Chrome Printing without keyboard

Post#1 by ravione » 22 Feb 2019, 10:30

Hi,

I'm using Porteus Kiosk to show a custom webpage. Users should be able to login via on screen keyboard and then print reports. I've came across 3 problems:

1. lack of my printer driver - solved, added my konica ppd to the iso
2. lack of built in on screen keyboard - kind of solved, added chrome virtual keyboard extension. but its slow to install on boot..
3. problem with printing form webpage

So to sum up I've managed to add printer driver to the ISO, burned it and in the installation wizard i can print with no problem and virtual keyboard comes up after some time.
But now on that webpage after login users should be able to print reports via the print button that is located on the webpage itself. thats the button code->

<button class="btn btn-danger btn-sm" onclick="window.print()">
<i class="fa fa-print" aria-hidden="true"></i><?=_(' Drukuj ');?>
</button>

but after i press the print button on screen nothing happens, there is no print settings popup. I have tested that webpage on windows and ubuntu and its working.

Can you point me in the right direction of what to do next so I can print from webpage?
