Quick Print HTML5 Canvas

I want to send/print the canvas image directly to the default printer. That means a quick printing.

Anyone can give a hint.

Javascript or jQuery.

Solution

  • I have searched alot and found a solution which works perfectly :) Used onclick event

    function printCanvas()  
{  
    var dataUrl = document.getElementById('anycanvas').toDataURL(); //attempt to save base64 string to server using this var  
    var windowContent = '<!DOCTYPE html>';
    windowContent += '<html>'
    windowContent += '<head><title>Print canvas</title></head>';
    windowContent += '<body>'
    windowContent += '<img src="' + dataUrl + '">';
    windowContent += '</body>';
    windowContent += '</html>';
    var printWin = window.open('','','width=340,height=260');
    printWin.document.open();
    printWin.document.write(windowContent);
    printWin.document.close();
    printWin.focus();
    printWin.print();
    printWin.close();
}
