Kiosk Printing Flag

[R2D2]

I see that the Chromium project has supported the --kiosk-printing flag for quite some time and it works well in Chrome for bypassing all print dialogs and enabling silent printing.

Is this something that is available in PWB V3 CEF? I tried the options in the INI file and tried adding the flag to the executable shortcut, but wasn't successful.

If this isn't currently available is it something that could be easily added? We utilize this for all of our receipt printers at the catalog stations to allow customers the option of printing a slip of paper with the book they are trying to find.

Thanks for your consideration and for this amazing browser!

Currently the --kiosk-printing flag is not supported in the Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF). CEF is always evolving so as soon as it is support PWB CEF will gain the functionality.

Thanks for the quick reply! My mistake, I totally overlooked that CEF was different from the default Chromium project.

Are there currently any work arounds for this that anyone knows of?

Thanks!

Hi all,

I have a similar use case - we would like to use PWB (CEF version) in an application that will be printing receipts. It works, but shows the dialog and users have to select the printer and hit print. Has there been any progress on a

Code: Select all

--kiosk-printing

equivalent for PWB/CEF?

Try setting the following in your INI file.

[Printer]
ForcePrintPreview=True
