If you are using iCloud to manage your contacts, you can log into iCloud.com and access Contacts there. Then you can print from there. I'm not sure that you can just hit print once and it print off of your contact cards. I also know that you can save your Contacts from there as vf cards or a csv file.

It sounds as if you have contacts being managed by more that one account. If it is one of your email accounts, check that in settings about getting a vcard file of those contacts and then you can add that file to your iCloud contacts. Check Settings>Contacts and see what your default account is for Contacts to be sure.

I have over 600 contacts but only about 100 show up on iCloud and some of those aren’t current. I’d to have them all on iCloud account but not sure how to go about making that happen. I was going to try turning contacts off & on again to see if it would then populate but I chickened out when asked to keep on phone or not for fear of losing them all. I appreciate your quick reply and information unfortunately, I don’t think that’s going to work for me, at least not yet.

I have five email accounts. How do I tell each one to make vCard files of the contacts in each one? Do I then add them to the iCloud email or iCloud contacts and when I end up with duplicates in my contacts (as opposed to creating a link)?

If I were to make iCloud the default email account, turn off iCloud contact syncing (& should I keep them on device or not) and then turn it back on, will it automatically make all of my contacts revert to iCloud?
