Having lines under each slide makes it easier to remember key points. In this easy guide, you’ll learn how to print Google Slides with lines for notes in just a few clicks.


🖨️ Why Print Slides with Lines for Notes?


Sometimes, just looking at a slide isn’t enough. You might want to write reminders, key facts, or just your thoughts while listening to someone speak. That’s where printing with note lines helps!

Here’s why people love it:

  • Helps with studying and revision.
  • Great for live presentations and meetings.
  • Makes learning easier for students.
  • Perfect for planning and brainstorming.


📄 Step-by-Step: How to Print Google Slides with Lines for Notes

Go to Google Slides and open the file you want to print.

🙋‍♀️ Common Questions People Ask


Can I add more lines under each slide?

Not directly in Google Slides, but you can open the PDF in a tool like Adobe Acrobat and add extra space.


Can I do this from my phone?

Not really. It’s best to use a computer for these settings. The mobile version doesn’t show all options.


Can I print only selected slides with notes?

Yes! Before printing, choose custom pages like 2–5, or whatever range you need.


Will it waste a lot of paper?

It depends. If you want to save paper, try printing two slides per page instead of one. But the note lines only show in the “1 slide with notes” option.


📌 Extra Tips to Make It Easier


  • Preview before printing – Always check how your slides look with the lines.
  • Use grayscale or black & white to save ink.
  • Add speaker notes in advance – These will show up under your slides.
  • Try PDF first – It’s easy to share and reprint if needed.


✍️ Final Thoughts


Printing Google Slides with lines for notes isn’t just a neat trick — it’s a smart way to keep track of ideas. Whether you’re preparing for a class, giving a speech, or just trying to stay organized, these printable note-friendly slides make a big difference.


And the best part? You don’t need any fancy tools. Just Google Slides, a printer, and a couple of clicks.
