What is the Control + P keyboard shortcut for in Windows?

Printer

In order to streamline processes, the Microsoft team usually includes a multitude of possible keyboard combinations, thanks to which you can perform tasks or access programs much faster, depending on the need that arises.

One of these possible keyboard shortcuts is the key combination Control + P, which can be very useful in document environments, files, PDFs, web pages or similar, since what this command will allow us is access the corresponding options menu to print it easily.

Print any document with Control + P in Windows

As we mentioned, the combination of pressing the Control key (sometimes represented as CTRL), together with the letter P on the keyboard of a Windows computer, serves to access the printing options for a specific document, so in most cases it leads directly to the print button in the File menu or in the options, depending on the application in question.

Thus, you should bear in mind that Control + P does not always workSince, for example, if you press these keys while on the desk, absolutely nothing will happen. This is because the application or program you are using must be compatible with this function. However, remember that most word processors, Internet browsers, office automation applications, and the like, do usually have this option.

For this reason, if for example you open a Microsoft Word document and want to print it, or you open this web page with your favorite browser, and Press Control + P, the different options to configure when printing a document will appear on the screen. You just have to choose the relevant and select your printer and then the printing of what was displayed on the screen should start directly.
