How do I turn off automatic print preview?

[Guest]

I recall placing a check mark in an option saying to preview printing before
actually printing, but I can't locate it now. Everytime I print I have to go
through an extra step to print because the document first previews. How do I
turn it off?

That is a setting in your printer driver, not directly in Word. Go to Start

Settings > Printers & Faxes, right-click your printer, and select Printing

Preferences. Look for the check box in there. If you don't see it,
right-click the printer again and select Properties. Different printer
drivers put it in different places.
