using p:printer

[bittersour]

Hi,

I am using p:printer to print out xhtml pages.

On IE 9 when I click the Print button, the print out is in a mess. For firefox and Chrome, the print out looks nicer.

Code: Select all

<p:commandButton value="Print" type="button" icon="ui-icon-print">  
        <p:printer target="form1" /></p:commandButton>

Screenshots? It's hard to guess what might cause this... Might be custom css that is used

Hi,

Pls see attached links. Although it might not be so clear but still able to see the messy printout on IE 9 browser.

I think these are pure css issues that need to be fixed by you. PF cannot contain all possible css corrections for all possible css things you can apply.

Hi,

BTW, IE can't use the same css as Firefox and Chrome?
Can p:printer use a print.css?

Most of the css will be identical for ie and others, and I'd expect a css with mediatype print can be used. Never tried it in this case though, give a quick try.

Hi,

Thanks for the advice. I did not using the p:printer. I added a print.css and print preview from browser working great now.
