jQuery Page Print

This plugin shows a print preview of the current page in a modal window. It's inspired from the jQuery Print Preview plugin.

The plugin also tries to capture the "CTRL + P" and "Command + P" keybindings. The modal window is shown when you press the keys for the first time. Pressing the keys while the modal is opened will open the print window of the browser. Unlike traditional print previews this plugin brings in all content and print styles within a modal window.

The icons used in the plugin were taken from the FatCow Web Hosting Icon Set.

How To Use

In order to use this plugin you must insert into the page the followings:

• The jQuery script file;

You can initialize the plugin by calling pagePrint function on any jQuery collection.
