Printing from offscreen document

[Alexander Gerber]

Is it possible to open the print dialog and print from an offscreen document? I messed with it a bit and can't seem to make it work.

Let me know what you think.

Shouldn't be possible because it's invisible.

Gotcha. Is there any way to print from the popup page?

[woxxom]

I don't think so. Either open a new tab via chrome.tabs.create or a new popup window via chrome.windows.create using 'print.html' where this file is a part of your extension that gets the data from the background script via messaging/storage and invokes the print dialog.
