2.2 How to Print Contacts from Android for Free Through Exporting to VCF

Looking for a cost-effective solution? Exporting your contacts to VCF (Virtual Contact File) format is the way to go. Most Android devices natively support this format, allowing you to quickly back up and share your contacts. The following are steps to do it:

Step 1. Open the Contacts App on your Android device and select "Import/export contacts" from the menu.

Step 2. Export contacts by selecting the "Export to .vcf file" option to save contacts as a VCF file.

Step 3. Now, you can transfer the VCF File to your computer via USB, email, or cloud storage. Then, open and print the VCF file using a text editor or contact manager.

Cons

• The VCF file format is not suitable for direct printing. The exported file needs to be opened with a text editor or contact management tool, which is cumbersome.

2.3 How to Print Contact List from Android Phone with Google Contacts

If you have a Google account, using Google Contacts is also a good way to print a contact list from an Android phone. To use this method, you will need to sync your contacts on Android to your Google account first.

How to print a contact list from an Android phone via Google Contacts?

Step 1. On your Android phone, open the Settings app > select "Accounts" > choose your "Google account" > enable "Contacts" syncing.

Step 2. Visit the Google Contacts website on your computer and log in to it with your Google account. Your contacts synced from Android will be displayed on the web page.

Step 3. Hit "Print" on the left column, select the group of contacts you want to print on the pop-up window, and then click "Print".

Cons

• Relying on a Google account, you must ensure that the contacts have been synced to the Google server, and privacy issues may be a concern for some users.

2.4 How to Print Contacts from Android Phone via Taking Screenshot

The last method to print out the contact list we want to introduce is by taking screenshots. It is a rather indirect way, so it's less recommended. You will need to take the screenshot of the contacts you want to print out one by one and transfer them to the computer, and then print out the screenshot via a printer.

Actually, the tool Coolmuster Android Assistant mentioned in Way 1 can also help you take screenshots on Android phones and save them to your PC directly. So to make the process more efficient, here we will show you how to complete the task via Android Assistant.

Step 1. After your phone is connected to Android Assistant, open the contact you want to print out and, click the "camera" icon on the main interface of Android Assistant, then save the photo to your PC.

Step 2. Copy and paste the screenshot to a Word file and then click "File" > "Print" to print out the contacts.

Of course, you can also directly take a screenshot of the contact you want to print on your mobile phone and then transfer it to the computer via USB, Google Drive, etc., for printing.

Cons

• Only a part of contacts can be screenshotted at a time, which is inefficient and suitable for a small range of contact lists.
• The screenshot printing effect is not as clear as tables or documents, and sometimes, the images may not be displayed completely.
