    .

    FYI

    .

    IF, you are referring to, "Printing" (or, even "Downloading"), your ENTIRE "Ancestral" Lines (as, we do not have a 'Tree', only 'Branches'), in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'; THEN, ...

    .

    Short Answer: You CANNOT.

    .

    There is NO option in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' to "Print" (or, even "Download"), your ENTIRE "Ancestral" Lines.

    .

    The "Printing", in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch', is LIMITED to, the "Printing" of, either, a "Family Group Sheet"; and/or, a x4 Generation, "Pedigree Chart", for AN individual/person, that is all.

    .

    But ...

    That said ...

    .

    There is a alternative ...

    .

    The best option for "Printing" your "Ancestral" Lines from "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' is to use one of the "Third Party" Applications (being one of the "Family Tree Management" programmes) that is "Certified" to work with "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.

    .

    The "Third Party" Applications that are "Certified" to work with "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' can be found in the "Solutions Gallery" of 'FamilySearch'.

    .

    Here is a direct link to the "Solutions Gallery" of 'FamilySearch':

    https://partners.familysearch.org/solutionsgallery/s/

    .

    And, here is the direct link to the "Family Tree Management programmes" themselves:

    https://partners.familysearch.org/solutionsgallery/s/list?category=family_tree_management

    .

    "Third Party" Applications that are "Certified" to work with "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' include, BOTH, 'On-Line' "Websites" (eg. "Ancestry_com"; or "MyHeritage_com"; or, the like); and/or, 'standalone' personal (computer) programmes ("Ancestral Quest"; or, the like).

    .

    Some of the "Third Party" Applications that are "Certified" to work with "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' have, BOTH, a Basic FREE version; and/or, a Premium PIAD (ie. "Subscription") version, the latter just having more 'Bells and Whistles'. The Basic FREE version is sufficient for most, the average, User/Patron. Whereas, the Premium PAID (ie. "Subscription") version is the choice of most experienced and 'power' Users/Patrons.

    .

    You can use ONE or MORE than one, of the the "Third Party" Applications, the choice is yours.

    .

    Most of the "Third Party" Applications that are "Certified" to work with "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' that are "Family Tree Management programmes, have INTERFACES that work/connect (directly) with "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' that can, "Download"; and, "Upload" (ie. "Transfer) between the "Third Party" Application and "Family Tree".

    .

    As well as the "Family Tree Management programmes", there are also "Printing" and "Chart" programmes ...

    .

    And, here is the direct link to the "Chart" programmes" themselves:

    https://partners.familysearch.org/solutionsgallery/s/list?category=charts

    .

    I hope this helps.

    .

    There IS a descendancy VIEW in FamilySearch that you can take down 4 generations on all lines.

    you can then print that view by using your browsers print option

    (I prefer to PRINT to PDF) so as not to waste paper

     

    here is an example of a descndancy view

    https://www.familysearch.org/tree/pedigree/descendancy/KWCF-5W9

    (you can then click on the "4" on the scale to exapnd it out to 4e generations

     

    and then you can simply right click on the page and see your browsers print otpion.

    You can also manually extend each generation that has an arrow that points to the right. If you also turn off the portraits in the descendancy chart, you will get more people on each page.
