How do I print a list of my Categories? (Q Mac)

Question

I am answering my own question because no one has answered this and the same posted questions I have seen for Macs are closed.

WHY Quicken can not make this an easy option, I do not understand.

Windows users talk about pulling up the Category List and using the keyboard shortcut to print. This is not possible in Quicken for Mac.

The only solution I see is to do a screenshot - Shift/Command/5 - retrieve them from your desktop and print the list that way.

Quicken Classic for Mac version 7.9.1; MacOS 14.6.1

@jamie84  Every feature takes time to design, code and test. The Quicken Mac development team is quite small, so even though this might be a fairly easy feature to add, it's a question of which features they decide to prioritize. I'm confident this will get implemented at some point, but in my opinion it's just not seen as critical a need as other missing or under-powered features.

Prior to buying my 1st Mac, I was a Windows user and have been using Quicken since the beginning.  I switched to Mac after I retired since I no longer needed my PC for work purposes.  My biggest regret to the switch is Quicken.  There are SO many features lacking in the Mac version.  Every time I come across a missing feature, I ask myself "Why am I paying the same subscription price as a Windows user?"  I really think there should be a separate pricing structure for each platform.  They cannot give us a Print a Category Listing option.  Really?

The workaround is to screenshot the Categories window a page at a time. (I know it's a pain.) Now that macOS Preview does very good OCR, it's pretty easy to copy the text out of the screenshots and paste it into a document for printing to get it more condensed.
