Print another HTML page using javascript:window.print

Question

This is the first time I'm using the following Javascript coding in HTML5, but my printed page is always blank and shows "about:blank". Can anyone maybe help me? The button I coded is the following:

<a href="javascript:window.print()" class="icon-button print" target="LINK TO ANOTHER PAGE"></a>

Can you explain what "the trick" is? What do you want to happen? What actually happens? — evolutionxbox

I want the user to click the button so another page prints immediatly. Right now an empty tab opens and prints a blank page. — MC0REBE

the print function prints the content of the actual page, 
to print the other page you have to to execute the print on the load of that page like this :
<body onload="window.print()">

So I changed my original page to <a href="link" class="icon-button print" target="_blank"></a> and amended the target page to <body class="size-1140 primary-color-green" onload="window.print()"> but it still prints a blank page. Any suggestions?
