How to Add a Print Hyperlink to an Email

Add a print hyperlink to your email

A print hyperlink is used to open a specific computer's print dialog box, so it will only work if the person who is opening your email has a printer set up and has it installed to work with their computer. A print hyperlink in your email might not work, as certain configurations simply won't recognize it. Also, the browser that is used to read the e-mail also might make it difficult. However, you can add a print hyperlink to an email with a little bit of code.

Instructions

1. Type an email as you normally would and add photos or files.

2. Find the area where you would like to have your printer hyperlink and click on it.

3. Type the following into the area:
   <script type="text/javascript">
   if (window.print) {
   document.write('<input type="button" onclick="window.print()"'+
   ' value="Print This Page">'); }
   </script>

Tips & Warnings
