Is there a way to print the .lyx file as it appears onscreen in lyx? I thought this could be done using file>print but unfortunately there is an empty printer field and it seems to be made to directly print a ps/pdf output to a printer, not the onscreen content. I want to do this to print out lyx comments as well as edit my text on paper.
I am not looking to print the pretty ps/pdf/dvi!!!
Thanks in advance,
Rahul
LyX ⇒ Print a .lyx file
NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.
And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Hi Rahul,
Welcome!
1. First convert them to greyed out insets by pressing alt-x (or View > Toolbars > Command Buffer) and inserting the following
inset-forall Note inset-modify note Note Greyedout
Press return.
2. Go to Document > Settings > Colors
and you can change the color, if you want, of the greyed out boxes by clicking on "Change" next to the text "Greyed-out notes".
3. Then export to pdf.
Welcome!

Hi Scott,
Thank you for your answers - here and on another thread.
It is a little disappointing to note that this printing is not possible. It would be a great feature to have for editing ideas while entering them in lyx (Perhaps I am old school and still prefer the paper and pencil way of thinking!).
But thanks for the work around...
Cheers,
Rahul

Rahul, you are not alone! You might want to open a feature request (it doesn't take long) by going here: http://www.lyx.org/trac. You could also reference this comment:rahul24 wrote:Hi Scott,

which agrees with what you have in mind.
But don't just add on to that ticket; this is a separate issue.
