GD Image not printing


Driftek

Recommended Posts

I have created an image using the GD Library use Ajax to change parts of the image. For some reason it just wont print. When I print the image it is only printing the layer of the image that is hard coded.  I can save the image then print it but other than that it wont work, it only prints the hard coded layers and not the data pulled out of variables.

If you go to the link above and make a few layer changes and try to print the image you will see the issue. Any help is appreciated.

When it comes to your printing JS I would recommend you avoid the popup and instead replace the current page with just the image. For example:

 

HTML gets setup like this

<style type="text/css">
#printView { display: none; }
body.print #printView { display: block; }
body.print #buildView { display: none; }
</style>
<body>
 <div id="printView"><p>Hit CTRL+P to print</p><img id="printImage"></div>
 <div id="buildView">...current content...<button type="button" id="printButton">PRINT</button></div>
</body>
//Using jQuery for simplicity
jQuery(function($){
    $('#printButton').click(function(){
        $('body').addClass('print');

        var url = $('#bed').attr('src');
        $('#printImage').attr('src', url);
    });
});
Fiddle demo

 

When I tried the page in Chrome the print didn't do anything because chrome was blocking your popup window. Even after I enabled popups all I got was a blank window with no image. The above solution would work better and more consistently.
