windows 7 - Disable Chromes Ctrl+P handling of printing


How can I disable Google Chrome's CTRL+P handling of printing (i.e. return the keyboard shortcut to Windows and how it handles printing)?


Windows 7 64-bit
Chrome v13.0.782.112


Edit, Now that I know how, this generates a more interesting question, can you add more than one disable flag to the shortcut target box?, and how?


Update, as of version 14.0.835.163, you can disable print preview in About:Flags


.



Answer



To temporarily disable Chrome's new Print Preview feature and use the OS's instead, as Moab already noted, add the flag/command-line-switch --disable-print-preview to your shortcut to Chrome. For example:


"C:\Users[user name]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --disable-print-preview

or


C:\Users[user name]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --disable-print-preview

(Source: Moab's edit and indirectly this thread.)




To have multiple flags (disable multiple features, for instance), add them one after the other, for example:


C:\Users[user name]\...\chrome.exe --disable-print-preview --disable-javascript

disables print previewing and javascript. Useful Chrome flags can be found here.
