Welcome to BeerSmith! > Finding Your Way Around BeerSmith

BeerSmith lets you print or preview your work as you go. This includes most tools, the profile, ingredient and recipe folder views.

Note on Margins and Print Settings: BeerSmith actually uses two different systems for printing. The profile, ingredient and recipe folder views and preview reports, which are typically in HTML or text format are printed using your internet browser. On Windows, BeerSmith uses an Internet Explorer plugin for more flexibility with HTML reports. However, this means many of the settings (margins and headers) are set from Internet explorer rather than within BeerSmith. For dialogs and brewing tools, which are printed directly, you can use the Page Setup dialog (File menu) to set print options. Also currently on the Mac these settings are active as a limited native browser is implemented.

Changing Report Formats

Printing a Dialog or Tool
