This actually prints the entire slide with notes, and only for slides with notes. What would be helpful is a setting to only print the notes, on one or two pages as necessary.

This is nuts. It’s now 2019, and it still appears to be impossible to print Powerpoint notes only – despite the heading saying “how to print only notes” in Powerpoint. I’ve tried about a dozen different solutions that claim to let you print “only notes”, and they ALL print notes with slides.
Come on, Microsoft. This isn’t rocket science! How the heck do I just print out notes and no slides?
