How can I redirect ctrl+p event to ctrl+shift+p event in chrome?

When I try to print in Chrome browser, it shows up the print preview panel to user.

I want to open the system print dialog in chrome instead of the print preview panel.

Is this possible with JavaScript?

Actually I want to override CTRL+P with CTRL+SHIFT+P in JavaScript. Some code example will be very much appreciated.

This answer is really simple:

1.You can't

Print dialogs are not scriptable using JavaScript. They're proprietary parts of browsers themselves.

2. And absolutely don't think about doing this!

  • It is not your choice, its not your client.

  • It has nothing to do with your website.

Let users choose for themself

They will press ctrl+shift+P when they want to use system print dialog.

People can disable chrome print view by typing about:flags into the address bar and disable Print Preview.
