Is it possible to print ?

[FiveTechSoft]

What OS are you using (uname -a, or Windows version)?

What programming language are you using (C/C++/Go/Rust)?

What did you expect to see and what you saw instead?

Yes it is. Use the window.print() JavaScript function.

@abemedia I try calling window.print() in macOS and nothing happens. 😞

[abemedia]

Looks like the print functionality is in a private API (like clipboard): https://github.com/WebKit/webkit/blob/master/Source/WebKit/UIProcess/API/Cocoa/WKUIDelegatePrivate.h#L106

Unfortunately this means it can't be used in apps that are submitted to the Mac App Store 😢

@abemedia is there any solution to work around this in apps that will not be sent to the Apple store?

[abemedia]

There's actually an open issue regarding another private API - the clipboard: #425

Might just add this and implement the flag as mentioned in the ticket above to disable private APIs for app store apps.

Just checking if anyone got printing on Mac working or if there is anything blocking this being fixed ?

I need to get printing working with gioui and a webview is a good way to do it as gio mobile and desktop can render to web also.

thanks again
