Print chart in Chrome build by Chart jS using javascript

Question

I have the below code

function PrintImage(id) {
    var canvas = document.getElementById(id);
    var win = window.open();
    win.document.write("<br><img src='" + canvas.toDataURL() + "'/>");
    win.print();
    win.location.reload();
}

I am trying to print the chart that i render through Chart JS. It is working in IE but not in chrome. Can someone have a look at the code and tell me what I might be doing wrong. In chrome the print window opens but it is just all white.

Thanks

The snippet below runs on JSFiddle. Remember to enable pop ups for chrome, if you want your pop ups not to get blocked by chrome have a look at this question.

function PrintImage() {
    id = 'chart';
    var canvas = document.getElementById(id);
    var win = window.open(canvas.toDataURL(), '_blank');
    
    win.document.write("<br><img src='" + canvas.toDataURL() + "'/>");
    win.print();
    win.location.reload();
}
 

function drawImage(){
    var ctx = $("canvas")[0].getContext("2d"),
        img = new Image();
    
    img.onload = function(){
        ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0, 500, 500);
        $("span").text("Loaded.");
    };
    img.src = "https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ7udaoWuG0i57WCc7OyxkWG0jCkqMIBa7D7ff2Dk1Fk7rCsoQr";
    img.crossOrigin ="anonymous";
    $("span").text("Loading...");
}

$("#add").click(drawImage); 
$("#print").click(PrintImage);
