Current problem

Printer plugin does not include web

Preferred solution

Have printer plugin support iOS, Android and Web.

Alternative options

It would be a great option to add the ability to print a specific element in the Webview. Ideally targeted by an 'id'. The old Cordova printer plugin was able to do this, I think.

Thank you for your request! So is your issue about the web platform being supported or that you can select a specific element by ID when printing the WebView on Android and iOS? These are two different things.

Sorry for the confusion. I was specifically asking for web support. I previously used the cordova printer plugin to target printing a specific id on a page in device and web. It was just a comment/suggestion. I also was able to include print.css but that may be too much to ask!

Thanks for the clarification. I will have a look at the issue at the weekend. That shouldn't be too much work.

@macsupport I've just added web support for the printWebView() method. You can use a print style sheet to customize the print output, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_media_queries/Printing.

Feel free to give it a try using the following dev version:

npm i @capawesome-team/[email protected]

Let me know if you encounter any issues.
