Hello, I need a functionality where i can print out the content on just one click with out dialog box alert. So is it possible with ruby on rails?

Thanks

This is a function of the browser, not of Rails.

In Firefox there's a setting in about:config (you may have to manually add the setting to prefs.js) named print.always_print_silent. It sends print jobs directly to the default printer without the dialog.

In general, you do NOT want to do this. The alert dialog exists to prevent DoS attacks on your network. I don't know if / which other browsers even allow it.

HTH, Bill
