Printing CSS in ASP.NET without a print dialog box or a pop-up confirmation message after successful printing

My goal is to create a list of greeting cards, each printed to a specific size (A4 folded down the longer edge), using HTML and CSS. I want the cards to be rotated 90° on the page. Ideally, I'd like to print the list without viewing the HTML and bypassing the print dialog, only showing a modal confirmation dialog after printing for user input.

My questions are as follows:

  1. If I use divs for each card, do I simply rotate them in the CSS and add page breaks to define new pages for printing? I'm struggling with the CSS aspect, so any recommendations for helpful resources would be appreciated.

  2. Do I need to specify the page size, or will the printer automatically adjust if the correct paper size is loaded?

  3. How can I print without the browser's print dialog? (This question has been answered)

  4. How can I determine when the printing job has finished?

  5. Would it be more beneficial to utilize a PDF library for this task?

Answer №1

  3. Is there a way to bypass the browser's print dialog when printing?

Unfortunately, it is not possible to bypass the browser's print dialog as it is a security measure put in place by browsers. The only option available is to trigger the print dialog using Javascript, but the user will still need to confirm the action.

Alternatively, you can generate a PDF of the content and allow the user to manually print the PDF by clicking the print button.
