Bind a value and Print the External HTML using AngularJS without loading into the browser

I'm having 2 HTML Views one is for application purpose and another one is for Printing purpose. Just consider the two file names Application.html and PrintForm.html

Sample HTML Script of Application.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.4.8/angular.min.js"></script>
<body>

<div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="myCtrl">

First Name: <input type="text" ng-model="firstName"><br>
Last Name: <input type="text" ng-model="lastName"><br>
<br>
  
Full Name: {{firstName + " " + lastName}}<br>
<br> Click here to <a href="#">Print</a>

</div>

<script>
var app = angular.module('myApp', []);
app.controller('myCtrl', function($scope) {
    $scope.firstName = "John";
    $scope.lastName = "Doe";
});
</script>

</body>
</html>

Sample HTML Script of PrintForm.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>

<h1 class="visible">My First Name is {{  }}</h1>
<h1 class="visible">My Last Name is {{  }}</h1>

<p>The Value fetched from Application.html</p>

</body>
</html>

If I click the Print hyperlink from Application.html, I need to print PrintForm.html with data binded from app.controller $scope

$scope.firstName = "John";
$scope.lastName = "Doe";

The expected output screen is

Print From Application.html

I don't need to load the Printing content into the browser, it directly trigger the Printer Dialog to print, after print hyperlink gets hit.

My expected action after hitting the Print Hyperlink in the Application.html should be as

Print Dialog

Note: Don't use iFrame or any other inner View for the PrintForm.html

<br>
  
Full Name: {{firstName + " " + lastName}}<br>
<br> Click here to <a href="#" ng-click="printDiv('PrintID')">Print</a>

</div>

<div id="PrintID" style="visibility: collapse;">
<h1 class="visible">My First Name is {{ firstName }}</h1>

$scope.printDiv = function(divName) {
  var printContents = document.getElementById(divName).innerHTML;
  var popupWin = window.open('', '_blank', 'width=300,height=300');
  popupWin.document.open();
  popupWin.document.write('<html><head><title>Print<title></head><body onload="window.print()">' + printContents + '</body></html>');
  popupWin.document.close();
