You're going to have to supply a LOT more detail than this. At least show the code and describe what you expect to happen and what is happening.

Solution 1

The print function in javascript prints the current web page, but you have to go through the Print Preview dialog first. It does NOT print whatever you supply as an argument, so there is no way to print any arbitrary text. This is for security reasons.

Solution 2

As Dave said, the print() method[^] prints the current webpage.

If you're looking to output text to the developer console then consider using the console.log() method[^]
