Abstract:
Variety of approaches to provide content and attachment printing for a communication are described. A productivity application initiates operations to provide content and attachment printing for a communication upon detecting an intent of a recipient to execute a print operation associated with the communication. Next, a content of the communication or attachment(s) associated with the communication is identified. A print menu is also provided. The print menu includes options for the print operation while displaying the content and representations of the attachment(s) together. In response to detecting a hover action on the print menu, an option for the print operation is highlighted. The option is associated with the content of the communication and/or attachment(s) associated with the communication. Upon receiving a selection of the option for the print operation, the print operation is performed without downloading the attachment(s) to a local storage.
