<html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> var URL = "http://localhost:8000/foobar/"; var W = window.open(URL); **Note1** W.window.print(); </script> </head> <p> Print ME...............</p> </html> I am using this script to print a webpage. My views render this page and The JS take care all other things.
But I dont want to open new window for that. So, What should I use instead of window.open(URL) so no new window opens. Similarly, I don't want to open new window for print function.So, Whenever I render this page it do all stuff on the same page. No new window, No new tab. How can I achieve this. I google but nothing seems working.

Just use window. print(); directly on the page. By itself it does not open a new window (apart from the print properties window to set printing options).
Just select the desired text on the current page and press CTRL+P. This will bring up the Print dialog, where you can simply select the "Selection" option there. This will print out only the selected text.
Google Chrome: Go to the Menu icon in the top right corner of the browser and Click on Print button. Uncheck the “Headers and footers” option underneath the “Margins” option. Apple Safari: Go to the print option from the menu and the Print dialog appears. Uncheck the “Print headers and footers” option.
You can do this using a hidden iFrame (I'm using jquery for the example):
function loadOtherPage() { $("<iframe>") // create a new iframe element .hide() // make it invisible .attr("src", "/url/to/page/to/print") // point the iframe to the page you want to print .appendTo("body"); // add iframe to the DOM to cause it to load the page } This will load the page you want to print. To print, you can add javascript code to the print page so that it gets printed after loading:
$(document).ready(function () { window.print(); }); This will print the page without showing a new window. I've tested this in IE8,9 and Google Chrome, so I'm not sure if this works for Safari or Firefox, though.

There's a nice example on MDN how to do that with a hidden iframe https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Printing#Print_an_external_page_without_opening_it
