Bug Description

Evergreen 3.8 / Wishlist

When using Hatch for printing, it would be handy to have the option of sending select print jobs to the browser for printing instead of having the print job go through Hatch.

It's useful in one-off cases where you want to temporarily change a print setting, e.g. print in landscape. It would also be very useful for testing/debugging/development purposes.

Here's a patch:

https://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=working/Evergreen.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/user/berick/lp1955838-hatch-native-printer-option

Note because AngJS and Angular have slightly different behavior in which setting values are cached in IndexedDB, changing a print setting in the AngJS printer UI requires logging out and back in before the change takes affect on the Angular pages.

Noting we use this now in production and it's very handy, especially for modifying print templates and other debugging.

This works great! Tested in both Chrome and Firefox.

It allows more flexibility for some print jobs, like pull lists, while still providing for controlled, automatic printing, like receipts.
