Silent Printing

Silent printing and Kiosk printing are terms used for printing from a browser with no confirmation dialogs. Doing so enables your users to more quickly print from the browser, generally with a single click.

Print Confirmation Dialog - Silent Printing Eliminates This

Unfortunately, web apps like ServiceNow cannot force a browser to print without the confirmation dialog. This is a security constraint in all modern browsers.

However, most browsers can be configured for silent printing. For example, to enable silent printing in Firefox:

1. Type 'about:config' in the address bar and press Enter

2. Right-click on the page and select 'New' -> 'Boolean'

3. Enter a preference name of 'print.always_print_silent' with a value of 'true' and click OK.

All browsers require a different configuration to allow silent printing, and those configurations may vary across browser versions and operating systems.

We recommend using your favorite search engine to search for the configuration necessary for the browser version and operating system you require.
