This is an asynchronous function that returns aPromise. An extension can detect when print preview has been closed by listening to the afterprint event: window.addEventListener("afterprint", resumeFunction, false);
Syntax
var openingPreview = browser.tabs.printPreview()
Parameters
None.
Return value
A Promise that will be fulfilled with no arguments when the preview page has opened.
Examples
In this example a background script listens for a click on a browser action, then opens print preview for the currently active tab:
browser.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(() => { browser.tabs.printPreview() .then(() => { console.log("Entered print preview"); }); });
