When you press the Print button in Excel, the entire worksheet gets printed by default, which often ends up printing multiple pages.

It becomes difficult for the users to read the data without the headers, every time they have to turn the page back to checking the headings. Luckily, Excel provides the features to publish titles on every printed page easily.
