Automatically open the printer dialog after providing PDF download

Question

I am currently opening a pdf file in a new tab in my browser but I need to know how to open a printer dialog to print the pdf jasper report after pressing a commandButton

Answer 1

There is a Primefaces's component for that purpose.

Something like this might work, not tested though.

Note :

does have a print button to print the displayed pdf.

Edit :

You have to embed the pdf file inside an iframe and use the JavaScript print() function on it, or you can activate the auto-print function in the PDF itself. But it is definitely possible.
