Printing to PDF from WebView2

Question

I need an example of how to print from a web page to the default printer using WebView2. The example in the documentation doesn't seem complete. I also need to know what library I need to import if applicable.

PrinterSettings printSettings;
printSettings = webView21.CoreWebView2.Environment.CreatePrintSettings();
webView21.CoreWebView2.PrintAsync(printSettings);

@Wael Sedky, Welcome to Microsoft Q&A, you could try to use CoreWebView2.PrintToPdfAsync(String, CoreWebView2PrintSettings) Method to print pdf from webview2 control.

Here is a code example you could refer to.

  private async void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            await webView21.EnsureCoreWebView2Async();
            webView21.CoreWebView2.Navigate("https://www.example.com");
        }

        private async void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            var printSettings = webView21.CoreWebView2.Environment.CreatePrintSettings();
            printSettings.PageHeight = 297; // A4 paper size
            printSettings.PageWidth = 210;
            printSettings.MarginTop = 10;
            printSettings.MarginBottom = 10;
            printSettings.MarginLeft = 10;
            printSettings.MarginRight = 10;
    
            var pdfData = await webView21.CoreWebView2.PrintToPdfAsync("B:\\test1.pdf",printSettings);
           
        }

Tested result:

Hope my code could help you.
