    Printing directly from smartgwt application to local printer

    We have requirement of printing directly from browser , instead of downloading and printing. We need to avoid downloading the pdf in file system and need to send directly to default printer. Please help us in achieving it. Like it works on POS printers. They work without pop of print again and again.

    We're not following what you're asking for. Right in the showcase there's a print button (printer icon) and you can print without a download. The API used is Canvas.showPrintPreview().

      Here are the requirement.
      1. Dont want user to download the PDF .
      2. They should directly print the pdf to default printer attached to there system.
      3.Downloading the PDF is helping them to create multiple copies of PDF. To restrict that we want to restrict the pdf and allow them to only print the pdf.
      4. Print preview suggested by you still gives option of saving it as pdf from browser.
      5. we want to restrict user from downloading it.

      Thanks in advance.

        You can't stop the user from saving as a PDF, period, whether you use our print system or whether they just hit the print button on a page without a print preview.

        The only way to prevent saving to PDF would be to have complete control over the user's machine and install special OS-level limitations, similar to the software you see in kiosks.
