Print Pedigree Without Spouse and His Pedigree
I'm sure there must be an obvious fix for this, but I can't find it. My mother wants a print out of her pedigree, but when I click on Tree for her it puts both her and my father in the home spot and shows his pedigree as well as hers. How can i put her by herself in the home spot? Thanks!

If you (or she) go to her person page - scroll to the bottom right Print option - hopefully that will get you what you would like.
If not you may need to use an image editor to edit parts of the tree you do not wish to appear.
There is also the Fan Chart Tree view option - in that view you can view your mother's tree - with only her in the home position - and even more generations than the Pedigree view. This is the best FamilySearch solution for your request but has some drawbacks due to size when printing if you use the browser print command - but on the screen viewing is fine and if you use the chart Print menu option (as shown below) - it prints a very nice fan chart on the page.
As @Gordon Collett is discussing below - some of the browser Print options may not be optimized to print to file/paper well (you may need to zoom to 75% which at that point may make the print unreadable) - so there are some FamilySearch Chart Solutions you may want to investigate:

When on the Landscape pedigree view, there is no way to show her by herself in the home spot short of deleting the relationship between her and her husband temporarily. However, that screen view is really not designed to be printed. If you just use your browser's print button, you don't get a very good results. Instead, you need to use the Print button under the Options button:
This generates the same landscape pedigree as the one @genthusiast showed you how to get to. This one still prints the spouse's name, but none of the spouse's family.
If you are referring to the portrait pedigree, using the print button under options likewise shows the spouse but not the spouse's family even though on the screen you see the spouse's family. I'll illustrate in the next two posts.

Again, this is using the Print function under the options button. If you just use your browser's Print command, you don't even get the whole page. All you get is this:

Another solution is to temporarily detach her from her husband and children. Do that from her husband's profile. Then print her pedigree. Then, again from her husband's profile, re-attach her to him and their children.

@SanofskyT Yes. You can save to file or print to pdf - whatever is available in your system/browser - then attach/send that file. If mom has a FamilySearch account you can even send it through the FamilySearch messaging system.

Thank you for all the detailed responses! I am traveling for the rest of the day, but will try these suggestions tomorrow.
I should have also asked: can I download and then email the result, once I get the pedigree set up for printing?

Yes. You can download a PDF file or, if you are using a web browser not the Family Tree mobile app, you can print to a PDF file. Either way, you can then email the PDF file.
