I have a crystal report,print Mode is set to ActiveX. When clicking on the Print button in crystal reports viewer using IE , the printer dialog appears properly. When using Firefox or Chrome it asking me to print to pdf. Is there any way to open the printer dialog with firefox and chrome?
Chrome removed the ability to disable print preview, but on Windows you can still disable it if you modify the application shortcut:
add --disable-print-preview to the end of the "Destination", so it read something like:
"C:\Users\MyUser\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"
-- disable-print-preview
This will make CTRL+P default to the regular OS-specific print dialog. Ctrl+shift+P also works, for those who can remember the hotkey every time.

In my browser extension, I am trying to upload a file from my computer. When I click on "select a file" option inside my browser (), the file selection dialog box underlays behind the popup window.
This appears only when the browser is in full screen mode and on MAC OS. Once I switch the tab or remove full screen mode it overlays as expected.
Can someone please provide a solution or workaround to this issue?
I encountered the same issue recently with a Chrome extension. How did the issue appear? I don't think I've changed anything, it seems to have appeared out of nowhere.
If you have any insights, I'm interested in collaborating with you to debug the issue with my own extension. Let me know!
I use vim and Firefox + Vimperator, now I want to be able to create page screenshots with Vimperator by a single Vimperator command to create a thumbnail of websites later.
Vimperator seems to not have a screenshot functionality. I know you can do it through the debugger or the developer Toolbar using Shift+F2 to open it and then screenshot --fullpage and I even can open the Toolbar using Vimperator, but I didn't manage to input something there.
I tried with the sequence <S-F2><CR>screenshot, but after the Toolbar loads, Vimperator already ran all following commands (screenshot) as a sequence in normal mode.
How can I achieve taking website screenshots using a single Vimperator command?
Update:
I experimented a bit more and almost achieved a workaround using this sequence:
<S-F2>:js liberator.sleep(300)<CR><S-F2>screenshot --fullpage<CR> where
<S-F2> opens the Developer Toolbar
:js liberator.sleep(300)<CR> take a break to let firefox load the toolbar (could probably be lower than 300ms)
<S-F2> to again gain focus of the toolbar
screenshot --fullpage just input in the toolbar
The problem that occurs now is that I can not 'enter' with <CR> as the toolbar does not recognize any input. Only if I manually enter a whitespace it realizes the screenshot input and lets me 'send' the command.
Of course I am also open to other workarounds not using the Developer Toolbar.
I have an extension running on Chrome with kiosk-printing on. I'm on OS X 10.6.8.
I want it to print a page via the extension, without any dialog.
This works fine with just print(), but chrome prints using settings other than my required preset (page size etc')
How can I make chrome use my required preset?
I've tried the following:
Looking into where the presets and standard settings are saved according to this http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20100125135830153. It seems that chrome doesn't use these settings.
Using the CUPS UI to change the standard preset, but it seems chrome doesn't use these settings either.
Using the disable-print-preview flag, but then the system dialog appears and I lose kiosk printing.
I couldn't find a built in solution, ended up using an applescript to click the print button of the dialog.
Details here How to use applescript to hit enter on system printing dialog box?
Can we open IE in a kiosk mode - but not in a maximized view? We are trying to open an IE instance from a C#.NET app. This instance opens in a kiosk mode but disables the user to select 'OK' on the print preview pop up (as IE is maximized covering the whole screen). We want some way to open ONLY a specific page in IE (thus in kiosk mode) but not covering the full screen so that the user can choose the print options.
Alternatively is there a way to completely disable the print options and print silently using the default options?
Any ideas/suggestions?
It sounds like you're looking for the WebBrowser control, which allows you to embed IE inside your program.
I would take a look into Microsoft HTML Applications:

They are going to give a little more control over how the chrome of the application is displayed, and runs within the context of the currently logged in user.
Printing button is not shown in the report toolbar when they are opened in FireFox.
Is there any solution for print button not showing in FireFox ?
Can it be enabled or there is no workaround for this?
I think your only option here is to export to pdf or another format and then print.
The print button on the toolbar is an activex control, which is not and probably will not be supported in firefox.
