As for window.print(), what if it returns false if printing is not
supported?
It might be better as |true| (crappy API issues aside), because
otherwise if a page writes |if (window.print())| it'll get false in all
existing browsers, no?
Ah, I see. Good point.
Since making print() return something isn't going to help with older UAs
and returning true would feel backwards, instead of:
if (window.print()) {
alert("Printing is not supported");
}
, we could do this:
if (typeof navigator.printingEnabled === "function" &&
!navigator.printingEnabled()) {
alert("Printing is not supported");
} else {
window.print();
}
It's more verbose though and I'm not sure any will like it. But, tossing
it out there.
