News module - can window.print() be used in {$entry->printlink}

Post by elin.rand.nielsen »

Hi

I have a question regarding the News module

On the detailed news pages, there can be a print-link on the bottom of the page. That opens a new page - but the window.print() function is not used. There doesn't show up a box where printer can be chosen - like if the print icon on the standard pages (following installation of cmsms).

Does anyone know how to make that happen.

Yours, elin

It sounds like a "printer friendly content"(may be without to much navigation messing the content). Then the user can freely use its browsing software printing features (toolbar, menus, keyboard shortcuts...)

The content should be free of scripting and interactive buttons. Printing should be handling by CSS (media: print) and the browser.
