Handling 'print' dialog in chrome browser

[sree]

I have  a solutions for handling 'print' dialog. But all solutions work with firefox, but not work with chrome.

I have two solutions 1. using AutoIT tool 2. Robot class

                        i.e Robot r = new Robot();

r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE);

r.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE);

When i ran above code, 'print' dialog exit in ff, but not in chrome

Reason: Selenium will execute steps after page load finishing. when i click 'print' dialog in chrome it the previous page shows always loading mark as shown in attached files.

I want to handle 'print' dialog in chrome browser.

Please find the attached screen shot for more information on my issue.

Selenium can't do it.  Your options (as you already know based on your post) are things like AutoIt and Java robot classes.

I would question why you need to test the print dialogue, it's not as if it's going to suddenly stop working or you could fix it if it did.  Sounds like a waste of testing effort to me.

IMO Printing should not be an automated task. Even when employers want everything to be automated, you have to sell them on the idea that some things are better handled with a manual test, and then sell them again on the idea that printing is one of those things that can fail just outside of the scope of the program. The testing of printing should end (again IMO) when the dialog is displayed.

Testing that a print dialogue appears when clicking on a print button *is* testing the print dialogue
