You can not disable print functionality on browser, but you can control the content of print using window.onafterprint and window.onbeforeprint. Below is sample

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head><title>
	Untitled Page
</title>
    <style>
    @media print
  {
     .hide
     {
     	display:none;
     }
  }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <form name="form1" method="post" action="WebForm4.aspx" id="form1">
<div>

</div>
 
    <div>
        <iframe src="http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_mediatypes.asp" id="iframe1" class="hide"></iframe>
    </div>
    </form>
 
    <script>
    
  
    </script>
 
</body>
</html>

HI, Thank you for reply, i had try run the script, but it allow me to print out the document, Any ideas ?

Can you tell me which browser are you using?

Prasad Khandekar 1-Jul-13 2:31am

Hello Mahesh,

I think window.onafterprint and window.onbeforeprint are not supported by all the browsers.

Regards,

Mahesh Bailwal 1-Jul-13 3:29am

Yes, you are right chrome does not support.

caulsonchua 1-Jul-13 2:43am

i use google chrome and IE

Mahesh Bailwal 1-Jul-13 3:28am

Unfortunately Chrome does not support before and after print. So you need to use CSS @media print. Just updated my solution.

caulsonchua 1-Jul-13 3:45am

How about IE 8 and IE 9 ?

Mahesh Bailwal 1-Jul-13 5:36am

Below mention solution should work on all browser

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head><title>
Untitled Page
</title>
<style>
@media print
{
.hide
{
display:none;
}
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="WebForm4.aspx" id="form1">
<div>

</div>

<div>
<iframe src="http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_mediatypes.asp" id="iframe1" class="hide"></iframe>
</div>
</form>

<script>

</script>

</body>
</html>

Please mark question solved if it worked for you.

Hi Mahesh,
I have tried the code that you suggested for restricting printing .
My iframe contents the logon page. Before logging the code works fine and whenever I logon to the ifram application it allows users to print the contenet. Please help.
