Power Apps Print function and adding it to your forms and Apps

People have asked for this feature since I started building Power Apps many moons ago. This video walks you through how to use the feature, some of the "quirks" of the function, and talks a bit about adding it to existing apps.

Hi Shane, I've got a tip too ; P
In case when you Navigate to screen where you click Print button You Could set OnVisible properties Print();; Back()

It give you One click less.
It works for me.
Great video GL&HF

One really fun trick I used this weekend for a scheduling app was to make my gallery's TemplateHeight dependent on the screen's Printing property. If(Parent.Printing, Self.Height/CountA(Self.AllItems.Title), 50) makes it so that when I print, the gallery automatically changes to show all its items at once. It looks really, really good if you're working with items that can afford to be long and thin (like a schedule).

Many thanks Shane for explaining the long awaited function. I hope they will add some improvements to it soon

Wow Shane great new feature. I saw your video and implemented it directly in one of the apps I build. Great Easy to do, piece of cake. In an hour I build a presentation list for training sessions.

Just thinking if you need to use a separate screen to format your data you could save your users a step by using the Onvisible property of the print screen. Your print icon navigates to the print screen and when it becomes visible it triggers the print function, and navigates back the original screen. It would appear to the end user as if the print icon set the data up to be printed.

Hello, Shane. First and foremost, thank you for your time. How do I disable preview? Direct printing

[snuggleseva]

Wow Shane, that's exactly what I needed. Thank you so much for doing this video. Very well presented and explained.

Hi Shane, can we print the screen and sent it through mail at the same time in powerapps

[adamcarter]

Is there a way of using the Launch function so you could print from a mobile??

[cdunsford]

Hi Shane! I'm a super fan of yours...thank you for this...very helpful

Amazon video, but is it possible to print the entire edit form if it is scrollable?

Great vid. Printing to Sharepoint seems like a better option so you can pass the filename. Can have it navigate to the File Destination after the print too! Gotta get flow involved tho.

Thank you for the Help Shane Buddy,
Just one question, Can we print attachments? Or is there any other way to print the attachment of that specific user.

Thank You in advance

Thanks, Shane!

Most of the PowerApps we do are to customize an SPO list, and it looks like the Print function is not supported. Would you or anyone else have a workaround?

Hey Shane, has there been any changes in the last couple years that is worth talking about?

[vidabailey]

Happy Easter! Caught this on same timeframe 2 years later. Bummer this function is limited and needs workarounds, and no help for longer forms. Bad Microsoft, lol. Thanks for this video though, I will need to get creative about getting all my form pages to be shown. Any videos on moving the data and getting everything in one page or best way to just get the information somewhere it can all be printed or placed in a file?

Love your work Shane. I have mixed emotions about this new feature. I wasn't aware it doesn't work on mobile devices, that's a pity. Hopefully this will change in the future. I also see "Cut" and "Paste" Icons have been added....

Thanks! This takes care of a project I'm working on.

It'd be nice to be able to force the Background Graphics on for my less technical issues but this solves an issue I was having while looking much better than the HTML option

[bryanholder]

This is exactly what I needed for a barcoding project! Thanks Shane!

Thank you for the video however the print icon function does not work in the SharePoint form.
