Awesome Print Button Extension

Version 1.2.0.1 Notes: Update for Chrome 71.0.3578.98.

Version 1.0.1.9 Notes: Mandatory update to Chrome Extension Manifest version 2.

Version 1.0.1.1 Notes: Chrome 17 has been updated such that the print preview window is no longer presented in a new tab. Now the print preview window opens up in a child window in the current tab. This broke the 'open in New Window' feature.

To compensate for this, the Awesome Print Button version 1.0.1.1 'open in New Window' option now duplicates the selected tab in a new window, and then triggers the Chrome print preview window.

Mattes B (ID: 000000d3cdfcc50e) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 10/08/2017 "Print Friendly & PDF" muss deaktiviert sein, sonst funktioniert es schonmal gar nicht. Das ergebnis ist etwas besser, aber noch nicht zufrieden stellend. Für meinen Zweck (sreenshot ebay-seite) nicht zu gebrauchen.

Kate Watkins (ID: 0000008ac265d5ac) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/04/2017 Click on more settings when doing the usual CTRL-P command. You can move the margins in the image preview on the right which helped a lot when a page was bad at work
