I, too, am very surprised at the fact that we can't print anything efficiently using Insightly. We recently cancelled all of our users and went down to just 1 (for me). I'm not going to pay HUNDREDS of dollars to use a service that isn't beneficial. Printing is COMMON SENSE. It should be added immediately.
The fact that you can't print anything is a MAJOR issue!
EVERY and ANY thing in the system should be able to be printed not just exported into Excel.
Insightly...you need to update your system.
This feature should be a HIGH PRIORITY for your Developers and should be handled IMMEDIATELY!!
The review by Dave shows that your company is already beginning to lose revenue due to the lack of some basic features that should have already been available.
So surprising to see that this isn't getting many votes. Also surprising that we have to "vote" for something that is the most common-sense feature that is missing.
Agreed, not sure why when the Print function is used it only prints the visible screen. Massive problem for those wanting to print a Project or Opportunity summary without having to go through the many extra steps of exporting and then re-formatting the CSV just to be able to print
A workaround my colleague found. Highlight the selection, and use the browser to print instead of the print button (we use Chrome). In the print section choose Selection Only and it should print everything highlighted.
Thank you for the print selection work around. this at least gets what I want accomplished, albeit a bit clumsily. Still I'll take it until a proper fix is implemented.
@Mike - why make the changes when they can just hold our data hostage and keep taking $70+a month, right? I mean for us it would be more costly to migrate to another solution. It's SERIOUSLY frustrating. They continue to implement new features that are worthless but can't come up with a simple solution for us to *neatly* print our data.
For others like me who are frustrated with Insightly for not addressing this problem, I did find a web browser tool bar extension that seems to work pretty well: https://www.printfriendly.com/extensions/chrome. At least this tool allows us to print the whole page without having to go through the extra steps of using screenshots or exporting to Excel.
Ordinary web print is not good enough for a web based CRM. Of course we expect a better print-feature. Full record, structured content, pdf export.
Totally agree with comments above (silly, common sense, basic feature).

Another tip for workaround: Zoom out browser until all content is visible within the Insightly frame (if possible) and then print. Reset zoom afterwards.
I find it unbelievable that Insightly lacks any meaningful print option. People have been complaining about this feature for years but it appears to fall on deaf ears. #bushleague
Ravindran - I had the opportunity to ask an insightly team member this question directly. Their answer was that there are no plans to implement this feature, but to continue monitoring the community boards because if that changes this is where they will announce it. Not exactly helpful or encouraging...
@Jon: coming from someone who has designed a few web pages, the process of printing shouldn't be that difficult at all. Since all of the information can be rendered to the screen inside of insightly, it can easily be rendered to a "pop up" window where we can hit FILE > PRINT. I don't think this is an issue of whether or not it CAN be done and more of an issue of whether or not Insightly wants us to have complete control over our data to use outside of the system.

It would actually be great if we could print all record types!
I can't believe we don't have the ability to print Tasks. This is silly.

New to Insightly and this could be a deal breaker!
WE need to be able to print anything for hardcopy archiving and daily use.

True. Please vote on this one as well, another common-sense feature: http://support.insight.ly/hc/en-us/community/posts/202902450-Social-media-links
This is something that frustrates me as well. I'd like to print my opportunity list, task list, project lists or anything actually!
This gets my vote - good idea

Will be good to have a proper fix though!

Here we are in August of 2016 and still nothing. Printing is a basic feature.
I really like Insightly other than this huge omission.

Please implement this basic feature, sooner rather than later.
Agreed, Please implement this basic feature soon!!!
I want to be able to print it directly from the file i am in, so either in the project, opportunity, client or company.

Thanks for sharing this Lauren!
There is a post for this here in our Ideas & Suggestions for anyone who hasn't voted yet. This article also goes over what happens when you post an idea to our Community in detail.

One year and 3 months later.... still begging for the BASIC feature of PRINTING.
could insightly support have courtesy in responding to this issue....i.e when do you hope to do this?After all we are paying for your services

I've come to the conclusion that they don't know how to do it. Silly.

We second all of the posts here and are desperately seeking the ability to export each Organization's full information into a printable page.
Yes, please, this would be a great feature!
