When I try to print a document when using Preview V 11.0 (1042.1), the printing dialog page is too large that I cannot reach the print icon at the bottom of the box.
The only fix is to go to System Preferences, Display and click on a smaller text screen Icon.
Apple should think about a fix to allow bad eyes users to use adapted scale resolution.
Take care and stay safe!

I see now. I temporarily changed the resolution on my mac and I confirm that, even with everything at its minimum - I hid the Toolbar and tab bar to make the window as tight as possible - the print and cancel and PDF buttons are nearly completely offscreen.
Besides writing feedback: https://www.apple.com/feedback
here are a few things you can do:
1) Use Enter to print, Escape to cancel - actually, that is what I always do, even with the buttons in sight.
2) If you need to use "Save as PDF", which is hidden under the PDF button/menu, you can add a keyboard shortcut for it.
3) You could try the second option for the resolution, and when needed, temporarily zoom your screen.
I often do that (well, actually I keep the default resolution, and zoom in when needed).
The default to zoom is holding down the Control key, and doing a two finger scroll gesture on the trackpad (Control-scroll up to zoom in, Control-scroll down to zoom out again).
These settings can be changed in System Settings->Accessibility

While you have it with a different resolution, try resizing the print window by dragging the edges.
That should do it.
Thanks Luis for the advice.
The print dialog boxe is unfortunately already at its minimum size.... I wish we could reduce it more.
Best regards,

Thanks for all those good ideas.
But we all agree, Apple should do something to solve this issue.
Take care and stay safe.

Use the feedback link.
I hope it is fixed, but don't hold your breath.
Issue is not fixed.
But now I know that you are using the same trick as I to find out the hidden buttons.
Thanks
