Can I deactivate "open in new window"?

I have no reliable solution to closing the window after printing that works on all browsers without screwing things up in some cases – if anyone has a solution please post.
The content of the window is deliberately obscured becasue what you see is not what you get when you print – this is because the output is formatted for the printed page and not for the browser window. If you saw this output in the browser window it would stop a lot of people from going ahead and printing because they’d think it was going to look bad. However if you wish to make the change and display the content in the window then you just have to edit the file productprint.css to remove display:none !important; on the container media rule. Take a look and you’ll see where this is. Looks like this.

#container {
    display: none !important;
}

This makes sense, yes.

What about closing the extra window after the printing? Would that work?

Thanks a lot!

It would be great to get that window to close by itself; I’ve been unable to find a way to do this reliably, and once that window is spawned it’s over to the browser to deal with it, the plug-in is out of the loop. At least with the way the plug-in is built today. If a few more people would be so kind (and adventurous!) to upgrade to the premium version I could invest some further time into it and then trickle the improvements down into the free version, but right now it has to stay as it is.

OK, I understand.

I remember times on the web when the print version worked like this:

-Click on the “Print me” link
-PopUp would open (window.open) in the right size for A4
-Stuff to print would load inside the popup
-Print dialog would start by itself
-Popup would close automatically or manually after print job was done.

I think I will develop someting like this from scratch.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hello again.

I just gave it a try:

`#container {
display: none !important;
}

and I can say that the now visible page looks exactly as it came out of the printer. Nothing strange or garbled or weird to it.

So, I’ll now try to open this in a new window and make some miror changes to the CSS…that should do the trick.

Thanks!

Why not use the Magnific Popup script to load up the printing page?
