What It Does

Print Page Block adds a Gutenberg block that places a print button on any page or post, letting visitors trigger their browser's print dialog to print either the full page or a specific section you define. Setup is handled entirely through the block editor, so there is no settings page to configure. The actual printing relies on the browser's native print functionality rather than generating a PDF or custom layout.

Who It's For

This plugin suits small WordPress sites that want a quick way to offer visitors a printable view of a page, such as recipes, directions, reference documents, or contact information. It is also a reasonable fit for site owners who want to avoid touching theme files or adding custom CSS just to make a section printable. Non-technical users managing a basic WordPress site will get the most out of it.

Who Should Skip It

Anyone who needs a polished, PDF-style document output or fine-grained print stylesheet control should skip this, since the plugin leans entirely on the browser's default print rendering. Sites already running Spectra, Qi Blocks, or a full Gutenberg suite likely have print capabilities or styling hooks built in, making this add-on redundant.

The Bottom Line

Print Page Block does one focused thing and does it well enough to earn a 75.63 overall quality score, but its tiny install base and lack of support history make it a calculated bet. It is a sensible pick for small sites with straightforward printing needs, while larger or print-critical projects should weigh the limited track record carefully. Treat the high user rating as encouraging rather than conclusive given only 7 reviews.

Pick Spectra if you want a full block library with over a million installs and broader styling control, and you only need basic print support as a side benefit.

Breadcrumb NavXT 88/100

Breadcrumb NavXT is unrelated to printing but is the category leader for navigation; choose it if your real need is breadcrumb display and you can handle print styling separately.

PDF Embedder 86/100

Pick PDF Embedder if you need to display and print actual PDF documents on your site rather than reformatting HTML pages for the browser print dialog.

Qi Blocks 84/100

Choose Qi Blocks if you want a broader Gutenberg block toolkit with 60,000 installs and can use a custom CSS class for print behaviour instead of a dedicated block.

Flexible Table Block 83/100

Flexible Table Block is useful if your printable content is primarily tables, but it does not replace a print button block on its own.
