Well not quite. On Chrome Version 33.0.1750.117 under Linux Mint 15 at least it does not work 100%. If you right click 'print' it works OK but window.print() doesn't work at all. I hate browsers! Why can't we just have one. I would even be willing to live with Internet Explorer if it was the only one -- well maybe not!
