header also doesn't work. See comment here

Tested on both 15.x and 16.x. I cannot reproduce this. It works perfectly fine for me. I suggest providing a reproducible Gist.

[sunchanglong]

Test Gist:
https://gist.github.com/sunchanglong/7c307aeb031e823ed8273ae44e861d45

My printer support both A4, A5 papers.

• Print options pageSize: 'A5'
• System printer default pageSize 'A4'
• Expect print with A5 papers. Result in A4 print, don't honor electron print options pageSize.

Print task queue

[sunchanglong]

I have test in chrome with a5 print using the same printer, it works.

[m4heshd]

@sunchanglong I tried your Gist with Adobe PDF and the output dimensions are correct. Can you try the same or with Microsoft Print to PDF? It would narrow the issue down to physical device interfaces.

[sunchanglong]

@m4heshd I tried to print with Microsoft Print to PDF and the output dimensions are correct too.
When print to physical device, Notice the system print task queue, the print properties is not same with specified in code.

[m4heshd]

Ah. Then this definitely is an issue which needs to be addressed.

[m4heshd]

Just tested this and can confirm. These settings are being completely ignored when printed to non-emulated devices. @codebytere, @nornagon can we get some assistance on this? Printing is such a vital task for a majority of Electron apps. I truly hope this can be addressed soon because since #31489 I've written thousands of lines of code around this whole functionality without the knowledge of this being an issue.

Hello @codebytere , same issue on Linux.
Also custom page sizes like "62X1" for pos printers for example are not supported.

[m4heshd]

Any update on this issue? It's insanely difficult impossible to replace this functionality with third-party libraries.

[Hedwig188]

I think this is related to the print driver(all the ones with the red lines are affected). It doesn't seem like there is any way to workaround the issue currently.

Did you test this on chrome browser?Chrome seems works right.

Yes, I've also confirmed paper size is correctly being respected in Chrome when printing to those affected printers.

[Hedwig188]

Kyocera FS-CS3500DN KX driver is also broken.

[sunchanglong]

hello @codebytere, is there any timeline on this issue? thanks.

#22066

#29532
All above are printing pageSize bugs.
pageSize bug makes printing in electron nearly not work.
@codebytere hopes this would be solved.

Hello, Is it in the plan?

Is there a plan to fix this issue?

[ShaunaGordon]

electron@24.7.1 respects custom pageSize, but then v25 presents with the bug described in #39179

[WillPoulson]

Also experiencing the same issue with 25, 24 working perfect

[m4heshd]

Opening a new issue is the only way to get help for this. This issue is tagged with ancient, unsupported versions of Electron. So devs won't pay any attention to these. Try the latest stable releases, create a repro gist if the issue persists, and open a new issue. Silent printing works perfectly fine on Chromium BTW. Worth mentioning that.

[moom-en]

This issue has been left over for many years, and if it is consistently marked as Does Not Block Stable, then this issue will never be resolved @codebytere @dsanders11

@m4heshd Codebytere has specifically said not to open duplicates of this, fyi. Our only option is to continue to post here to keep it open.

[m4heshd]

@ShaunaGordon You can clearly see that all that happened and the tags were updated AFTER my comment you quoted. Yet this issue from 2021 is still open and is reproducible after more than 10 major releases later. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[ShaunaGordon]

I'm aware, hence the "fyi" part.

BIXOLON SRP-350plusII cannot define pageSize with silent : true option.
This is really problem.
