Print page in Canvas

unknown

I am attempting to add code to allow users to print pages in Canvas. Can anyone provide the code to do so? HTML?

Looking to make pages accessible. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Fundamentally you can print any page using the javascript print command:

window.print()

You could make a button that gets inserted into each page using theme customization and calls this function when pressed. However, this is not really distinct from just telling the user to print the page from their browser. Is there a more specific process or output that you have in mind?

I can add to this conversation. We are looking to create a print button that will print a particular

on a page. For example, we create a schedule on a page. Students have asked if they could print just the schedule. We can tell them to select the schedule and then select File>Print>Selection, but that's alot of explanation. If we could just have a print button on the page that read "Print Schedule" that would be perfect.
