chrome- print without dialog box - javascript

I have a screen with a note printer which I want the user to be able to print automatically without needing to confirm.
How can I print through Java Script or JQuery in Chrome without opening the printing dialog box?

I think on click button, you just call window.print() function.
<a href='#' id='PrintPage' onclick='window.print();'> Click Here For Printing</a>
I hope this resolve your issue.

Close Chrome Print Preview Dialogue Box Using Javascipt

window.print() method will open print preview dialogue box. How to close that box using javascript.
Can we use Custom Events to dispatch "esc key", but don't know where to dispatch(Element).
I am afraid that you can't do this. Just like alert dialog, the print dialog will block the browser until you click cancel button or save button. You can try to run some codes when the print dialog is hanging, then you will find you can just input the codes in console but there is no output and the codes are not running. So I think you can't do that using javascript.

Can i trigger click on window.printer page in javascript'?

I want to trigger click on save button, on the page that comes right after window.print();
Is it possible? if yes, then please help.
window.print() opens the Print dialog box.
Mine has no Save button anywhere on it, and there is no way to interact with something that doesn't exist at all.
That said, browsers do not provide any mechanism for JavaScript to interact with any part of the Print dialog box at all.

Use a JavaScript Modal popup! eg. JQuery UI Modal Popup
This is a browser matter, so you as a developer cant do anything with that behavior.
Here is a similar question
already answered here
unfortunately you can't be sure that user has his browser settings with javascript alerts popup on ( that called with 'alert('...') function').
You should use javascript dialog plygin instead.
For example:
http://fancybox.net/
its a browser property for the client,if he doesnt want to view these alerts. you cant remove that check box and message.
if this message is shown then what the problem, leave it for the user.
why you want to force him to view these alerts,
it must be user's wish to see or not see these alerts.
for better user experience and for your purpose you can use fancybox or facebox

Block rest of the view except a particular element

Sorry for the title couldn't come with a better one...Okay here's is my doubt, when we display a javascript alert using alert("Some text") we see the alert dialog , Now the enter UI except the dialog box is unresponsive unless we hit Ok or close the alert window, Same goes for the confirm dialog. I am trying to build a widget to display my custom Confirm dialog using HTML elements but I don't know how to block the UI, The user if he wants can ignore the dialog & click other elements on the UI, Any suggestions or workarounds on blocking?
You could build a simple overlay with your dialog. Your dialog could be absolutely positioned on the screen, allowing users to either click it or other elments to the side of it.

Use System Print Dialog in Chrome in JavaScript

We have an issue where Chrome's "Print Preview" does not print our pages correctly. If you use the "Use System Print Dialog link" (Ctrl+Shift+P), it prints our page fine (almost identically to Firefox).
We have a button on our page that calls window.print() to open the print dialog. However, in Chrome it opens to the "Print Preview" dialog which ends up not printing our page correctly.
Is there away with JavaScript to print directly to the "system print dialog" in Chrome?
P.S.
I do know how the end user can disable the Print Preview in chrome://flags, but what I want to know is there anyway to prevent it from showing when I programmatically call window.print() (or similar) regardless of user settings.
Print dialogs are not scriptable using JavaScript. They're proprietary parts of browsers themselves.
Hi i am facing the same issue... I even tried firing keyboard event ctrl+shift+P from my script in order to show system print dialog.
You can fire a keyboard event and that issue is successfully dispatched, however the value of keyCode that the browser receives is always 0 (instead of ASCII value of ‘P’)
There is a bug logged https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16735 against webkit for the same… and here are some posts http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=27048, http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=52408 mentioning the same issue in Safari and Chrome…
