Hi all,

I have following code in haml form that print current webpage

I call this page from another page like user profile page like

=link\_to ‘Print’, print\_user\_path(@user)

this calls “print.html.haml”

## print.html.haml

## %script print(); =ALL DATA TO PRINT

PROBLEM IS THAT : I want to print data with out rendering to  
print.html.haml page.

means when i click on “print” link on profile page it directly open  
print dialog box and print data from “print.html.haml” file

How can i do that?

Thanks,  
Vikas
