We just tested your page on safari, chrome and firefox. Since Opera is a standards based browser, we are confident it should work there as well.
have you tried using another computer to see if the issue is not local to your local version and setup of Opera?
The print dialogue screen is not something the plugin can control, only trigger to open.
what happens when you simply click on file > print and the print dialogue box pops up there`?
Thanks for checking into this. I did test on two machines, one running XP the other Windows 10, with the exact same result. I had also checked ^P which brings up a new tab in Windows 10 and a close to full screen print dialogue box with no borders or address bar on the XP machine. Neither laptop has a print dialogue box that looks like the one produced by Print-O-Matic. I also see that the print button works fine in Firefox on my XP machine (don’t have Firefox on Windows 10 machine).
Thanks
I downloaded Firefox an Chrome onto my Windows10 laptop, and the print button works fine in both these browsers, as you also found. It just seems like a problem with Opera.

well, then we’ll download opera and see what’s what..
but it might take a day or five.
we’ll put in on the list.
Thanks for your help. I’ll wait for your response. 🙂
Just checking how your ‘list’ is doing. Have you had a chance to check why the print box is not working correctly in Opera?
Thanks
@fedwards:
I’m just zapping through this forum to check, if there are answers regarding the print-o-matic plugin. I tested the link you posted: http://fedwardsconsulting.ca/?page_id=92
And I see, that it works very well (I use firefox). How did you manage, that the printpage closes, when you click the Cancel-Button in the print-dialog? On my page this doesn’t work 🙁 When I click “Cancel” in the print box, then the print page is still open, and I have to close it manually. http://wordpress.webdesign-aus.koeln/
Is there a way to let it close automatically, simultaneously with the print-box?

We can add the ability to control keeping the print window open or close after print/cancel to the next version. In the meantime, this is hard-coded into the plugin, and must be changed manually. How good are you at navigating javascript?
Hi Baden, thanks for your response.
I’m fairly good in javascript, so I would give it a try.

open up printomati.js
https://github.com/baden03/print-o-matic/blob/master/printomat.js
and un-comment out:
w.close();
on line 132
perfect!
That was very easy and produced the desired result.
Thanks a lot for your support !!

So that issue is resolved… oprea still open
Glad to see the close option was resolved. I notice that some programs will open the tiny print dialogue box in Opera, but then the window expands as soon as the preview is loaded. Other programs will open a large print window in Opera.
I hope you can find a solution to the print window problem in Opera.
Thanks
