That was a lifesaver, thank you! Around 11:30 you said that it will try to print it all in one page. Any advice on how to prevent this ? The settings on my printing meny don't give me an option. To be clear, I'd like all records to be printed on as many pages as needed, to make things clean and visible.

Thank you for the preview Reza! Does this function support a direct printing experience without opening a dialog box? Been waiting for a feature like this for warehouse label printing, but currently we had to switch a Power Automate Flow through PrintNode and print RAW data (ZPL) for a Zebra label printer but the benefit was that it allowed for a direct printing action on the OnSelect of a button trigger to this flow. You get a quick label printing set up without opening the dialog, or potentially connect it to other behavioural functions.

Parent of a datacard is the form control. We will need reference of the Screen. For data cards, you would have to use Not(ScreeName.Printing)

(FYI This is not a scrollable screen - as I know the Print function doesn't work for them.)

[@RezaDorrani]

I did try it out again and do notice some inconsistencies based on browser type. Must be a bug. I will report this to the MSFT team.

[@alistairlovatt2730]

@@RezaDorrani Thanks for checking. I hadn't considered it might be browser specific. I normally work on Chrome, but I've just checked on the following browsers / windows systems and they all have the same issue when published, but strangely all OK when in preview. Chrome (90.0.4430.93 64Bit - Win 7 and Win 10) and Edge (90.0.818.56 64Bit - Win 10).

[@RezaDorrani]

@@dottorni2 This seems to be a bug the with print feature. At time of making this video, it was working fine. I would have to revisit the code and see if there is another way to get it to fit the print screen.

Can you print screen as image and save to sharepoint document library ? many thanks Reza

[@RezaDorrani]

Print gives option to save as pdf which can be saved to doc lib (all must be done manually).

[@mprosenica]

Great video! However, it doesn't work the best for the usecase where flexible height gallery is used

[@RezaDorrani]

Print function does not work with flexible height gallery. The limitation is called out in documentation

[@XanderLykopoulos]

Hi Reza, have you tested this with nested galleries too? Would love to hear from you!

[@RezaDorrani]

I have not. Keep in mind that print() currently only supports single page print. So nested galleries would surely go past the single page height scenario.

[@radiosonicfan1726]

Can you share your display settings for this app? It works when editing in the Power Apps Platform solution works. When I publish I think maybe lock aspect ratio or another display setting is overriding the formulas.

[@radiosonicfan1726]

I just tested. Turning off scale to fit and lock aspect ratio solves problem in published app. These two settings when turned on undermine gallery height when printing. There is some conflict.

[@radiosonicfan1726]

My solution to avoid conflict with aspect ratio problem was to create an exclusive print screen. Click icon, navigate to a special print screen (load gallery from previous page): screen height: If(Self.Printing, 2200, 2200), and gallery height: 2150. Then add a back button to print screen. Wish Microsoft could address these odd situations where settings conflict against formulas.

[@RezaDorrani]

There is a bug with print function that is causing it to fail now.

[@kireetiyakkali]

Thanks Reza!! Is there a way to export the data to PPT file?

[@RezaDorrani]

I am not sure about that. I will recommend checking on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/ in case someone has done something similar.

[@mishelwilliam5112]

Hi Reza, 1. Is there a way to set the number of copies to be printed from within the document library(if we have to track the number of copies printed or issued for a particular document, instead of setting it in print screen) 2. also ,on a printed copy can we have details like copy number and to whom the copy must be issued 3.also,can we add names of reviewers at bottom (for getting the document signed by each)

[@RezaDorrani]

1 - I don’t believe there is a way to track number of copies printed from SharePoint only. If using print from Power Apps, every time button is clicked, you could update counter in a data source to keep a track. 2 - printed copy details are same as what you see on App screen. So you would need to put those details on screen. 3 - Possible - would need to be added to screen. What you are trying (based on your questions) looks more like a document review and signature process which is not what print is designed for. You may want to look at 3rd party solutions like Adobe etc.

[@mishelwilliam5112]

my requirement is to generate quality management documents which once reviewed and approved must be printed and issued to various departments.But details like number of copies printed and to whom each copy is given must be available in our system and on the printed document as well

[@RezaDorrani]

@@mishelwilliam5112 I do not have any video reference on this scenario. May be possible based on points I made earlier. I will also recommend checking on forums in case someone has done something similar powerusers.microsoft.com

Can you print multiple pages if the length is long or limited to just one page?

[@RezaDorrani]

Currently, it only supports one page.

Hello Reza Dorrani, Do you know why the printing gallery works well into the developpement environnement but in production, the printing area is still limited to the visible content ? Thanks a lot for your feedback.

It is much needed feature.I implemented something similar but it is not working while I am customizing SharePoint list form and there I am using this Print() function.Any solution would be helpful. I am getting this on browser console- Ignored call to 'print()'. The document is sandboxed, and the 'allow-modals' keyword is not set

[@RezaDorrani]

It has limitations. Only supported for standalone Apps run on the browser. Wait for official blog post.

[@jetraven4960]

Hi Reza, I have watched this video which is great and I have set up my app to print a full A4 page of records from my gallery - however, it looks great when I am editing, but once published onto our SharePoint site, it only prints the first couple of records and cuts off the page. Do you have any advice on what I am missing? I am really struggling to work this one out. Your help would be greatly appreciated 😊

[@RezaDorrani]

I will have to look at your App in action to know the reason for your issue. I will recommend posting your issue with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com

[@Jennyisbored]

Hi Reza, great video! You explain how to show a whole gallery, but could you please explain how you can print screen an entire display form?

[@RezaDorrani]

Form print is also a part of the video.

[@Jennyisbored]

@@RezaDorrani Hi Reza, what if the form is scrollable though (which is what I have)? Because when I print screen currently it doesn’t capture everything

[@RezaDorrani]

@@Jennyisbored You would have to go away from scrollable screen. It only prints what is on screen, if scroll bar then it will print with scroll bar.

Thanks for Great Video!!! but... I just tried it but Height did not expand completely on Preview when the button was pressed. Is this implementation still working?

Height would be max height of print preview page. Cannot be extended beyond that.
