Printing Content

Question

Hello,

I have an article page in my Windows 8 app that has horizontally scrollable content. I have integrated my app with the Printer but the default argument that I'm passing (The 'document' arg) is printing just what is appearing on the screen rather than the whole content spanning multiple pages.

Is there a way in which I can set what content (div) should be sent for printing and what not? I believe I can set this in the CSS but I'm not sure how. I have the requirement which is exactly what has been asked in this thread but the content on the link posted as answer has been removed!

Thank you,

-Sri

Hi Sri,

Check out this article:

You probably want to use print CSS media queries for your situation!
