Close the window when Chrome print dialog is clicked












1















I want to close the current tab in Chrome when the print button in Print Dialog is clicked by the user. I tried with window.print() and setTimeout(), but this will close the dialog even if the print is canceled by the CANCEL button.
Is there is any solution for this?



This is what I have done so far:



function printThis(){

    window.print();

    setTimeout(function(){

        window.close();

    },5000);

}





javascript

  • Can you share the code you have tried ? I believe you need to stop that event from implementing that default behaviour , you would need to preventDefault() method.

  • Why don't you remove the window.print() command from the function? That way it wll close after 5 seconds after that function is invoked.

please use this code.



window.addEventListener("beforeprint", function(event) { ... });

//or

window.onbeforeprint = function(event) { ... };


window.onbeforeprint will be called when press Ctrl+p or else for opening print dialog



e.g



window.addEventListener("beforeprint", 

                        function(event) {

                            window.close();

                        });


or if you want to close window after print button pressed, please use window.onafterprint like this



window.onafterprint = function(){

   window.close()

}

You can call the this method in onload, once this print dialog is dismissed the alert prompt will automatically be called and ask the user whether print or not if print has been done, the user will be automatically redirected to the page.



If you want to close the window you should open the particular window by window.open method, you cannot close the window by just opening by URL or redirects.



Example:



window.open("https://yourside.com", "_blank", "toolbar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,top=500,left=500,width=400,height=400");


Then you can call window.close in the window which is opened by window.open.



window.onload = function () {

    window.print();

    setTimeout(function(){ if(confirm("Have you printed ?")) { window.location.href="/your_page"; } }, 1);

}

    You can call the this method in onload, once this print dialog is dismissed the alert prompt will automatically be called and ask the user whether print or not if print has been done, the user will be automatically redirected to the page.



    If you want to close the window you should open the particular window by window.open method, you cannot close the window by just opening by URL or redirects.



    Example:



    window.open("https://yourside.com", "_blank", "toolbar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,top=500,left=500,width=400,height=400");


    Then you can call window.close in the window which is opened by window.open.



    window.onload = function () {
    
    window.print();
    
    setTimeout(function(){ if(confirm("Have you printed ?")) { window.location.href="/your_page"; } }, 1);
