In Ionic 2 you can use Ionic Native with the Cordova printer plugin to print either to a PDF file or to a real paper .The steps to follow are easy . First add the Cordova plugin for printing with

cordova plugin add https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-printer.git

Next import classes 

import {Printer, PrintOptions} from 'ionic-native';

Then add this method to your class 

    print(){

        Printer.isAvailable().then(function(){
            Printer.print("https://www.techiediaries.com").then(function(){
            alert("printing done successfully !");
            },function(){
            alert("Error while printing !");
            });
        }, function(){
        alert('Error : printing is unavailable on your device ');
        });

}

To test the method add a button to your template 

       <button class="button" (click)="print()">Print</button>
