 * Do you have a wordpress.com blog or a self-hosted WordPress site? On a self-hosted
   WP site there isn’t a Share settings section.
    Contact [WordPress.com](http://en.support.wordpress.com/)
   for support. Thanks

 * If you have a self-hosted WP site don’t bother to contact wordpress.com.
    Where
   do the Share settings come from? Are you using a plugin of some kind for printing?
   Can you post the link to your site (URL) ?

 * On the WP DASHBOARD side bar there is a SETTINGS tab. In the SETTINGS tab there
   a SHARING tab.
 * When I select SHARING it comes up with PUBLICIZE under this there are various
   share buttons and one of these is PRINT.
 * When I enable PRINT and select PRINT on any page I always receive the PRINT PREVIEW
   FAILED message
 * I am not using a plugin
 * Thank you for your kind continuing assistance with this matter

 * Not in WordPress by default. Is this a wordpress.com site or a self-hosted WordPress
   install?

 * Here’s how a default WordPress [Settings tab](http://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_General_Screen)
   looks like. No Sharing tab whatsoever. There’s one on wordpress.com blogs so…
   Either you’re on wordpress.com or you’re using a plugin.

 * Sorry for the confusion and your right about the plugin; I am using a self hosted
   WP site
 * When I downloaded WP it came with Jetpack which includes the SHARING and PUBLICIZE
   plugins, I thought this was standard with WP sorry again!
 * What is the best way forward?

 * The best way is to contact the [Jetpack support forum](http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpack).
   Firts check if someone else had a similar problem. Your problem might be already
   solved.

 * Would you recommend removing Jetpack and installing other plugins as an option?

 * I don’t know which of the Jetpack features you need (and use) so i can’t tell
   if you should remove it or not.
    If you’re interrested in the print option, you
   can look for [print plugins](http://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=print).
   I used [Print Friendly and PDF button](http://wordpress.org/plugins/printfriendly/)
   plugin and it works just fine. You could try it out.
