Javascript Load HTML Page into new window and print

I am quite new to javascript. I want to load a html page into new window and print that page. The page is successfully loaded. But it only prints a blank page. (Test with MS XPS document writer) Here is my code..

var newWin=window.open("Home.html","_blank","menubar=0,resizable=1,width=320,height=320");
            newWin.focus();                                         
            newWin.print();
        newWin.close();

Use a load handler on the new window so print won;t start until page is loaded

newWin.onload=function(){
    newWin.focus();                                         
    newWin.print();
    newWin.close();
}

Try this: The content that you're trying to print might not have loaded fully yet when the print command is issued, so by wrapping it in a timer, you force the print to be placed at the end of the execution queue.

var newWin = window.open("Home.html","_blank","menubar=0,resizable=1,width=320,height=320");
setTimeout(function() {
    newWin.focus();                                         
    newWin.print();
    newWin.close();
}, 1);
