is for example the SublimeHighlight plugin which you can use for exporting

TL DR Use Cmd Ctrl Shift P then Package Control  Install Package  then Print to HTML and install it  Use Alt Shift P to print  My favorite tool for printing from Sublime Text is Print to HTML package  You can  quot print quot  a selection or a whole file - via the web browser  Usage  Make a selection  or none for the whole file  Press Alt Shift P OR Shift Command P and type in  quot Print to HTML quot    This opens your browser print dialog  Chrome for me  with the selected text neatly in the print dialog window and syntax highlighting intact  There you can choose a printer or export to PDF  and print  Setup Install the  quot Print to HTML quot  package using the package manager   Ctrl   Shift   P   gt  Gives a list of commands  Find the package manager by typing  quot install quot  You see a few choices  Select  quot Package Control  Install Package quot  This opens a list of packages  Type  quot print to quot  One of the choices should be  quot Print to HTML quot   Select that  and it is being installed  You can use the  quot print to html quot  now by a keyboard shortcut Alt Shift P

UPDATE 2016  Somewhere between July 2015 and January 2016 the printing feature request that I wrote about in 2014 was removed  The original answer is below  with the relevant links changed to the latest working versions in the Web Archive   Original 2014 Answer  Printing in Sublime Text is a feature that has been requested for about 4 years  as of 2014   with 1600  supporting votes and 160  comments in the discussion below  For something around 6000 feature requests this is in the top 5   See the original  still open  feature request    Printing - It should be possible to print files on the official UserEcho forum of Sublime Text     Judging from the feature request  still open with no official answer  it seems unlikely that printing will ever get implemented in version 3  as others have suggested  or in any version at all   The discussion below this feature request may give some insight on why printing is not supported and whether or not it has a chance to get supported in the future   Maybe if more people vote or comment it will change in the future   See Update 2016 below for an up-to-date list of feature requests   Some workarounds were suggested  the most popular advices were to use some other editor for printing  eg  Brackets  Atom  gedit  Notepad    or to use some 3rd party plugins that reportedly don t work well or at all   In general there is a strong opposition to adding printing as a native feature of Sublime Text which for such a universal functionality among text editors seems surprising  but may nevertheless shed some light on this issue   Meanwhile  there are many free editors that can print  in fact I cannot think of a single one that couldn t  so it is easy to use some other editor whenever a need for printing arises   Update 2016  Since the feature request described above was removed  please comment if anyone knows why  here is an up-to-date list of some other places to find more info about printing in Sublime Text    Sublime Text feature request  25170  Printing  Web Archive  July 2015  Sublime Text feature request  128509  Please add printing features  Sublime Text feature request  150254  No print option in Sublime Text2 Sublime Text feature request  149563  Printing and pretty-printing required Sublime Text feature request  128718  Is Sublime Text unable to print  Sublime Text feature request  380352  Printing Sublime Text feature request  203216  PRINT PRINT PRINT Sublime Text feature request  128718  Is there a menu option to Print the file  Other Sublime Text feature requests related to printing Printing from Sublime - Sublime Forum   Since the original feature request  25170 was removed  you should vote and comment in the other feature requests about printing instead

I like ExportHTML  which exports to html  opens it up in your browser  and optionally opens the system print dialog  Looks good  too  Not a perfect replacement for native printing  but pretty close

There is also the Simple Print package  which uses enscript to do the actual printing   Similar to kenorb s answer  open the palette  ctrl cmd shift p    Install package    Simple Print Function   you MUST install enscript and here is how   https   github com svenax SublimePrint

Still no print no native print function  but outside the installing the suggested package  you can go the autohotkey way  as the that app can actually help you run macros for other stuff as well  So you can do something like create a macro that with one click does    Select all the text Copies all the text Opens your other edit of choice  pastes text Prints text   No the most glamorous of options but could also work if the receiving app has can accept code-formatting

One way to print your code is to push it to an online version control system like Github or Bitbucket   In your browser  navigate to the file and print it   Doing it this way  you ll get syntax highlighting and version control
