I use Geoserver, Openlayers, Extjs and GeoExt to build an app.

I am trying to get vector layer on Google map printed with pop up a Print dialog, I tried :

var targetElement = Ext.getCmp('mapPanel');
                    var myWindow = window.open('', '', 'width=600,height=500');
                    myWindow.document.write('<html><head>');
                    myWindow.document.write('<title>' + 'Title' + '</title>');
                    myWindow.document.write('</head><body>');
                    myWindow.document.write(targetElement.body.dom.innerHTML);
                    myWindow.document.write('</body></html>');
                    myWindow.print();

it works fine except that Vector layer were not printed. I got Google map only. How I can do that ?

Is your vector layer in the Google Mercator projection (900913)? I believe your vector layer has to be in the same coordinate system as the Google Map tiles.

    Yes I use the new Google projection and transform vector layer using: .transform(new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:4326"),new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:3857")) ... it displayed on the map but when I print it on real paper I got Google layer only. – Shadin Sep 18 '12 at 8:56

Some browsers will require you enable the “Print background colors and images” in order to print properly.

Did you tried with different browsers?

  • Also, the popup of vector feature was not printed! though all features printed just fine. – Shadin Sep 18 '12 at 10:51
  • Maybe this can help: stackoverflow.com/questions/9984824/… and you can also try to play with Google Chrome hidden options - at the adress bar just type chrome://about/ and play with it (start with chrome://flags/) – jcoelho Sep 19 '12 at 14:50
  • And plus this one: stackoverflow.com/questions/2392366/… But may be not possible to do it on Google Chrome... – jcoelho Sep 19 '12 at 14:52
