Print dialog is not showing in Chrome

        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            async: true,
            url: '/BarcodePrintTest/PrintBarcodeLabel1',
            data: JSON.stringify(dataToSend),
            contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
            dataType: "json",
            success: function (data) {
                if (data != "") {
                    newWin.document.write('</head><body >');
                    newWin.document.write(JSON.stringify(data.replace(/\r\n/g, "<br/>")));
                    newWin.document.write('</body></html>');
                    newWin.document.close();
                    newWin.resizeTo(0, 0);
                    newWin.moveTo(0, window.screen.availHeight + 10);
                    newWin.focus();
                    newWin.print();
                   // setTimeout(function () { newWin.close(); }, 1);
                    newWin.close();
                    return false;
                   // window.location = '@Url.Action("Create", "BarcodePrintTest")';
                }
                newWin.close();
                return false;
            },
            error: function () {
                alert('Error in print');
            }

This is my code ... It is prompting print dialoge in Firefox,IE and Safari perfectly but didn't promt the dialog in chrome browser. Have gone through many threds but unable to produce solution.

Finally it works for me in chrome.

Here is my code

 var newWin = window.open("","",'width=0,height=0');
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            async: true,
            url: '/BarcodePrintTest/PrintBarcodeLabel1',
            data: JSON.stringify(dataToSend),
            contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
            dataType: "json",
            success: function (data) {
                if (data != "") {
                    debugger
                    if (navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf('chrome') > -1) {   // Chrome Browser Detected?
                        newWin.PPClose = false;                                     // Clear Close Flag
                        newWin.onbeforeunload = function () {                         // Before Window Close Event
                            if (newWin.PPClose === false) {                           // Close not OK?
                                return 'Leaving this page will block the parent window!\nPlease select "Stay on this Page option" and use the\nCancel button instead to close the Print Preview Window.\n';
                            }
                        }
                        newWin.document.write('</head><body >');
                        newWin.document.write(JSON.stringify(data.replace(/\r\n/g, "<br/>")));
                        newWin.document.write('</body></html>');
                        newWin.document.close();
                       // newWin.resizeTo(0, 0);
                        //newWin.moveTo(0, window.screen.availHeight + 10);
                       // newWin.focus();
                        newWin.print();                                             // Print preview
                        newWin.close();
                        newWin.PPClose = true;                                      // Set Close Flag to OK.
                    }
