Question I want to print my web page with the javascipt funcion:window.print(); and it popups a printer setting dialog,but how can judge the user has printed or not?
Answer This is not possible currently, for security reasons.
The print dialog is part of your operating system, ans JavaScript is not allowed access to the operating system in ways like this. That kind of access would be a major security breach and open the system up to a whole host of vulnerabilities.
