Printing Frontend Pages

With the Web component, you can print HTML pages through W3C standards-compliant APIs or application APIs.

To start off, declare related permissions in the module.json5 file. For details, see Declaring Permissions.

  "requestPermissions":[
      {
        "name" : "ohos.permission.PRINT"
      }
    ]

Initiating a Print Task Through the W3C Standards-compliant API

The printing process with W3C is as follows: A print adapter is created, the print application is started, the current web page content is rendered, and the PDF file generated after rendering is transferred to the print framework through the file descriptor (FD). Use the window.print() method to print the current document or open the print dialog box. This method does not have any parameter; simply call it in JavaScript.

You can use the frontend CSS styles, for example, @media print, to control the printed content. Then load the HTML page in the Web component.

Sample code of the print.html page:

  <!DOCTYPE html>
  <html>

  <head>
      <meta charset="utf-8">
      <title>printTest</title>
      <style>
          @media print {
              h1 {
                  display: none;
              }
          }
      </style>
  </head>

  <body>
      <div>
          <h1><b>
                  <center>This is a test page for printing</center>
              </b>
              <hr color=#00cc00 width=95%>
          </h1>
          <button class="Button Button--outline" onclick="window.print();">Print</button>
          <p> content content content </p>
          <div id="printableTable">
              <table>
                  <thead>
                      <tr>
                          <td>Thing</td>
                          <td>Chairs</td>
                      </tr>
                  </thead>
                  <tbody>
                      <tr>
                          <td>1</td>
                          <td>blue</td>
                      </tr>
                      <tr>
                          <td>2</td>
                          <td>green</td>
                      </tr>
                  </tbody>
              </table>
          </div>
          <p> content content content </p>
          <p> content content content </p>
      </div>
  </body>

Application code:

  import { webview } from '@kit.ArkWeb';

  @Entry
  @Component
  struct Index {
    controller: webview.WebviewController = new webview.WebviewController();

    build() {
      Row() {
        Column() {
          Web({ src: $rawfile("print.html"), controller: this.controller })
            .javaScriptAccess(true)
        }
        .width('100%')
      }
      .height('100%')
    }
  }

Initiating a Print Task Through the Application API

On the application side, call createWebPrintDocumentAdapter to create a print adapter and pass the adapter to the print API to initiate printing.

// xxx.ets
import { webview } from '@kit.ArkWeb';
import { BusinessError } from '@kit.BasicServicesKit';
import { print } from '@kit.BasicServicesKit'

@Entry
@Component
struct WebComponent {
  controller: webview.WebviewController = new webview.WebviewController();

  build() {
    Column() {
      Button('createWebPrintDocumentAdapter')
        .onClick(() => {
          try {
            let webPrintDocadapter = this.controller.createWebPrintDocumentAdapter('example.pdf');
            print.print('example_jobid', webPrintDocadapter, null, getContext());
          } catch (error) {
            console.error(`ErrorCode: ${(error as BusinessError).code},  Message: ${(error as BusinessError).message}`);
          }
        })
      Web({ src: 'www.example.com', controller: this.controller })
    }
  }
}
