  • everyone is correct that you can't automatically print things through a users browser, you can only open up the print context menu and they need to hit print. But if you have a central printer for a bunch of registers you can setup a php print server that automatically prints. Search `php print server`, there are some open source solutions that might work for you – RightClick Jun 04 '15 at 13:58

You cannot do that directly but u can use 

window.print()

and hide the elements u dnt want to get printed by ur css

@media print
{    
  .no-print, .no-print *
  {
    display: none !important;
  }
}
