working with Printer

[salvadordf]

Hi,

Hi All!
Can I use in CEF chrome.printerprovider API?
if not- can any help me with some ideas about how to catch an attemp to print from CEF?

I've never tried that API in CEF and I can't find anyone asking about it.
I guess you can only test it for yourself or ask in the official CEF3 forum. Remember that CEF4Delphi is just a CEF3 wrapper.

how I can catch up or redirect Ctrl+P or windows.print() in my Delphi app win CEF4Delphi?
as I can see in demo and in BriskBard browser - it not so easy ... isn't?
I need in my app redirect any attempting to print web-page to printtopdf function instead standard print due I've need to print header and footer in pages.

As far as I know, CEF3 doesn't give you the possibility to redirect any print job. The demos and BriskBard use the standard CEF3 printing procedures.

I can only suggest these solutions :

• Find a PDF printer driver that allows you to add custom headers and footers to all the print jobs and install it in the client computer. Remove all other printers from Windows control panel and you will not have to redirect printing jobs because there's only one printer available.
• Use the Detours library to hook PrintDlg and PrintDlgEx. I've never tried this but if Chromium code uses PrintDlg or PrintDlgEx to show the printer selection dialog then you can intercept those calls and print directly to PDF. Here's the library : https://github.com/MahdiSafsafi/delphi-detours-library

I use the Detours library to remove a DOS window that pops up every time the Flash plugin is executed. You have more details here :
