Javascript window.print() causes browser to hang

I have a page that displays a list of "tickets". On each of these tickets, I'd like a "print" button which prints off just that ticket. I have this all working (cutting out the relevant info ready for printing, changing the colours to black on white etc) except that I would like it to automatically print the document rather than the user having to hit print (or Ctrl+P). When I call window.print() in javascript, it just hangs the browser (I've tried Chrome, Firefox and IE). If I manually press Ctrl+P or the print button, it works fine.

Has anyone ever come across this before, it seems pretty odd?

If you are using jQuery, you could try the following to print if document is loaded

$(document).ready(function(){ 
  window.print();
});

Or as Pursse suggested

$(document).ready(function(){ 
  setTimeout(function(){
       window.print();
    }, 1000);
});
