At the top right-hand side of any printable Blackboard document, you'll see a print button: 

Printing Using Ally

The Ally Tools in Blackboard allow you to view content in alternative formats. Using the alternative formats can help you create a printable version.

Not all content has Alternative formats.  You will know if Ally is available by the presence of the Ally indicator.
