Printing from sublime

[andro]

I do not know if errors, but this is all I see:

reloading plugin Diff.diff
reloading plugin HTML.encode_html_entities
reloading plugin HTML.html_completions
reloading plugin ShellScript.ShellScript
plugins loaded

It creates temp files in %TEMP% I now see but does not open the browser, which I have set to Firefox using the Default Apps settings.

This is on Windows 11 Insider Preview. Perhaps we cannot expect it to work.

You could try setting the settings "print_using_browser" to firefox, but it should be using the default browser. Note we use the python webbrowser module to open a new tab.

@bschaaf Here is what I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files\Sublime Text\Lib\python38\sublime_plugin.py", line 1703, in run_
    return self.run(edit)
  File "C:\Program Files\Sublime Text\Packages\Default.sublime-package\html_print.py", line 19, in run
  File "./python3.8/webbrowser.py", line 65, in get
webbrowser.Error: could not locate runnable browser

using:

"print_using_browser": "firefox"

MS does its best to force users to Edge browser. Maybe that’s involved in default browser not being found.

I have MSEdgeRedirect installed to force Win to use Firefox. Maybe this makes a difference.

You could try to add Firefox folder to %PATH% environment variable. Maybe python’s webbrowser module is able to locate and run it then.

Success at last. Combining ideas from all the posts, and reading up on the python webbrowser module, I added this to the preferences settings file:

"print_using_browser": "firefox"

Then I added the path for firefox to the Windows PATH variable:

C:Program Files\Mozilla Firefox

A reboot, and printing now works. I hope this may be useful to people in the future.

Thanks! Great!

DEFINITELY, I reckon it would be really useful for printing to open the printing preview to print to .pdf
