PDF printing from Selenium with chromedriver

Question

I am trying to implement printing html/css contents as PDF with Selenium, chromedriver and python.

I could printing with a below code, but I cannot change printing setting. I would like to print in Letter size and no header/footer. Official information chromedriver or Selenium doesn't tell me a lot, so I'm in trouble. Does anyone know that how printing setting can be changed or it can never be done.

import json
import os
from selenium import webdriver

# setting html path
htmlPath = os.getcwd() + "\\sample.html"
addr = "file:///" + htmlPath

# setting Chrome Driver
chromeOpt = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
appState = {
   "recentDestinations": [
        {
            "id": "Save as PDF",
            "origin": "local",
            "account": ""
        }
    ],
    "selectedDestinationId": "Save as PDF",
    "version": 2
}
prefs = {
    'printing.print_preview_sticky_settings.appState': json.dumps(appState)}
chromeOpt.add_experimental_option('prefs', prefs)
chromeOpt.add_argument('--kiosk-printing')
driver = webdriver.Chrome('.\\bin\\chromedriver', options=chromeOpt)

# HTML open and print
driver.get(addr)
driver.execute_script('return window.print()')

Answer 1

Add --headless and try it like this:

pdf = driver.execute_cdp_cmd("Page.printToPDF", {
  "printBackground": True
})

import base64

with open("file.pdf", "wb") as f:
  f.write(base64.b64decode(pdf['data']))

Here are some options you can fiddle with
