# 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.

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.**
