How to send a file directly to the printer without using window.print() in php/javascript

Question

I need to print a pdf file directly without showing print preview. When i am using

window.print() it goes to windows print preview page. But i need to send the file directly to the printer without showing print preview page

Could you give us one solid reason why you dont want to do that ? — rahul, Mar 02 '16 at 04:35

Thats not possible with pure javascript and html. You'll need to use silverlight 5 (Signed), flash or qz-print - js wrapper which uses java.

For i.e. specific solution following may work

I have personally implemented only silverlight 5 (Signed), I have not my self implemented flash and qz-print.

Hope this helps!

Then I'll wish you luck my friend! I am 100% sure pure html and js won't cut it. You'll need to add some native component. You can write a browser add-on if its not a public site. Anyways! Best of luck my friend. – Dave Amit Mar 02 '16 at 05:46

Browsers will not allow that to happen. You can use the below plugin to provide beautiful previews.
