Re: INFO : Print automatically by appending string in Ghostscript
Sorry for the late reply.
Haven't tested yet.
Now I have tested it and if adobe reader is not installed then it
automatically downloads the file ( which was default behavior of Guacamole
).
But if adobe is there in the machine then it automatically open the print
menu of the browser.

I will look into it and if I will find anything I will update the same in
the thread.
I want to give it a shot.

As far as I know, it is not possible to determine whether the browser has a
built-in PDF viewer, or more generally, whether an attempt to open a PDF
within an iframe will succeed. I actually looked into streamlining printing
as you describe toward the end of 2016, and this issue was primary reason
that I gave up on the concept as impossible. If this situation hasn't
changed since then (it sounds like it hasn't), then we may still be out of
luck.

It works if browser has the inbuilt pdf viewer or local machine has pdf
viewer installed.
Print preview in an iframe works in chrome and firefox ( as they have
inbuilt PDF Viewer )
IE needs local PDF viewer otherwise it will show the blank pop-up ( iframe
) and download it.
I will contribute. I need to look into the issue and check if browser
doesn't have inbuilt pdf viewer it automatically downloads instead showing
blank iframe pop-up.
*Any Suggestions how to check if browser has inbuilt pdf viewer or whether
it will open pdf file in an iframe *

Amarjeet, have you been able to get this to work? Is this something you are
looking to contribute?
