Menu
I've been printing my page using the code below:
window.print();
An image below is what the print preview in Google chrome browser looks like. It has two main buttons: print and cancel.
I want to know if the user has clicked the print or cancel buttons. What I did uses jquery:
HTML Code of the Print Preview:
<button class="print default" i18n-content="printButton">Print</button>
<button class="cancel" i18n-content="cancel">Cancel</button>
Jquery Code:
$('button > .cancel').click(function (e) {
alert('Cancel');
});
$('button > .print').click(function (e) {
alert('Print');
});
I tried the code above with no luck. What am I missing?

Navigate to your computer's desktop and right click on the Google Chrome icon. A menu will appear, select the “Properties” option from the menu. A properties window will be displayed. Locate the “Target” field in this window and append a space and the text -disable-print-preview to the end of existing string of text.
Windows & Linux: Ctrl + p. Mac: ⌘ + p.
You can not access Chrome's internal windows (printing dialog in this case) directly from a regular web page.
(function () {
var beforePrint = function () {
alert('Functionality to run before printing.');
};
var afterPrint = function () {
alert('Functionality to run after printing');
};
if (window.matchMedia) {
var mediaQueryList = window.matchMedia('print');
mediaQueryList.addListener(function (mql) {
//alert($(mediaQueryList).html());
if (mql.matches) {
beforePrint();
} else {
afterPrint();
}
});
}
window.onbeforeprint = beforePrint;
window.onafterprint = afterPrint;
}());
Or, If you want to do something when the print preview gets opened, you can try below:
$(document).bind("keyup keydown", function (e) {
if (e.ctrlKey && e.keyCode == 80) {
setTimeout(function () { CallAfterWindowLoad();}, 5000);
return true;
}
});
function CallAfterWindowLoad()
{
alert("Open and call");
}

Maybe if you provide your requirements for this two buttons click event, we can provide you an alternate solution.

it is very easily possible:
<body onafterprint="myFunction()">
The myFunction() that you can define within a tag will be fire when either the printing job is done or the cancel button was pressed.
