Hi all, I am looking into this again, and we implemented the print: http://www.google.com; hookup functionality into chromium (ToT). So far it just shows a webpage. I am trying to figure out how we could bring the image in there, so I worked on this CL (http://codereview.chromium.org/159387)

Don't we have to re-render the page for printing anyway, since many sites have print-specific CSS? -Nick On Mon, Jul 27, 2009 at 6:52 PM, Mohamed Mansour m0.interact...@gmail.comwrote: Hi all, I am looking into this again, and we implemented the print: http://www.google.com; hookup

I really like the mock-up, when can you do one for Settings? If we are going to include settings to this page (such as margins, headers, footers, etc), does that mean it would be per page? I was thinking of global printer settings which will be persistent. I don't know how that will fit this

I really like the idea of a page for printing. It will feel pretty consistent with chrome UI. And I'll also love an easy option for removing all header and footers at once. Sometimes you print a document and then you want URL, page numbers, and so. But also many times you print plain tickets,

I don't think so, it would be using the same infrastructure of history / downloads / and new tab page. Someone can correct me if I am wrong. -- Mohamed Mansour On Thu, Jun 4, 2009 at 9:43 AM, Marshall Greenblatt magreenbl...@gmail.comwrote: Hi Ben, On Wed, Jun 3, 2009 at 11:16 PM, Ben

I notice you did not include page size, yet all the MSFT ones have it. I personally find this useful (my printer has both 8.5x11 and A4 loaded, and I use them both -- mostly 8.5x11, but a4 when I'm printing certain PDFs (magazine articles, forms, etc from anywhere other than the US). Maybe I'm

Aha, perfect setup to a point I neglected to make: Lets make simple things simple, and hard things possible, here. I feel for Ian, but only a little. The reason I threw out an idea around headers and footers is not because I use them a lot, it's because I have no idea at all what my current

Then you could directly see the effect of the settings you were changing on the printed output. So similar what Scott suggestion regarding inline editing? So something like this, or even more real-time ... NOTE: I just drew this at work with mspaint with paint brush and transform ;x

I think the headers and footers are confusing (everywhere). Why not just a single popup for each selection which displays a real-time view of each thing? So it might have items like: Header: Bonsai Kitten http://www.shorty.com/bonsaikitten/; Footer: Page 1 of 2

What I meant was to have a popup full of formatted choices which look like the thing you want to have. So instead of Page # of #, which is pretty abstract, Page 1 of 2. Also, instead of have six places where you can list five different things (Firefox has five, two of which are variants of each
