  1. Press Ctrl+P. Excel displays the File tab of the ribbon with the printing options visible. (See Figure 1.)
  2. Figure 1. The Printing options.

  3. In the Settings area there are two controls to specify the starting page number and the ending page number that you want to print. Specify page numbers in there as desired.
  4. Click on Print.
